Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react.

I've spent nearly four decades navigating turnarounds in athletics, ministry, and education.
MINISTRY LEADERS
For 13 years, I led an award-winning nonprofit with passion and purpose, until burnout brought me to my knees. But what broke me also refined me. By God’s grace, I learned to lead differently. Let me help you turn things around before the weight of the work takes you out.
EDUCATORS
I’ve taught in the wealthiest district in Kansas and behind prison walls. I’ve stood in front of students with every kind of challenge, lived the pressure your team carries, and earned a Teacher of the Year nomination in the process. Administrators, let me help you keep them grounded, motivated, and thriving.
COACHES & ATHLETES
As a former Division I athlete who experienced three devastating injuries, I learned a powerful truth: a shift in perspective can turn any loss into a significant win. Coaches, bring me in. My life-changing stories and direct involvement will transform your team's mindset and performance.
Leaders, Educators, and Coaches, Let Me Help You Turn Things Around.
How I Turn Things Around
Coach vs. Consultant: What’s the Difference?
A consultant is like a travel agent; they assess your needs, work with you to create a plan, and provide a map showing you where to go. Then, you and your team execute the plan.
A coach is like a tour guide; they assess your needs, create a plan, then journey with you to help you navigate unexpected detours, and encourage you when you’re stuck.
I do both — depending on what you need.
My Approach...
Another dilemma. More drama. That "what am I gonna do now?" moment where you're left to figure it out alone, again. But not this time. I'm here to help you navigate this difficult situation and emerge stronger.
I'll listen, learn, and then leverage my experience to guide you to a resolution. One that leaves you standing strong, more prepared, and polished for the next challenge that's bound to hit.
Whether you're a ministry leader, educator, coach, or athlete, if you know something has to change but you're unsure where to start, let's figure this out together.
