The Founder
Fortune 100 Production Leader · Certified Coach · MBA
In live television and radio there is no room for error. No black on air. No dead air on radio. When something goes wrong everyone wants to know why, and the answer has to be airtight. A root cause analysis is done every time. You find the problem, you fix it, and you build a system, so it doesn't happen again.
That was the standard I built my career around. Two decades in high-stakes production. Fortune 100 companies. Television. Radio. I gave it all.
When the news show was canceled and the department closed I was standing there holding years of everything I gave. Days without eating. Nights without sleeping. Every decision made in service of a perfect delivery. And the work was simply over. The company continued. And I was left wondering what exactly was the "perfection" I had been chasing all these years.
Perfection is exhausting. Excellence is sustainable.
I went back to school. Switched careers. Finished an MBA. Did everything the corporate career path said to do. Joined a new team. A business school professor who had become a coach reached out. I joined her executive coaching program. It was the first time I experienced coaching as a career positioning tool. Something shifted.
That led to an internal search for a mentor that landed, essentially by chance, on the person leading the Enterprise Coaching Certification program inside my organization. He invited me to join in. I graduated as an Enterprise Coach. And something that had always been in me, the mentoring, the knowledge sharing, the passion about continuous improvement, the commitment to help people and teams grow and succeed, finally had a structure around it.
What I learned is that tenacity steered in the wrong direction just costs you too much. The right structure has the capacity to improve your quality of life. That is the work I did, and now I'm on a mission to reach millions of high-achievers to help them protect their life, energy and legacy without sacrificing their excellence.
The work in practice
A client who felt crushed by his own clients, constantly playing catch up, unable to close deals, unable to price his own work, and losing money, left each session with the tools to manage difficult client personalities, price his work with confidence, negotiate when money was being withheld, and build a business that generated the life he was working toward. That is the Energy Architecture framework at work. Not just a shift in mindset. A breakthrough that changes lives.
