I call the way I work Taoist coaching because my style is based on the Taoist principle of seeing the unity in all things. It is about shifting away from a polarized either/or view to a full spectrum both/and view that can integrate all aspects of a situation as grist for the mill, even if some aspects seem daunting. Polarized thinking tends to contract the mind creating a sense of limitation, whereas full spectrum thinking tends to expand the mind, revealing a sense of potential. Learning to adopt this broader view can unleash a tremendous amount of creativity and you may find yourself seeing solutions to challenges in refreshing new ways rather than finding yourself overwhelmed.

I do not limit myself to a specific niche because the principles underlying my coaching style have a broad application to all arenas of life. Below are some of the areas where I have been of service:

• Career Transition
• Communication and Leadership Skills
• Work/Personal Life Balance
• Small Business Development
• Corporate Culture Design
• Stress Management
• Task Management
• Mid-life Reevaluation
• Medical Crisis
• Positive Parenting


From time to time I offer group teleconference classes in stress management, communication and leadership, and positive parenting for those of you who are not necessarily interested in one-on-one coaching. The classes are not offered on a regular basis. I simply gather contact information from folks who are interested, and when time allows, I schedule in the classes and notify anyone who has expressed interest. The classes differ from individual coaching by combining instruction with coaching.
