You are destined to make a greater impact than you are today, and this chaotic world needs your leadership. As a leader, more autonomy comes with a responsibility to help others find their way to shine. You become a role model of consistently breaking through self-doubt, not toward an inflated ego, but as a collaborative partner ready to share your experience with humility. You also become an active designer of a better experience for yourself and the people around you daily.

I am a trained coach in complex adaptive systems with decades of expertise in business, product, and technology strategy, organizational design and development, innovation at all scales, holistic design thinking, and Lean management.

• Does your executive work tend to feel more like administration and stewardship than it feels creative and enriching? 
• Do you have more of your authentic self and potential to bring to your leadership than your current situation allows?
• Do you feel there's a deeper meaning in the work you do than the work that's in front of you? Do you want to actualize that meaning?
• Do you want to challenge the organizational and industry constructs around you to make something better? 
• Would you like to make a step change in your self-management to achieve your impact while living a happy life overall?
• Would you like the safety of talking to a coach who sees himself not as an unassailable expert but as a fellow journeyperson?
• Do you want to talk with someone who deeply appreciates and continues doing their own work of anti-oppression, decolonization, spiritual healing, neurodivergent reclamation, and more? 

If you answered YES to any of these questions, let's talk today about how I can support you.

Over the last two decades, I've worked with dozens of executive leaders in over 60 enterprises across five continents through major transformations of their businesses, products, organizations, and themselves. Together, we developed strategies, implemented tactics, and gave them the feedback they needed to fulfill their potential as individuals and leaders in their companies and communities.

Through living abroad and other travel, I quickly became mindful of the impacts of cultural imperialism. I tuned into the principle that there is no one right way to do anything. In each place, I learned to appreciate the tensions between what they were trying to achieve and how the prevailing cultures of the people, their organizations, and geography might offer opposing or supporting forces. This led to both co-design and co-influence: we made things together, and we learned how to accommodate new information into our respective models of the world. 

While the pretext of most of this work was often around a corporate transformation of some kind—technological, Agile, Lean, digital, product, customer experience—there was always one thing in common:

The bravest people—willing to persistently ask and seek answers to existential questions of themselves in balance with taking tangible action, iteratively building their enabling systems, and holding themselves accountable for results AND continuous discovery—were the ones most likely to succeed.

This attitude is at the core of what I call Adaptive Actualization, a methodology for living authentically while reaching our greatest potential. It means: 

• Becoming more sensitive to the signals in ourselves and the world that could impact our future
• Deconstructing old frames of thinking and exploring new ones that can shape the options and potential we see in front of us 
• Shaping our focus to ensure that the intentions and actions we set to take are in balance between our individual and collective needs
• Making strides through deliberate practice and making things that amplify our talents and passions and persist our presence
• Finding our spirit in new places, remembering that we are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings having a spiritual experience

From this methodology, I've created an Everyday Actualization Strategy, a five-phase adaptive cycle with specific strategies and tactics that I offer as a sensible default when looking for a way to actualize better. As there is no one right away, I continue to welcome the experience of co-design and co-influence. 

I've designed my community, coaching, and consulting around this premise. Its simplest expression means creating a flywheel for a joyful world.
