While there were many great days, there have been many painful experiences along the way, many of which I could have avoided with some external guidance. I would have loved to have had a mentor that I could have turned to for advice, support, encouragement, accountability, challenge, and much more. I get huge pleasure in guiding business leaders to avoid those pitfalls, identify the bigger opportunities, make the right choices based on bigger picture thinking. I know the positive impact my work with clients can have them, their businesses and their families. 🚀Seize the Day! Accelerating Business Success.

That can be growth, it can be getting personal time back, it can be guiding them to clarity about their goals and dreams, it can be guiding them to take action on the blockers they have either ignored or not seen. It can be making their business fun once again, it can be stretching them to achieve more, it can be reducing or eliminating the overwhelm they feel at times. It can be solving unsolvable problems with them. A husband and father, in my spare time, I like Crossfit, clay pigeon shooting, paddleboard, competitive sailing, the gym, walking and skiing off-piste in unusual places. I would rather do it than watch it so I don’t support any particular sports teams and have zero interest in football!
