Profile

Professional summary

I am currently the CEO and President of a 30 year old wealth management firm with over $700m under management. My contract enables me to continue with limited new executive coaching. I continue to serve existing clients and organizations -- some have been clients for more than 10 years and counting.

Every since I became involved in strategic planning in the early 1980s, my focus has been on effectiveness and outcomes that matter. Hence my key coaching question: can I help this leader or executive become even more effective?

I focus on 4 main areas, based on the MESS many executives find themselves in today (triggered by "do more with less"): Multiply your opportunities; Extend your influence; Stretch in your weak areas; Strive beyond ‘impossible’.
