With an illustrious career of 25+ years in leadership positions at Fortune 100 companies (Cisco, Yahoo, PwC and now Google), and working with exceptional people and teams across all continents, I’ve found my calling in coaching.
I have spent the last 8 years building and honing my coaching skills, so that you can have the fastest breakthroughs in whatever you’re trying to achieve. I have gone through 200+ hours of coach training from multiple coach training organizations and have a wide variety of certifications and credentials.
I have worked with 100s of clients from all parts of the world with different backgrounds and have over 2000 coaching hours under my belt!
While I customize my approach to suit each client’s needs, there are a few key things that make my practice different from other coaches in the market.
My Coaching Approach
Standing on the shoulders of giants
My coaching methods leverage the decades of work done by world famous researchers and scientists like Viktor Frankl, Mihayi Csikszentmihalyi, Joseph Campbell, Martin Seligman, Daniel Goleman, David Rock, Carol Dweck, BJ Fog, James Clear, James Kouzes, Barry Posner, Patrick McKeown, Adam Grant, Steven Kotler and others.
Grounded in neuro-science
For behavior change to occur, we need to understand how the brain works. So, all of my work with you will be based on proven results in neuro-science research. I have done the hard work, so you don’t have to, and I’ll certainly spare you the details, like how the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex have a love-hate relationship
Teach a wo(man) to fish…
This one I’m very passionate about. Empowering people to make changes is important. But, there’s so much conflicting information out there, that most people are overwhelmed with which strategy to use? I firmly believe in providing you with simple, actionable strategies that are tailored for you and will get you the outcome that you want, in the shortest amount of time. All the complexities of options, models, frameworks, assessments etc. stay behind the curtain with me. You fo
I have worked with 100s of people like you to help them unlock their extraordinary leadership.
Now, let me share with you some of the core principles under which I operate…
01. You’re doing the best you can, with the resources that you have at the moment
I strongly believe that you’re giving it your best everyday. Whatever the circumstances, you’re out there doing what you know, with whatever money, education, support you have! Is there room for improvement? Sure! But, let's not beat ourselves about it!
02. Behind every behavior of yours, there is a positive intention
While some behavior might seem bad on the surface, it's really important to understand the underlying intent that’s driving that behavior. For example, smoking often has the positive intention of social connection with a friend. So, let's not be too quick to label the behavior! Once we figure out the underlying need, we can find alternate behaviors to achieve the same!
03. The past does not equal the future (no one is broken)
All pain is old pain. All fear is old fear. You are not the same person you were yesterday. Everything is always changing. If an error has been made, it can be corrected. In every new situation you have the option to do something different than what you did in the past. You are free!
04. Failure doesn’t exist – Only feedback exists
Anything you want to do well is worth doing bad first. Life teaches us important lessons through our mistakes. If you make a mistake, ask yourself what you could learn from it. Let's accept these lessons with humility and gratitude. That’s the secret for growth!
What does “Partner in Crime” mean?
According to the Urban Dictionary, a ‘partner in crime’ is someone
- who has your back no matter what
- who you can tell your secrets to and not be worried about backlash
- who cares for you even with all your flaws
- who won't change who you are
My Promise to You
If you choose to work with me, I’ll always be there for you. I’ll listen to you with patience, and without judgment. I’ll appreciate you for all that you are and understand that everything you do has a positive intention. I will challenge your assumptions and beliefs, especially the ones that are limiting your growth and work tirelessly alongside you to get past them. I’ll push you to ask more from yourself, but also be there to support you through that process.
Let me be your partner in Crime Growth!
