34 yrs Coaching Ambitious
(and sometimes messy) Humans
Last Updated: September 19, 2024
Thanks for dropping in for a visit. Here’s a quick update on what I’m up to after completing my childhood dream to sail around the world.
Having had some time to reflect… I spent the first twenty years of my career as a performance coach, guiding elite athletes and other coaches to greatness. From the outside, it seemed glamorous—working with top performers and striving for excellence.

I’m told I clean up well (compliment?)
But behind the scenes, I felt isolated, burnt out, and overwhelmed. There was no space for me to share the struggles and uncertainties that came with my work and lifestyle.
This wasn’t just my story—many coaches I knew faced the same. We were all giving so much to others, with no support system.
About a decade ago, as I transitioned to coaching entrepreneurs and changemakers, I saw the same patterns emerging. Here was a group of inspiring people, passionate about their mission, but carrying the weight alone. Their work is vital, yet the same isolation and burnout I had experienced was holding them back from the impact they were capable of.
Returning from my sailing adventure having experienced the power of human connection between a diverse and seemingly random group of people, I knew it was time to do something more than return to strictly one-on-one coaching. I wanted to replicate the magic I've experienced leading a sailing crew and being part of powerful peer-to-peer communities.
So, what might that look like?
I see it as building engaged communities that I’m inspired to nurture and participate in where I can offer my coaching skills to help those looking for extra support.
I’ve created a page to profile the communities where you’ll find me hanging out.
