Accelerate Your Entrepreneurial Success!

I work with entrepreneurs who want to create more freedom and time for themselves, their relationships, and their health, while positioning their company to accelerate results and win Government contracts.

I help my clients gain an outside perspective, address personal and professional challenges, strengthen their Mental Fitness and that of their teams, while creating the high performance culture needed to excel in the federal space.

As a transformational coach, I bring the experience of a 38 year career working for the U.S. Navy as both a Naval officer and a civil servant, mostly in the areas of contracting and small business. I retired as the Director of the Office of Small Business Programs for the Department of the Navy, as a member of the Senior Executive Service.

Now, an entrepreneur myself, I’m even more aware of the importance of mindset in leading a successful business. A high performing business must have the right foundation to excel in the federal space. A business is only as strong as its people and it starts with leadership.

By focusing just 2% of your/your employees’ time each week, you can build the Mental Fitness of your business or team, create the high performing culture you need, and get the results you want in a way that brings deep fulfillment to you and your employees.

Mental Fitness (PQ)

Only 20% of teams ever achieve 80% of their potential.

Is your team one of the 20% of High Performers, or one of the 80% that is settling for less?

If your team is struggling with:

  • Lack of trust.
  • Lack of transparency and collaboration.
  • Lack of buy-in on an cohesive purpose.
  • Lack of engagement.
  • Lack of focus on top priorities.
  • Lack of accountability. 

The source of these problems is NOT a lack of training. It is a lack of “Mental Fitness,” the ability to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Most training creates short-lived positivity that fizzles out soon after the event. However breakthroughs in neuroscience and behavior management have revealed a proven process for bringing out the best in people consistently and bringing that increased resilience to their teams and their work.

 

You CAN create a team culture with:

  • Lower stress and higher fulfillment.
  • Higher retention of the best people.
  • Laser-like focus on the most important projects.
  • Increased sales and client satisfaction.
  • Improved relationships, trust, and collaboration.
  • Increase employee engagement and enthusiasm.

Measuring Mental Fitness

Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur).

This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient).

Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential.

Breakthrough Results of Boosting PQ

Performance:
You perform better while working less hard—similar to athletes “in the zone.”

Happiness:
You feel less stressed, more peace, and consistent happiness, even in tough times.

Relationships:
You improve relationships, able to handle conflicts in ways that deepen trust and harmony.
