What is a Life Coach?
We all need a little help sometimes, especially when it comes to figuring out our life's journey.
Whether you are trying to establish a new goal or just want to find out your passion, it can be pretty tough to find out where to start and how we get to the there. That's where a life coach can help you.
A life coach is someone that can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, help you overcome obstacles tat are holding you back and guide you on this journey to achieving your goals.
So how what and how does a Life Coach do it?
Life Coaches are not Therapists. Just like Sports Coaches, they help an individual or team identify a goal and then develop a plan to achieve it. We take a look and focus on what is going on in your life right now, where you want to go and then come up with a plan to get you there.
Coaching is about helping people to identify the obstacles that are holding them back, what is resisting them to move forward, finding the motivation to take the next steps and then holding them accountable to achieving their goal.
- I will help you identify and/or expand an idea or goal
- Help you understand the present situation
- Help you see the path to realizing your goal from different perspectives. This in turn will open up new options and new mindsets.
- I will then guide you on your journey to achieving your goal.
It is not a Life Coach's role to give advice!
It is a common misconception that life coaches provide advice. On the contrary! A life coach will utilize the clients own inner wisdom/experiences and use the process of connecting these values to make action steps to achieving a set goal.
Coaching sessions will be very structured and provide accountability. These sessions can be very direct to surface what is holding the client back or identifying obstacles.
About Me
I was born in Germany in the late 60's but have been in the US since the early 80's. In the mid 80's I started my hospitality career as a bellman for Hilton Hotels. I moved quickly through the ranks of just about every position of a convention hotel. My career path included a twelve year tenure with Hilton, several years with other prominent hospitality companies.
In early 2002, I moved to Florida and opened a resort for the Europe's timeshare leader. My time in Florida include General Manager positions as well as Regional Director of Operations and VP of Operations for some very successful Hospitality companies. With these great experiences and a B.S. Degree in Human Resource Management, my teams consistently surpassed goals and expectations.
In 2016, I decided to expand my leadership skills and joined the John C. Maxwell Team and became a Certified Leadership Coach. Since then. I have followed my passion and teach leadership skills to 'up and coming' hospitality staff as well as seasoned professionals.
My coaching skills will help you identify your dreams and help you break through your barriers to achieve your potential.
Along with my hospitality background and coaching skills, I have also become a meditation teacher. The practice of meditation has helped me manage stress in my fast paced career and the current times we live in.
I would be delighted to speak with you on how I could help you define your dreams, build a road map to move towards them, and most important of all - ACHIEVE THEM.

Lunch and Learns
Team Coaching
All teams are groups but not all groups are teams.
A team is a group of individuals who are interdependent with respect to information, resources and skills, and who seek to refine their efforts to achieve a common goal. Team or Group coaching takes place over a time with frequency and regularity being key. It will require interaction and exchange between the participants and has a learning focus directed by the participants.
Lunch and Learns typically are designed for 10 or more participants. The training averages between 45-60 minutes and is packed with highly usable information in a fun learning environment. Our goal is to have each team member come away with at least one mind challenging idea that will spark a desire for self- improvement and increased productivity within your organization. While many individuals feel that leadership is just a gift that some have and some don’t, we define leadership, provide purposeful ways to grow and improve leadership skills, and begin to cultivate a mentality primed for improvement and growth. Once exposed to our training, ideas are unlocked and old, unproductive habits can be left behind
