Optimize Your Life

Optimize my Life? What the gamma-beta-pi does that mean? Allow me to explain. As engineers well know, everything is a system. Actually, everything is a system of systems …of systems…of … I think you get the point. And what do we do with systems? We OPTIMIZE them! If we are lucky, our system in question exists in a perfect vacuum in space, one in which once we optimize it, we’re done! However, here are two very important facts:

1. Your Life is a system - a complex one.
2. It does not exist in a perfect vacuum.

There are just a few external factors that affect our systems like say, oh – Money, Family, Health, Career, Stress. The neighbor’s incessantly barking dog who keeps you up all night and who you’d like to <censored>bleeeeeeeeep</censored>?  (did someone mention Stress?) As time goes on, changing environments require a system to be repeatedly optimized. Because time and change are pretty much the only things in life we can count on, we can easily conclude that:

Our lives are in constant need of optimization.

As a certified coach with >15 years of engineering experience along with a passion and successful track record for helping others optimize their lives, I can help you. Together, we will use scientifically proven methods to look deeper into what’s really going on by studying the classic chain reaction of life: circumstances -> thoughts -> emotions -> actions -> results. We’ll discuss ways to take control over this process to produce the results you really want. This process can happen in person, via email, via phone, or any combination of the three. A critical fact to note is that I don’t tell you what to do. Only one person knows what you should do, and I think you can guess that person is you. My job is to ask challenging questions, help you analyze things from a different perspective, work with you to discover what limiting thoughts are holding you back, assign you personalized “homework” (exercises and practical implementation strategies to work on between sessions), hold you accountable, and most importantly, teach you the tools that you will use for the rest of your life to coach yourself through any situation. Since engineers are the biggest DIY-ers in history, and since we just cannot resist the chance to tackle a problem, you will undoubtedly become a great self-coacher.

Coaching Investment
Who doesn’t want to be the happiest they can be? The healthiest they can be? The best husband, father, mother, brother, sister, son, uncle, cousin…? You are the only person you are guaranteed to be with for the rest of your life (and beyond), so it’s probably a good idea if you get to know and, heck, even like yourself. Hiring a coach is one of the best investments you will ever make.

My Guarantee
I am confident in and passionate about the power of this work. As such, I completely stand by my coaching. If you are an active participant and engage in the “homework”, but are unsatisfied after 1 month, I will quickly and easily refund your money.

One on One Coaching
These private, confidential sessions are conducted via email, phone, in person, or any combination of the three. I take on a limited number of simultaneous individual clients to ensure maximum attention and focus on you. As such, I sometimes have a waiting list. The first step for One on One coaching is to schedule a no-cost, 15-30 minute consultation. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other, chat about your circumstances and goals, and determine if we are a good fit.
