Start a conversation

If your sentence is “I am thinking of selling the company” or “I need to restructure the board,” that is a strategy question and there are good advisors for it. What I work on is the person who has to make that call, and the thing that keeps them not making it. If you are not sure which yours is, write to me and I will tell you honestly.

The shape

50 minutes · weekly · video

The room

The work between sessions is yours; a direct line to Greg is open when something real comes up.

Four months, then month to month

The commitment

The first four months are a commitment. Structure doesn't move in three weeks.

Ongoing · stop any time

The season

Some clients build for a season; some keep a standing room for years. Month to month, on your terms.

Re-take the assessment

Growth in your actual week

We look for change where it counts: the conversation that finally happens, the work you stop taking back. Assessments, when we use them, are a point of reflection, not a scoreboard.

The path in
  1. Free · thirty minutes The conversation Half an hour on what you are carrying, what it is costing, and what to build first.
  2. Session one Where you are Named together, with a developmental assessment when it helps.
  3. Weekly · ongoing The work Only if the fit is right. Weekly, with practices for the week in between.
Who this is for

You know what everyone else needs, and rarely ask what you do.

  • Founders and executives You know what your team needs, what the business needs, what your family and friends need. It can be surprisingly hard to know what you need, and there are few places you are allowed to find out. This is one of them.
  • Artists and creative leads Growth here is not pressure for more output. It is the deeper work underneath the work, the part that lets creativity move freely again, in line with the artist you are and the name you are building.
  • Anyone mid-climb You want more time, more freedom, more resources, and a clearer sense of what it is all for, and you are not sure where to find them. Or you are leading a team toward excellence while asking more of yourself than anyone sees. Either way, the next level is asking for a bigger person, not a better calendar.
Who this isn't for
  • A louder alarm clock Accountability pressure works until it stops working. The work here builds the structure that makes the pressure unnecessary.
  • Something acute underneath Trauma, addiction, a marriage in freefall deserve a clinician. If that is what shows up, I will help you find the right person.
  • Growth guaranteed on a schedule Honest measurement is the whole point, which means no promising what an honest measure cannot deliver.
How we begin

The fit comes first.

We start with a free intro conversation about where you are and what you want to build. If it fits for both of us, we shape the work from there.

  • Shaped around you What we work on comes out of that first conversation, not a template.
  • Confidential from the start What you bring to the intro conversation, and to every session after it, stays between us.
  • A no is a fine ending Some conversations end with a recommendation instead of an engagement. If someone else would serve you better, I will tell you who.

"I wasn't sure if finding a life coach would be helpful or worth it. From the beginning Greg showed genuine interest in my life and shared tools that helped me grow to a healthier space. I already feel more alive, free, and capable of moving forward. I wish I had found Greg sooner."

Jordan2021

"I came looking to grow professionally and found far deeper growth. It opened my eyes to things I was living out of that were holding me back in every arena. My confidence is back, my purpose is clear, my goals have been achieved."

Questions
Who do you coach, and where?

Executives, founders and artists who are good at what they do and want to grow the capacity underneath it. I'm based in Los Angeles and work with clients here and online. Every engagement starts with a free intro conversation.

I've done therapy, coaching, the books. How is this different?

Most of what you've tried worked on your goals or your past. This works on the structure underneath both: four capacities that decide how much of what you already know shows up under pressure. That's why the work starts with understanding where you are instead of advice, and why nothing here is a program you finish. It's a map and a weekly practice.

Why a four-month start?

Because structure doesn't move in three weeks. Four months is enough to feel a capacity shift in the rooms where it matters, and to look back with something real to compare. After that, everything runs month to month and you can stop any time.

Is the assessment a personality test?

No. A personality profile tells you what you are. CORE takes a snapshot of where four capacities sit today, and capacities are built to change. It's a pilot assessment drawing on established research, and it is still being studied. We use it for reflection and conversation, not as a verdict.

How will I know it's working?

You'll feel it first in the rooms that used to shrink you. Then other people notice it: the conversation that used to wait a year happens in a week, and the decision stops waiting for cover.

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching. I work on capacity and follow-through; I don't diagnose or treat. I am not a licensed psychologist and don't practice as one. If what you need is a clinician, I'll say so, and I'm glad to work alongside one.

Is this confidential?

Yes. I treat your story with care and discretion. Coaching isn't clinical treatment, but I work with clear boundaries and high integrity around privacy.

Is this religious?

No. The four capacities are human ones, and the work is developmental. Clients span every worldview: founders, artists, executives, pastors, skeptics. Nothing in the work asks you to share Greg's convictions, and everything in it respects yours. The room is yours.

Start with a conversation. The rest follows from there.
