Delivering High Performance & Leadership Transformation.

We look at the results you want to create. We look at what’s stopping you and together we will handle that for good.

High Performance = Potential – Interference

We reduce the interference and maximize your potential. Our coaching is focused on you. As you transform, the results you create become a natural expression of who you are being.

Our approach to coaching is transformative, and focused on your State of Mind and State of Being. We uncover your beliefs and assumptions, help you discover who you really are and what you really want.

You are the creator of your experience of life, both professionally and personally. You create it through thought. When you see how you are already doing this, everything changes for you.

Who Do I Work With?

I work with individuals and organizations. Sometimes, its an HR or L&D leader who reaches out for my support with their people. Sometimes, it’s an individual business leader wanting to expand their leadership potential and impact.

My clients play a variety of roles: They are corporate leaders, business owners, high performers, entrepreneurs and professionals. But they are also partners, parents, learners and improvisers in the game of life. Sometimes they are passionate, ambitious and driven. Sometimes they are insecure, scared, confused or alone. Sometimes they feel like they are worthy of all the success in the world. Sometimes they feel like imposters. They play so many roles in their lives – they wear so many labels, it is hard to classify. In our work together, there is no place for superficial labels. At their core, my clients are simply human beings.

The Difference Transformative Coaching Makes

"In every systematic inquiry where there are first principles, or causes, knowledge and science result from acquiring knowledge of these; It is clear, then, that in the science of nature as elsewhere, we should try first to determine questions about the first principles."

Aristotle

A First-Principles based approach:

There are two kinds of ‘Truths’. There are personal truths and then there are universal truths.

Personal truths are true for the individual based on their life experiences. These are interpretations of events and the meanings we give to our life experiences. Universal truths are true for everyone regardless of whether or not we are aware of them. These form the underlying mechanism for our life and our world.

Let’s indulge in a small metaphorical thought experiment: Look around where you are right now and notice what you’re seeing. As I’m writing this, I’m looking around and seeing the walls of my room, a table, curtains and the view of a hill outside my window. Now, it is ‘true’ that I’m actually seeing all of these. What is more true is that all I’m ever actually seeing is only light.

My personal truth in this situation is the specific things I’m seeing. The universal truth is that all of us are only ever seeing light.

Similarly, first-principles are a way of talking about and pointing to the fundamental universal truth behind the human experience. It is the same truth that is observed and pointed to through the ages in science, philosophy, psychology, religion and spirituality. These first principles or first causes are true in the sense that they are not merely individual or personal truths, but are universally true for all human beings. These are not a theory or model that offers a new perspective. Rather, they are fundamental axioms that offer a direct perception of what’s already true for us. This is possible through experiential/non-conceptual insight.

In short hand, the 3 fundamental self-evident principles behind every human being can be summarized into 3 statements: “We are alive”, “We are aware” and “We have the capacity to think and feel”. Everything else that we can talk about or experience in life can be explained from these three fundamental universal truths.

“As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”

Harrington Emerson

By understanding how these fundamental human capacities interact and influence our life, we can navigate it better. I often use this somewhat extreme metaphor with my clients to illustrate the point:

Let’s say they are on a video call with someone and they get really worked up and angry on the person they’re talking to. They get into a verbal fight which quickly escalates and they throw their fist at this person – only to realize that all they’ve done is broken their computer screen. If they truly recognize the fact that they’re only talking at a bunch of LED lights on a screen, they are probably not going to throw a fist in the first place. This effortless change in behavior is not a result of a technique or of discipline – this is a result of a deeper understanding of reality. This is what makes principles based transformative coaching extraordinarily impactful.

As you can probably tell, the work that I do is Bespoke. There is no pretense of a one-size-fits-all solution. I work with human beings, and every one of us face unique situations that are specific to where we are in our journey of life, within and outside organizations. Yet, we all have universal truths that are playing out in our lives regardless of where we are in our journey of life. I have worked with individuals as young as 21 and as old as 59 – ordinary human beings who understand that being human is in itself surprisingly extraordinary.
