Unlock your potential.
“No matter how well trained people are, few can sustain their best performance on their own. That’s where coaching comes in.”
Why coaching?
Whether your goals are professional, athletic, creative, or relationship-oriented, performers at the highest levels share one thing in common. They’re coached.
The reality of our human biology is that we evolved to survive within an ancient food chain, not thrive in today’s modern world. That means our brains are pre-set with outdated software to resist change, focus on problems instead of possibilities, choose comfort over growth, and react to pain from the past as though it were still happening today.
Luckily, there’s a way out. With me as your coach, you will increase motivation, see into blind spots, and learn how to hack your own programming to unlock your potential. Your competitors are doing it. Now it’s your turn.
My coaching principles.
No principle is more important than the coaching relationship. I bring an attitude of curiosity and respect and tailor our work to what’s most helpful to you. Although every coaching relationship is unique, some key principles guide my philosophy.
Neuroscience.
I worked in a neuroscience lab during college and to this day love geeking out on the latest research. As your coach, we will incorporate these developments to help you hack your brain’s default programming and write your own internal software.
Mindfulness.
Before neuroscience could study the brain from the outside, humanity accumulated centuries of wisdom by studying consciousness directly. This is the practice of mindfulness. As your coach, we will strengthen your mindfulness muscles and help you shape your experience from the inside.
Intuition & Imagination.
Have you ever had an “aha!” moment, where inspiration seemed to come from nowhere? It actually came from you - a part of you outside your conscious awareness in the right hemisphere of your brain. This part of you learns and creates at incredible speeds if you step out of its way and give it what it needs to shine. As your coach, we will incorporate intuition, imagination, and other right-brain processes to help you tap into your own treasure trove.
Mind/Body Connection.
Common Western thinking separates the mind and the body, assuming that the mind processes thought and the body processes energy. However, a growing body of research in neuroscience supports the notion that no aspect of our experience is purely mental or purely physical (Weiss et al, 2015). Our coaching will help you tap into your body/mind interface to accelerate your performance.
The Psychotherapy Bonus.
Most coaches out there aren’t also licensed psychotherapists. That’s a shame, because old beliefs and patterns that we needed to survive in the past are limiting our potential today. Our coaching will incorporate my training and experience as a psychotherapist to help you drop the baggage that’s slowing you down.
