Coaching Powerful Leaders
I help CEOs and high-impact leaders have the clarity, confidence, tools, and health required to lead powerfully and create the lives and businesses they dream about.
Why Coaching?
The most accomplished leaders, executives, and athletes understand that coaching is essential for breaking through barriers, closing skill gaps, and achieving peak performance. They see coaching as the key to unlocking the success they envision and creating the life they want.
Everyone faces challenges that can obscure our goals, shake our confidence, or stall progress. Whether it's navigating complex decisions, overcoming self-doubt, battling imposter syndrome, or enhancing leadership skills, these obstacles can widen the gap between where we are and where we aspire to be.
As your coach, my role is to uncover the root causes of these challenges. I'll challenge your thinking, pose bold questions to expand your perspective, and together, we'll craft a strategic plan to not only overcome these hurdles but to soar past them. This process is for those ready to embrace the hard work required to unlock their full potential, setting a course for not just achieving but exceeding their goals.
Why Me?
I've walked the path you're on—I’ve led venture-backed companies as a founder and CEO, helped scale startups from the executive suite, and guided large teams at a publicly traded company. My journey has taken me through the highs of success and the lows of failure, all while carrying the immense weight of employee livelihoods and investor expectations.
In my personal life, I’ve overcome a life threatening bike accident, lost over 50 pounds, and achieved All World Athlete honors in Ironman triathlon, ranking in the top 7% of my age group globally.
I'm committed to personal growth every day, striving to be the best husband, father, leader, and individual I can be. My commitment to improvement isn't just talk; I regularly work with coaches to enhance my performance across all facets of life—be it in the boardroom, on the race course, or at home.
Here's the game-changing truth that has shaped my approach: achieving remarkable business success and leading a fulfilling personal life are not mutually exclusive. They can—and should—complement each other. Working together, we'll embark on a transformative journey to redefine your approach to leadership and to sculpt the life and career you've always envisioned.
“Ken has just the right mix of qualities that every great coach needs— humility, intelligence, EQ, relationship building, and experience. I’ve worked with other coaches before, and Ken has made me a fan for life.”
“Ken is one of the best I’ve met at understanding people and helping them become more impactful leaders. He has amazing EQ and a unique ability to navigate through tricky situations with compassion and skill.”
