What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

In addition to my eighteen years experience and expertise in coaching executives to fulfill their business and personal vision. I have the unique experience of having walked through the world as both a man and a woman in business. I was assigned female at birth, transitioned to male in 2001 and went off testosterone in 2018 and now identify as a nonbinary human. My experience and unique perspective gives me a keen insight into the gender dynamics of the workforce and makes me a powerful advocate and coach
for executive women.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

Writing my book “Lean Inside” and creating my own signature “Lean Inside” methodology has been the most significant contribution to my success. My book all my word utilizes my education and understanding of neuroscience, mindfulness and new
thought principles to help people take
Practical steps toward their own personal transformation. I have had many people just read my book and come away with a new level of power and transformation in their lives. I couldn’t ask for a better way to be of service to others which is always my main goal.
