As an ICF Professional Ian is a trusted partner supporting clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. This ongoing process often unlocks previously untapped resources of imagination, productivity, and leadership. Ian’s goal is to evoke greater personal and professional awareness, learning, and growth to co-create action that reshapes your life, profession, or organization around that learning.
Ian and Julie are passionate about the power transformational leadership coaching to move you beyond limiting beliefs and false assumptions that you may be unaware are holding you or your organization back in some way. We partner with you, whether an individual or a team, to transform insight (heart) and learning (head) into executive action (hand), while at the same time supporting your autonomy in the process. Much is expected of the you: to evaluate, reason, imagine, decide, and implement.
It is about you (the client) – your goals (individual or organizational) and your growth.
It is about learning – rather than teaching or advising. You are the expert on your life, profession, and organization. Ian facilitates your insight and learning by using tools and techniques such as active listening, powerful questioning, silence, metaphor or analogy, and proven assessments.
It is about action – your action. We partner with you to transform learning and insight into executable action, while promoting your autonomy. You may be surprised how quickly you or your team progress toward your goals.

Ian's approach is future and action-oriented for people who are basically clear of psychological and emotional issues.
It’s not mentoring or consulting. Mentors and consultants are experts in a particular field who seek to pass on their expertise to a person or organization. They provide knowledge, advice, and guidance, to people who are newer and junior, or who need to develop a specific technical expertise. With Ian as your partner, you set the agenda. Ian will use principles of self-discovery to motivate change from within you or your team. He will encourage you beyond what you might think you can do but you are in control. The responsibility to decide and to act is always yours.
Ian is trained to support you and your organization in this process. During a scheduled one-on-one conversation or team session Ian will:
