Helping executives and business professionals succeed in marriage and personal relationships!
Have you ever wondered….
• How is it I can be so successful as an executive or leader and feel like a failure in my own home?
• Why do I have the respect of so many in my realm of work but lack the respect of those I love the most?
• Or…. I know I have a good marriage and family life but how do I balance it all with the demands of work?
As a small business owner and leader myself I understand the pressures to succeed and get ahead. Long hours and the ups and downs of business have added stress to my life and marriage at times. I have been married for over 30 years and know the joys and the struggles that are part of marriage. I also have had the privilege of helping many executives and couples transform the relationships they care most about.
Great marriages don’t just happen any more than your business can just run itself. You already have the skills as a leader to create strong and healthy relationships at home. The skill sets of today’s successful leaders include things like trust, transparency, dialogue, and adaptability. These are also fundamental to healthy marriage and family relationships.
My forward-looking coaching process will show you how to stop negative cycles and move your marriage and personal relationships to a higher level. As a BONUS, when you learn how to improve relationships at home you will also become an even more effective leader.

Executive Marriage Coach – Allow Love to Heal You
All of us have scars from past experiences that cause pain and conflicts in the present. Until we allow healing of the wounds from those things long ago hidden away they will continue to surface in one form or another; self-destructive behaviors, physical or emotional symptoms, or recurring patterns of conflict in your relationships. We seek various and sometimes desperate ways to heal and fulfill ourselves. The problem is we are not created to fulfill ourselves. Nor are we created to find fulfillment, deep-down fulfillment that our souls long for, in our relationships.

Dynamic Marriage - The Perfect Valentines Day Gift
Are you at a loss about what to give your wife for Valentines Day? What can you give your man that will make a big impact on him? The answers lie in understanding what your spouse really wants and needs from you. Let me give you some ideas. We all have common human needs but our priorities are different. What communicates “I love you” varies from person to person and is often different for each gender. The key is giving not as you would like to receive, but giving as the one you love likes to receive. That requires paying attention.

Executive Marriage Coach – Top 10 Things Learned In My 35 Year Marriage
My wife and I recently celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. As I reflected on this I decided to share my list of the top ten things I have learned in 35 years, in no particular order. 1. We’ve had to grow-up together. We all bring our unfinished business with us into marriage and it is these developmental issues that create the most problems. In our case we got married young and that makes it even more obvious and important to grow up. When we have been honest with ourselves and worked on our own maturity, then our relationship has also grown.

The Road of Recovery
The road of recovery is not the same as the path of despair. Many, perhaps most people fear allowing themselves to feel their darker feelings because they remember times of being overwhelmed or crushed by them. Consequently most of us find creative, elaborate, or self-destructive ways to avoid being in touch with our painful memories and feelings.

***The Path of Mastery – Article 4
We all know that we live in a time that is fast paced and things seem to be constantly changing. Today’s economy requires adaptability and the willingness to continuously learn and change course. Most young people entering the work-force do not expect to stay in one job with one company or even in one career track very long. The norm is to be looking for ways to make changes every 2-3 years as the way to advance. Given that, one might ask if the idea of mastery is relevant or

***The Path of Mastery – Article 3
Some people really struggle with the task of defining their purpose and finding their vocational path. Not everyone has a sense of calling for one specific profession or has the clear sense of what they were born to do. Many times, these are people with multiple talents and interests who have the ability to be successful in several different areas. It is possible to get hung up on the idea that there is one specific career path or one specific purpose you need to express thro

***The Path of Mastery – Article 2
To become a master requires first and foremost to find the path that is right for you. It is the path of vocation, which is the expression of your purpose for being here. It is the work you feel you are meant to do. Finding this path is one of the most important, perhaps the most important discovery you can experience. The path of mastery represents a journey; your personal journey. Getting to mastery requires dedication, discipline, hard work and time. If you are going to m

***The Path of Mastery – Article 1
Mastery is a beautiful thing when you witness it or experience it. If you learn to recognize and appreciate it, mastery may appear from anywhere. Mastery goes beyond competence; it is the combined force of expertise, focus, and inner power that exceeds normal expectations. For sports fans, recall witnessing a great athlete who seems to will his entire team to rise above what appeared to be insurmountable obstacles and find a way to win.

***Leadership in Times of Fear
In 1933, in the midst of the great depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said these words during his inaugural address: I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This gre

***How Did We Get Into This Mess?
There are times in life when we get jolted out of our normal reality by events that seem harsh and hard to understand. Many times bad things appear to be random and there is no way to really know why they happen, such as the tragic death of a young person or someone near and dear to you. Sometimes, even in tragedy people find meaning and respond by trying to do something good in the world. There are other events that serve the purpose of waking us up so we pay attention to so

***Keep Your Broken Heart Open
I don’t understand, she said. I had a great trip being by myself experiencing the beauty of the gorgeous national park around me. I was not lonely and I felt very much in tune with nature and I felt happy. And then as I was driving home I was overcome by a deep sadness and I found myself weeping. It is a familiar sadness that comes and goes. I know some of the sadness is still about him, the man who broke up with me several months ago. I am still grieving that loss, even tho
