I help coaches and leaders close a gap almost no one talks about: the difference between being trained and being professionally effective. After decades working with senior leaders and developing coaches, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat—well-intentioned coaches overloaded with tools and certifications, yet underprepared to design for real-world complexity, accountability, and ethical impact. The result isn’t bad coaching; it’s stalled progress, frustrated clients, and quiet burnout. I’m currently leading The Practitioner’s Edge™, a professional formation program for coaches who want to practice at a higher level—without chasing more certifications, spending a fortune, or stepping away from their work. The program focuses on judgment, systems thinking, language-in-action, and ethical design rather than techniques or quick fixes. On a podcast, I’m best suited for conversations about: Why certification doesn’t equal capability The hidden reasons coaching often “works” in-session but not in life Professional maturity, ethics, and power in coaching How coaches can build sustainable, high-integrity practices without hype What actually increases client retention (and why most coaches miss it) I don’t promise hacks or guaranteed outcomes. I offer grounded perspectives, hard-earned insights, and practical ways to think differently about coaching as a profession. If your audience includes coaches, leaders, or practitioners questioning how the field has evolved—and where it’s fallen short—I’d welcome the conversation.
