Self-leadership Coaching

A personal coach is one of the most effective ways to support your development in life, relationships, and career.

As a coach, I offer powerful tools for self-development and self-leadership and a ongoing relationship in which to discover and dissolve the obstacles you face.

My clients routinely report that they develop greater clarity, greater self-acceptance and self-trust, more resilience, and more ease in their lives.

I've had a successful coaching practice for 7 years. My clients have included NASA and Hewlett Packard as well as several small business and many individuals.

I am a certified Integral Coach from New Ventures West (2002) and a certified Somatic Coach from Strozzi Institute (2005). I am also trained in Internal Family Systems therapy. My approach to coaching is a unique and powerful synthesis of these three methods.

I am currently on the faculty of New Ventures West where it is my honor to coach students in a year-long intensive coach-training program.  Presently, I am the Vice President of Leadership Programs for Integral Leadership LLC where my responsibilities include business development and the design and production of leadership development programs.

Prior to my career as a coach I worked in the software industry for 16 years holding management positions for 10 of those years in the areas of software process and quality, organizational development, and process consulting.

Since development happens in "biological time" (meaning not overnight), I typically structure coaching contracts in 3,6, 9, or 12-month durations depending on the depth of issue my clients want to work on.

For those who want to explore how coaching might help them, I offer one 2-hour coaching session for $250.

Here are what a few of my past clients have to say about working with me:

"The coaching conversations I had with Steve created new possibilities in my life that continue to unfold to this day. I was pleasantly surprised that instead of coaching me on the obvious (how to find work I like), he actually helped to broaden the context in which I was thinking about work, which was much more meaningful and helpful in achieving the goal. During coaching with Steve, I appreciated his insights, authenticity, and real compassion. I highly recommend him as a coach."

"I worked with Steve last year when I was going through a very difficult life transition. With great compassion and skill, Steve developed an integral coaching program, which eased my transition, and more importantly, set me on a new life course grounded in my true passions and interests. Through my work with Steve, I uncovered the habits and inner dialogues that kept me blocked as well as laid the groundwork for unlocking courage and inner strength. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a truly compassionate, caring, and intuitive coach!"

"When I met Steve, he was exactly what I needed - a guide to help me understand the lay of the land and to give me practical advice for navigating through it. Steve introduced me to new ways of thinking which I now use every day in my work and personal life. He was always focused on our work and very concerned for my well being. He was also a pleasure to get to know."
