When Coaching Makes a Difference

Many of the executives I work with seek support at inflection points. Common situations include:

  • Stepping into a more senior role and navigating the increase in scope and visibility
  • Leading a team through a period of change or uncertainty
  • Working through a high-stakes decision or strategic choice
  • Sensing a gap between current performance and what's possible, and wanting structured support to close it

These are examples of some of the opportunities I help executives work through with clarity and action.

The Power Walk Method

A movement-based approach to executive coaching.

My coaching sessions take place while walking, either in person on a Salt Lake City or Phoenix trail, or virtually with you walking wherever you are. There is substantial research showing that physical motion changes how the brain processes complex problems, and the practical effect is that conversations go places they often can't from a conference room or a video call.

A typical session involves:

  • A focused discussion of the specific challenge, decision, or situation you're working through
  • Perspective drawn from both my coaching training and 30+ years of executive experience
  • Recognition of your talent and experience to unlock solutions and opportunities
  • Manageable, clear, concrete next steps
