Welcome to my website

My services and website are devoted to providing holistic strategies for business and life. The approaches I use for life and business are the same – what you learn in life applies to business. What you learn in business applies to life.

Organizations come to me wanting:

  • holistic approaches to business success – where people are more fully engaged and alive;
  • leaders developed and synergized across organizations – where people take charge of their own life and career;
  • something different than what’s been done before – where actions and values are truly aligned;
  • processes that address the core of what is not working – where change is ongoing, not an event;
  • online career development – to support individual empowerment and organizational leadership.

Individuals come to me:

  • unhappy with who they’ve become;
  • with little time for their families;
  • in difficulty maintaining their energy and passion for work;
  • confused about next steps for their business and careers;
  • in a persistent state of not having enough time and money;
  • having forgotten what they are good at and what they love;
  • confused about what they want.

The focus of my work includes:

  • Career Coaching
    • Career Goal Setting
    • Career Path Evolution
    • Career Transitions
    • New Career Development
  • Leadership Development
    • Personal Everyday Leadership
    • Organizational Performance Leadership
  • Stress Relief

My strategies guide you back to a connection with ‘who you are’ at your core – individually, as a team, group, and organization.

My approaches draw inspiration from nature, so like a river you learn to flow from your center in everything you do, maintaining health and balance as you go.

I know that what the river says is what I need to hear: to know myself, to feel wild again, to confront my own limits and move beyond them into the untamed country on the other side. I will return here in spite of the river’s name; but I will never return the same again, and that, after all, is most clearly what the river says.

The approaches I use with my Associates, clients, both individuals and organizations, are presented on our IAM website. We like to call the results we achieve with IAM glowing and flowing

I invite you to explore my website. I hope you enjoy!
