Evergreen Coaching & Consulting
Coaching is all about improvement, but identifying the best areas to improve is crucial for true success. I am not interested in the latest program or fad business model. What I look for and help develop in others is time proven wisdom of how to be a purposeful contributor. What I offer isn’t new or flashy, it’s been here the whole time. It’s Evergreen.
Welcome
I help better the lives of individuals and teams by clarifying their true goals and setting a cadence of accountability that ensures success. I have worked with too many people over the last 23 years to know that what they say they want isn’t always what they prioritize or practice. Coaching helps reveal this truth and solve for it.
I am a coach with 23 years of people and organizational work. There is no business or team without people. And people have people issues that often hamper business success. Identifying and solving for these issues not only improves the business, but helps the people be healthier. Healthy people tend to build healthy businesses.
It can be challenging to put a value on things like: peace of mind, alignment, understanding, success, health, pride, and gratitude. But most people report that these states of mind are priceless. When we do the right work that is in front of us and we do it with tenacity and conviction, these rewards are inevitable. Engaged, consistent, and benchmarked coaching will bring confidence, cohesion, and sense of purpose at work and home.

You’ll receive expert advice and tailored solutions to address specific issues for yourself, your team, or your organization through an effective one-on-one process to ensure long-term growth and success
Discover
Einstein is quoted as having said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.” The discovery phase of my coaching work takes a similar approach. I want to be certain that the foundation that we are going to build on is solid and grounded. Thoroughly understanding the client and what makes them come alive is essential for accurate and resonating goals that achieve their definition of success. During the discovery phase we will determine what the real problem is and/or what improvements will bring the greatest return.
This is a collaborative step that usually entails a 360’ review for partnerships and teams. For individuals it starts with a deep dive value clarification to get the most accurate information about the past, present, and imagined future. Getting absolute clarity on what people really want and why they’ve done what they’ve done up until this point, gives us the destination to work towards and awareness of likely pitfalls.
Define
Once we have a clear picture of what has been happening and/or where you want to go we build the plan. During this phase we decide what the best course of action is to get the desired results. We will determine services, exercises, mode of accountability, metrics of accountability, and the appropriate cadence for all of it.
Do
The change begins. We follow the plan and regularly evaluate progress with benchmarks along the way. Change is often difficult and uncomfortable, but everyone knows that growth and progress almost always require us to push ourselves outside our comfort zones. Doing the right work feels good even when it’s hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help teams get along better?
Although each team is unique, most problems have the same roots. In order for a team to reach its potential they will need to have clarity in the company’s vision, comprehension of their specific role in that vision, trust for their team members, and accountability for all of it. Teaching effective communication, productive conflict resolution, and wise decision making usually absolves mistrust and allows teammates to sync up in their respective roles. People like to be heard and understood, but that doesn’t always mean that they have the wisest approach. Interactive discussions allow us to hear one another and select the path that best aligns with the agreed upon vision.
How do you help business owners determine what they really want out of their business?
It starts with confirming what the business owner values most in life. Truly understanding what brings them purpose, peace, and contentment is vital to creating a business that works for them. Once they are clear on what matters most to them, they have a blueprint to work off of whether it’s building or restructuring their business.
What do you do to help business partners get on the same page?
When multiple partners are not on the same page we start off by solidifying the vision. By reviewing the vision we are able to determine where the gap is, and where there is conflict or misunderstanding. The steps that follow are dependent upon the partnership structure and unique traits of the client.
Do you address personal things when you work with clients or only business related topics?
My coaching approach prioritizes the health of the individual AND the health of the company. Every client is a business owner and a person, it’s impossible to divorce those two roles, so whenever there is a personal issue it’s likely to impact their business or how they manage their business. It’s imperative we are able to discuss an individual’s habits because they are very likely to show up in the work environment.
How big of teams do you typically work with?
It depends on the client’s needs. My work is most impactful when I’m working closely with the designated leadership team, helping them develop skills which they, in turn, integrate throughout the whole organization. This can be for a small or large organization.
Is there a standard length of time you work with clients?
In general, yes. Although each contract is unique to the client’s needs, I find it most helpful to work on a 12 to 18 month agreement. Change takes time.
Do you work virtually?
Yes. When possible, however, it is very valuable to meet face to face.
