As an executive coach I am committed to the success of a limited number of clients all of whom work with me personally. They are effective and talented leaders and professionals who believe that I truly understand the new leadership issues and challenges they are dealing with because of my own experience and they deeply value the insights and action plans I help them create. We establish measurable outcomes and whenever possible estimate the value of achieving the client’s goals.
Clients come to me because they want a secure space to test their ideas and have their assumptions challenged. They know that coaching is a guide to the realization of exciting new possibilities for themselves and their organizations.
Unlike many coaches today, I bring to my clients an unusually broad range of real-world professional experience: in corporate law at the highest level, as EVP of two major financial institutions, as a university president, in government as an SEC Commissioner and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary, and as chair and board member of many large nonprofits.
