A Message from
For more than twenty-five years, I have helped CEOs and c-suite executives from startups to multi-billion dollar organizations unlock their maximum potential and performance to thrive.
As a CEO and C-suite leader of multiple organizations in a variety of industries, I deeply understand the excitement and challenges of CxO leadership.

I am executive coach & advisor and leadership strategist of THRIVE86400 a premier leadership solutions firm, equipping and empowering executives and leaders to achieve their unique best and thrive.
Several years ago, I discovered the secret to living your best life is achieved by relentlessly pursuing three core commitments. You must Live Confidently, Lead Courageously, and Love Completely.
Easier said than done...Yes!
That's why I have devoted my life to living these personally and have created a platform with unique experiences and programs where I'm able to equip and empower CEOs to achieve their unique best and thrive by living these three commitments, too.
HUMBLE GUIDE AND TRUSTED ADVISOR
I take my responsibility as your humble guide and trusted advisor very seriously.

As your trusted advisor, I...

» Believe models, techniques, and tools are means to the ultimate end of having a positive impact for my clients. They are useful if they add value.
» Believe that success and significance is linked to consistent quality experiences with my clients. I will pursue deep experiences and take personal risks with clients rather than avoid them.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
I believe you're either green and growing or ripe and rotting...there is no status quo. We are on a continual journey of personal and professional discovery and becoming all we were created to be.
