Welcome to the Coach’s Playbook

Whether you're leading a global team, stepping into a new executive role, or preparing for your next big move, The Coach’s Playbook is your space to pause, reflect, and sharpen your edge.

I’ve spent over 30 years helping leaders navigate complex transitions, drive performance, and unlock their full potential. What I’ve learned—and what I’ll share here—is that success at the top isn’t just about having the right answers. It’s about asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and making decisions from a place of clarity, not chaos.

This blog will give you actionable insights drawn from coaching conversations, leadership development frameworks, wilderness retreats, and lessons forged through real-world experience. You can expect posts on:

- Transitioning into VP and C-Suite roles
- Developing executive presence and influence
- Coaching strategies that drive real behavioral change
- What nature can teach us about leadership under pressure
- And the occasional story from a duck blind or African safari that has everything to do with leading well

So, whether you're a client, colleague, or someone who's just trying to lead more effectively, I’m glad you're here.

Let’s get to work.
