Origin Story
"Clarity often feels like loss because it shows you what to let go of."
The breakthrough! The successful development or sudden advance. That a’ha! moment when a seemingly abstract puzzle becomes a clear picture.
We know we are capable of anything, yet breakthrough moments like these seem random and attainable only through relentless persistence.
And when they do happen, we feel relief to have found a way, and frustration that it took so long to know something we intuitively already knew.
At the high point of my career in media and technology, my life-altering breakthrough was set in motion after being air-lifted out of the Cascade Mountains with a life-threatening traumatic brain injury.
Recovery was a challenging experience, and presented hard questions about meaning, values, and purpose. I wrote about my reflections on the experience here.
The answer came into focus after immersive study of neural plasticity, self-determination theory, neurolinguistics, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive psychology.
To be a true partner in learning how to effectively approach the challenges that shape who we are, and want to become.
Adversity is simply a part of the human experience. The struggles and hardships – physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual, or emotional – are what teach us the most about ourselves and how to navigate life.
My values and passion for coaching are grounded in this idea.
How people might see difficult challenges in a new light could be helpful to those who frequently struggle or avoid the challenges in life only to miss an opportunity to better themselves and help others, and better understand what it is that holds each of us back from reaching our highest potential.
