Hi, I’m EJ.  Leadership Strategist, Team + Individual Development Coach.

For over 20 years, my diverse background as a C-suite executive, live event producer + project management professional has given me extensive experience in helping others transform their work + life experiences by developing a foundational framework + expressing a greater sense of purpose and intentionality.

Deciding to become a Transformational Coach was the next natural career stepping stone for me. I love training and developing high-performing individuals and teams. Certified as a professional and personal coach, facilitator, + large-scale live event producer, our work together will be transformational.

I am a process-focused, filled with faith Believer. My service in the marketplace is purpose-driven. My unique strengths bring hope and renewed life to individuals and teams enthusiastically wanting to grow as high-performing leaders and world-class team builders.

How do you know there is a need for hope and renewed life?

What does it feel like when your professional or personal life needs better flow?

  • Is there a communication upgrade needed?

  • Is there an interpersonal organizational upgrade needed?

  • Does the company’s strategic purpose need to be overhauled to improve greater team alignment and performance?

  • Are you ready to challenge the self-sabotage you’re experiencing and uncover the larger mindset principles behind these actions?

  • Are you shying away from difficult conversations and believe you’re missing opportunities to connect with others on a more productive level?

  • Do you believe you need more structure to manifest your unique style of expression and change your environment?

  • Do you shriek at having to manage difficult emotions in the workplace?

Professionally and personally, a sacred scripture continually transforms and threads my life. I believe it always answers the ultimate burning question -- how can I be made whole to Live my Best Life Today? 

Today, I guide, train and mentor individuals and organizations on a similar search for wholeness but possibly looking at the wrong signpost.

Have you ever been there?

  • Have no clue how to identify your purpose or use your career path to express your unique style + strengths.

  • Need help finding the right tools and support systems to innovate + create growth solutions for your life?

    Need help staying on track with goals or projects.

  • Need help managing transition or change + connecting on a deep level personally or within a professional team environment.

  • Struggling with self-acceptance and developing a confident + clear sense of self.

  • A noticeable power gap prevents you from expressing the leader you are.

  • Feeling isolated. Not sure how to sync up with God’s plan for professional, personal and spiritual (holistic) peace.

I get you. Been there.

The still voice in my head kept asking, "EJ, why are you positioned there?”  “What adversity, wrong reasoning or emotional conflict is causing you to miss the fulfillment of your destiny?” "Have you looked at it this way?" 

You need to understand your present cause and effect cycles better to transform how everything fits together for the future!

Throughout my transformation journey, the lame parts of me have been awakened by two things: obeying the right voice and unlocking the creative decision-making power within me. That inner strength and renewed radar gave me the hope and life to use my tests as testimonies. I also gained greater insight into how to steward my talents, energy, and resources successfully.

I have relentlessly focused on the amazing transformational possibilities of people + society.

Like you, I missed the right path for a particular work or life goal many times and, quite frankly, completely messed up.  BUT, there were excellent lessons and discoveries even from those messes.

Your tests can produce testimonies in your life. I believe the hope and life of your vision of “what could be” will arise from the day-to-day challenges.

Are you putting your unique skills out there by living + creating your best life?

No matter where you are in your journey, TRANSFORMATION happens when you decide to OPEN YOUR DOOR TO SELF-DISCOVERY!

Working in various professional management roles, I look forward to sharing my vast knowledge in the marketplace with you.

I’ll guide you - ask the right questions to reveal your assumptions as we work co-actively along your journey.

My coaching programs provide blended reflection and preparation for what to do next. 

Here is a sampling of deeper awareness questions:

  • What’s missing? 

  • As an executive, what do you really want? 

  • What issues and negative cycles keep coming up?  

  • How will you begin to make accurate decisions for your work or life? 

  • What (One Big Thing) meaningful goal, change or project vision do you want to accomplish?

  • What will happen if you don’t get there? 

As a transformational coach, I won’t win the goal for you - it will always be your choice.

BUT I’ll definitely get you in the game. I’ll help you see your projected outcome. 

I can see your win.

Of course, everyone “gets stuck.”  Your organization may have plummeted in team-building excellence and overall morale. You may feel disconnected and removed from the passion of your life. 

But guess what? 

Since you’re here right now, reading this crossroads opportunity for transformation, something tells me you’re ready for a new mindset and a shiny new toolbox that will become your high-powered strategic Genius kit. Get in your proper zone!

Trained in the business + live event industry, I have coached many generations (ages 20 to 70) on the why, why not, what, what if, and how of achieving a more successful course of action for their workplace, careers + personal lives.

The gist is this: You’ve got something important to do. I’m here to help you see your life purpose, build and grow your career, explore a new role at work, expand your leadership skills and imagine a successful project event.

Through 1:1 and group sessions, online courses, team training, retreat sessions, speaking engagements, and more, I’ve helped brilliant, creative high-potential high performers LIKE YOU stand out in their professional + personal lives.

I specialize in speaking topics on ideas, concepts, and theories about:

  • The 5-Step DIG IN™ Integrative process

  • Stillness Time (Faith-based meditative soaking)

  • Mastering The Blended Self

  • Being Divinely Inspired in the Workplace

  • Creating your Unique Career from Passion

  • Godly Career Ambition versus Raw Ambition

  • Becoming a Powerful Communicator

  • You Are a World-Class Team Builder

  • Looking Glass Self: New Self
