Peak Performance Coach | Advisor | Founder - I help individuals and teams unlock their potential using neuroscience-backed techniques for more joy, meaning, and impact.

I am an executive coach who helps leaders master energy, focus, and flow. My coaching is a unique blend of neuroscience, sports science, and my experience as a senior leader in highly volatile, complex and uncertain environments. 

I helped build three companies past $8B in valuation with two IPOs and one private exit. 

I have been a hacker, researcher, athlete and explorer most of my life. 

When I was 19, I started hacking my brain with light and sound, meditation, and neurofeedback.

This led to a lifetime of finding ways to train the brain just like an athlete would train the body.

I chased flow through mountaineering, rock climbing, and endurance events discovering a formula that worked for a while but was not sustainable. 

My training  in yoga, meditation, and breathwork helped me respond to the stresses of working as an executive in the cybersecurity industry. 

Further studies in neuroscience helped me ground the training in the latest knowledge about the brain and how it responds and adapts to stress. 

This experience led me to create the Corporate Athlete Program, to help leaders do the best work of their lives, while feeling great at the same time. 

What can I help with? 
>> Automate and eliminate low value activities
>> Increase time in flow for greater productivity
>> Turn curiosity into passion and purpose
>> Think big and use leverage to maximize impact
>> Give gratitude to increase joy and love in your life
>> Align activities to your purpose through clear goals
>> Reduce addiction to screens and cheap dopamine

My practice is grounded in trust building, powerful practices, and empathic support and accountability.

Today is the 100th Move and Groove Monday newsletter.

A hundred weeks of research. A hundred personal stories. A hundred Monday pep talks.

Thank you for reading and providing feedback all along the way!

I almost just wrote number 101 and kept going. Then I caught myself falling into an old pattern. Ship the work, start the next thing. No pause. No recognition. Just movement. 

If you're anything like me, you do the same thing. You hit a milestone at work and immediately move to the next goal. No celebration. No acknowledgment. Just more grind.

The brain craves meaningful milestones.

So I stopped. Took a breath. Acknowledged the milestone. Felt proud of showing up every Monday for nearly two years.

The pause mattered. I feel motivated for the next stretch. I feel more creative.

Why is this?

I choked during a strategic presentation to executive staff.

The goal was to move forward with a strategic technology investment.

I knew this material cold.

Then someone asked a question. Not even a hard one.

I was two slides in and instead of addressing it directly, I started spinning.
My brain seized up. I started second-guessing myself. I gave a rambling answer that confused everyone and lost my place in the narrative.

The rest of the presentation felt like I was running through mud. Material I'd rehearsed came out choppy. The result was not what I wanted. I was asked to come back the next week with more certainty on the questions...

Three months after leaving my CIO role to start Be Well Innovation and I was scattered.

Every coffee chat. Every exploratory call. Every partnership session. I said yes to all of it.

I was afraid of missing an opportunity that would fuel my business, but I was avoiding the real work of meeting with prospects.

My energy tanked. My focus was scattered. The work that mattered (building real programs and serving clients) got squeezed into the margins.

Every "yes" was effectively deprioritizing strategic, customer-facing work...

The dishes don't care if you want to do them...

That project at work doesn't care if you are motivated...

When my kids complain about doing the dishes, I tell them that the dishes don't care, they still need to be done. They grumble and complain and end up doing the dishes.

A small lesson for when they face real work. 

Sure, there are times when you are highly motivated and tackle whatever challenges are in front of you. Your energy is high, your motivation is strong, and you like the work. Go for it. Ship it.

There are other times when you are tired, you are unmotivated, and you just want to collapse on the couch and leave the dishes in the sink. Instead, take action. Go for it. Ship it. 

Action will create energy.
Action will create motivation.
Action will create discipline.
Action will rewire your brain.

Because the dishes don't care.
