How my past prepared me to make a difference today
Early in my career, I struggled with both a lack of confidence and imposter syndrome. Every day as an executive was a challenge, and I often found myself unsure of what to do next. These struggles took a toll on me, causing me to lose sleep and feel like I wasn’t living up to my expectations as a husband, father, friend, and as a leader. I don’t want you to experience the same underperformance.
Having worked with countless leaders from companies of all sizes, I’ve developed a proven plan to help you transform from underperforming to uncommon. With intention and commitment, you can double the positive impact in your life while halving the negative.

Performance Gap
The challenge you're facing is dilution, which results in a lack of focus and ultimately leads to underperformance. Even the most capable leaders can find it challenging to execute their strategies successfully. They often struggle to turn down seemingly promising ideas, causing them to miss out on the truly critical ones.
As the saying goes, "You can do anything you want, but you can't do everything you want."
Do you find yourself constantly caught up in the urgent task of fighting fires, which leaves you drained and exhausted?
Is your workload overwhelming, and there simply aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done that you need to do and want to do? This leaves you feeling hopeless and without direction.
Are you struggling to find clarity of purpose in your business and personal life?
Do you feel like your organization has reached its full potential and hit a ceiling?”

When I first became a manager...
Of a large facility 25 years ago, I struggled to spell the word “leadership.” I quickly learned that true leadership is rooted in a heart for others and a desire to develop oneself. As I climbed the corporate ladder, however, I neglected my own well-being, leading to weight gain, high blood pressure, strained relationships, and middling organizational performance. A pivotal moment came when I received an honest and emotional performance review that left me reeling. I knew I needed help, and thus began my journey of personal growth under the guidance of a coach.
Today, there is no greater reward than seeing underperforming and unfocused leaders transform into Uncommon leaders who bring out the best in their teams. I firmly believe that the key to unlocking this Uncommon potential lies in a commitment to personal growth. Unfortunately, too many leaders fail to prioritize this crucial aspect of their lives, leaving a gap in our world for leaders who can truly inspire and develop champions. My mission is to help close that gap, one leader, one team, and one organization at a time.
