I transform companies into high growth businesses

Since I am not the best at promoting myself, I decided to write a poem instead.

If I'm going to be egocentric, I might as well have it rhyme, right?

Jeff was born in Philly,
But don’t think that makes him silly,
He grew up outside of New York,
And was 32 before he ever tasted pork.

But none of that is info you will care about,
It’s his mind for business that makes people want to shout,
He’s got more insights than most people dream about,
There’s nothing more he loves than helping other people out.

He’s an avid problem solver, that’s what he knows,
His focus is on helping executives grow,
He’s a results-driven leader who helps make you more money,
Like he’s done for Citi, Nestle, Gannett, Omnicom and Sony.

He’s a 3x entrepreneur and successful corporate leader,
He’s part coach, part therapist, and a tiny part teacher.
He’s been called a “leader’s leader”, which is quite nice,
He’s really easy to talk to if you want some advice.

So let’s wrap up this poem, it’s gone on long enough,
The point that I’m making shouldn’t be too tough,
If you want creativity and smarts and the secrets to growth,
You should talk to Jeff, it will benefit us both.

Advisory Board Member

I’m a Narratologist. I founded Spatial Shift and created ShiftStory™ — a narrative pilgrimage for people standing at a threshold.

I spent decades in the corporate world as a strategist and seller, moving over $1B in marketing solutions to the Global 1000. Then I walked away from the boardroom to pursue something deeper: the power of human narrative as a compass for change.

What I saw, again and again, was this: smart, capable people losing connection with their own story. That insight became a calling.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with founders, executives, creatives, and catalysts to help them navigate not just what’s next — but who they’re becoming. My process blends strategic clarity with emotional resonance, shaped by a career that spans multiple industries, systems thinking, and a deep fascination with the poetics of becoming.

I’m the co-author of Narrative Generation, a wine geek living in Napa, and the writer of Now New Next, a weekly meditation on momentum, meaning, and the long game.

ShiftStory™ is the synthesis of everything I’ve lived, learned, and let go of.

This isn’t a workshop. It’s a rite of passage.

And I walk it with you, one story at a time.
