“From software engineer to master coach: How following inner wisdom transformed my life and now guides leaders to their true purpose.”
After 15+ years as a software development manager, I thought I had it figured out. But something was missing: there was that nagging sense that there had to be more. Sound familiar?
That restlessness and several repetitive stress injuries led me on a journey that led me to my passion for coaching. I discovered along the way that our own inner wisdom holds answers we can't figure out using intellect alone.
Now, as a Master Certified Coach with over 20 years of experience, I help successful leaders who feel that same "something's missing." They might be facing a major transition, contemplating a career change, or feeling called to something greater but unsure how to find it.
What makes my approach different? I bridge the analytical and the intuitive. I still love solving puzzles as I did in my engineering days, but I've learned that finding your purpose isn't a logic problem. It's a listening problem. Since 1975, I've been practicing that kind of deep listening through presence-based inquiry and inner work.
I'm co-authoring the updated 2nd edition of True Purpose with Tim Kelley, and I train coaches in the True Purpose® methodology. I'm also a Certified True Purpose® Coach and Consultant and founder of Clear Change Group.
As a young child I loved astronomy and wondered about the universe's mysteries. Now I help people navigate their own cosmic questions: Why am I here? What am I meant to do? And the most important discovery is that the answers are already inside you.
