Two people walking together through coastal grass on an overcast morning

I work with only a handful of partners at a time - around 8 - so I can give each one my full focus and make room for real transformation, not quick fixes.

There's no standard program. The work takes its shape from who shows up and what is present.

The only standard is my commitment: to serve each person as deeply as I can. They leave clearer about who they are than when they arrived.

the kenshō hike

My signature outdoor experience.

  • 1:1 Kenshō Hike

    in-person · SF Bay Area · 2-3 hours

    A powerful coaching session as we ascend a mountain together. Designed to unlock creative thinking, reduce stress, and reconnect you with a deeper part of yourself. You'll earn a beautiful view - of the Bay Area, and of yourself.

the partnership

For those ready to invest in the deep, sustained inner work that changes everything: how you lead, relate, and create. Think of it as having a dedicated thinking partner, performance specialist, and trusted confidant in your corner. Partnerships are offered by invitation - usually following a kenshō hike - and the investment is tailored to the transformation.

  • 1:1 Premium Coaching Partnership - Local

    in-person · SF Bay Area

    We meet 2-4x per month, depending on your needs. The in-person experience allows for a dimension of presence and connection that only happens when we're in the same space.

    by invitation only

    limited to 5 partners at a time

  • 1:1 Premium Coaching Partnership - Remote

    remote · Zoom

    A deep, rigorous, remote-first partnership that fits into your busy schedule. Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes each with unlimited access to me between sessions. A full in-person day in nature is encouraged to kick things off; partners fly in for it.

    by invitation only

    limited to 3 partners at a time

for leadership teams

High-impact engagements for teams where the status quo has stopped working, or who are ready to perform at a fundamentally higher level.

  • Team Alignment Intervention

    in-person · half or full day · travel fees included

    When the company grows faster than the team's ability to operate, everything seems to break at once - missed deadlines, decisions quietly unmade, meetings that feel like performances. I work directly with you and your team to surface the real issues and rebuild honest communication.

    Outcomes: Clarity on root cause, alignment on direction, and a communication reset.

    inquire

    Up to 4 in the room, no exceptions

  • Executive Peak Performance Workshops

    remote or in-person · 1-2 hours · travel fees included

    Designed for leadership teams who want to proactively perform at a higher level. We address the real operating system of a team: the communication patterns and unspoken rules that actually determine how you move together.

    Outcomes: Higher quality decisions, faster execution, and a shared language for feedback and collaboration.

    inquire

    Up to 12 in the room

To explore the possibility of working together, request an intro call - about an hour, on Zoom.

We get to know each other and talk about your needs in depth.

We might not be the right fit. But if we are, your life will never be the same - just as it wasn't for these leaders.

Confidentiality and discretion are always guaranteed, with NDAs signed on request.

wisdom tells me i am nothing
love tells me i am everything
between the two, my life flows.
