As a high-level Executive, Founder or Entrepreneur, you are challenged every day to bring forth your most important leadership qualities: focus, insight and centerededness (Bain & Company study).
Managing capital and human resources, developing trustworthy relationships with subordinates that support effective delegation, having the discernment to effectively develop strategic direction and partnerships, not to mention the regular appearance of “Quadrant 1” (urgent + important) issues …. all of these and more depend upon your ability to bring your full internal capacities to constantly changing conditions.
Your most essential resource every day is a mind that is stable, focused, clear, context-aware, and emotionally intelligent.
For three decades I have held Executive positions while developing Zen Mind with powerful protocols adapted from the 1,500 year tradition of Zen Meditation. I’ve raised millions of dollars for startups (co-founding three), sat in the CEO chair, deployed capital, hired, fired, pivoted, and re-pivoted. While I’ve made many good decisions and had plenty of success, I’ve also fumbled the ball, burned myself out and re-charged more times than I can count.
I have coached scores of Executives, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs on a path of developing Zen Mind for Work.
Bringing your Zen Mind to your leadership role will revolutionize your professional functioning every day. As your Executive Zen Coach, I will be by your side every week, leading you in development of your Zen Mind, and helping you deploy it in your immediate business. Our work begins on the first day, and the sky is the limit.
I’ll help you work with essential currencies: the material currencies of money and teams; the mental currencies of information and ideas; the energetic currencies of feeling and power.
As a Zen Teacher as well as Executive Coach, I’ll help you bring the qualities of Zen Mind to all the passages, transitions and growth phases that are alive in your life. Ultimately, you can’t separate your “work self” from your “personal self” from your “relational self”, nor should you want to. You want to be so centered in your true self that you can shift into and out of your various roles with ease.
I will develop a personalized program for you that will help you align your body-heart-mind energies with your professional work-in-the-world and your closest relationships. You will turn feelings of chaos, uncertainty, stress and disconnection into allies, and transform persistent conditions of anxiety, overwhelm, distraction, reactivity and burnout into motivation and clarity.
I am not going to tell you to go off on a weeklong retreat to calm your mind (actually, I may recommend that at some point), but from day one I’ll show you how to develop your Zen Mind right in the midst of your daily work.
I invite you to sign up for a free Discovery session with me to explore the ways I can help you align, empower and thrive.
My one-on-one coaching work is based on thousands of sessions with teachers, mentors, clients and students over the last two decades. Every session yields what one client called “compounding relief and empowerment” by addressing all aspects of work and life in a fully integrated way.
