I am a systems, cycles, strengths, and habits oriented coach, serving Entrepreneurial, Startup, and Small Business owners with a need to develop their decision making speed and certainty. I have a background in business systems analysis, risk management, and complex software systems development in heavily regulated financial industry, as part of zero to five year startup companies and fortune 500 large enterprises, and have participated in (and won some) pitch competitions.

I've been slowly building skills and starting over time, including Strengths based coaching, participating in and leading some leadership programs. As a strategic learner, I'm basically always adding tools to the tool belt. Also, since participating in a few rounds of layoffs, involvement in the startup community was my response, reliance on employment started to feel like a growing risk.
Then, when the COVID pandemic happened, and people chose to isolate and even shut down large parts of the global market, upending the commodities markets in a way that made them economically act more like luxuries, and resulting in massive loss of businesses and a huge shift in the consumer spending habits and markets - the "Red Alert" claxons started going off in my head. With more alerts clamoring when the 'replace workers with AI' phase began. In my view, we as a community need to find a way to get more, varied, decentralized, small businesses open and thriving. More people with viable income.
