Are You Ready To Reach Your Optimal Performance?

The best leaders are those who are making an impact in ALL areas of their lives.

Not just success at work, but also in their home.

These leaders know that true success is winning at both home and work.

These leaders also know they can’t do it alone.
 

 

 

 


 

 

Basically, we cheat ourselves of what could be.

With a coach, leaders unlock their potential and have the accountability and encouragement to make meaningful changes.
 

By ourselves, we have limiting beliefs.

We sell ourselves short. We think small.

We doubt.

These leaders include executives of multi-billion dollar companies to bootstrapping entrepreneurs.

​

Those same leaders also know that If we are not successful in both, then the wins don’t feel the same.

Join 180+ business leaders who have gone through my 1:1 or small group coaching and improved their impact at home and work.


Of course, that does not mean that they are perfect, no one is, but the best leaders are working to be intentional with how they show up at both home and work.

These leaders believe you can win in both the family room and the board room. It is not an either/or, but instead a both/and.

However, it’s hard.

I know, because I have been there.

 

But let's talk about you first. If you want more on my story, you can jump to it here

 

Is any of this currently you?

  • You are winning on the outside, but feel stretched too thin this season

  • You wonder if you are developing your team effectively and correctly

  • You have a great-looking family, yet everyone is disconnected

  • Your quiet time is suffering due to chaotic mornings

  • Your gym time is inconsistent due to work emails

  • You have too many demands on your time

  • You may have even lost your purpose

  • You are unsure of the next step

​


 

​

​

​

  • More peace and joy in your life

  • Feeling a better sense of control

  • Gaining momentum in all areas of your life

  • Experiencing freedom and not being tied to your calendar or email

  • ​You and your spouse are communicating better and going on dates

  • You are being intentional with your kids and the relationship is improving

  • Plus you are more intentional with your employees and they are inspired again at work

​

Basically... you want to live life to the fullest!

Do you want this in your future?

Every coaching experience is different. However, on average, we spend 60% of our time focused on your work, 20% on home, and the remaining 20% on mind.

 

Each coaching experience is tailored to your specific needs and the season of your life at the time.

My Story

Twelve years ago, I was VP of a $120M division and we were the largest profit contributor to the overall company. Thus I got a lot of attention from the Executive Team. This pressure caused me to focus the majority of my time on work. I started skipping the gym, my quiet time, hanging out with friends, and even time with the family.

I knew there had to be a better way. I hired an Executive Coach and it changed my life.

Yes, that sounds extreme, but it did change my life because that is what I now do for a living.

But it also changed my life, because I was able to zoom out and see that life was more than just a clean email inbox or a beautiful P&L. Yes, those items have their importance, but so was being a spouse, parent, friend, and leader.

As I was receiving coaching, I was sharing it with my direct reports. As they got better holistically and our company profitability improved, I knew I wanted to do this for a living.

So in 2016, I started to do coaching part-time. Over the course of a few years, thanks to God’s provision, was able to get it to a full-time job.

Since 2020, I have been coaching and speaking full-time. During that time, I have worked with 180+ leaders in 1:1 coaching or small group coaching settings to help them win at home and work.

During that time, I have worked with 180+ leaders in 1:1 coaching or small group coaching settings to help them win at home and work.

The below pricing is the financial investment that will provide an ROI in all areas of your life.

Why do clients stick around?

Because they see ROI in all areas of their life. 

Working with me, clients become more intentional spouses and parents, as well as better friends and more disciplined in working out and self-improvement.

 

All of which leads to them leading better at work. The ROI of this program is that you show up better in all areas of your life.

I was burnt out and unclear in my direction. Cory, quickly helped clarify my vision and also cut out the things that were depleting me. He has been a friend, mentor, and coach. I am a better husband, dad, and business owner because of the influence Cory has had on me. If you're on the fence, Cory is the real deal. He speaks with his actions and encourages with his words.
