Work with Joy
Background

 In 2004, I was recognized by Secretary of State Colin Powell for leading a 198-day evacuation of 350 people for the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia. While it was a defining moment in my career, it also marked a profound turning point in my personal life as I navigated my divorce. Faced with life's big existential questions, I embarked on a decade-long journey of self-discovery that led me to coaching and to exploring a wide range of practices that deepened my own growth and self-awareness.

Today, those experiences continue to shape how I coach. I've come to believe that life's greatest challenges often become our greatest teachers, revealing strengths and possibilities we never knew we had. That transformative chapter helped me discover my own North Star and inspired a lifelong commitment to learning, exploring, and helping others reconnect with themselves and create new possibilities.
