Introduction: A Coach’s Journey

I’m a coach. Not an athletic coach—I coach leaders in business, government, and education. And I love it. Why?

  • Ericsson
  • TE Connectivity
  • Laird Connectivity
  • Hewlett-Packard

  • Marriott

  • John Deere
  • Sabre
  • Baxter
  • Amgen
  • Eli Lilly
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Nike
  • HSBC
  • OCBC Bank
  • Bank of Islam
  • US Department of Defense
  • US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard
