Profound leadership entails a cutting edge expression of personal wisdom in order to provide direction and inspiration to others. Leaders in all domains of society desire to capture the essence of their insight in order to instill motivation. Profound leaders want to evoke, and sometimes provoke.
Profound leadership lies beyond the need for enhancing skills and capacities. We’re talking about embodying a shape and style of your own Unique Self that takes up space, time, and form in order to significantly impact others and the world. Imbuing existence with the depth of your distinctive perception and energy requires an investment into empowering the truth for which you stand.
The Wayfinder will provide you with the most artful and sophisticated means to claim your next incarnation of profound leadership. With intelligence and creativity the following services will both hold and push your edges and your failures until you can manifest the new ground of your profound self.

Personal Consortium
In your position you might already have a team working for you, assisting you to create your best results. They may be very dedicated and capable of helping you maintain the scope of what you are working on. A Personal Consortium is not that style of team.
A Personal Consortium is devoted group of practitioners gathered and crafted for one purpose – making YOU happen. This is not a concierge, personal assistant, or support service. Based on what you need to move into the next echelon of your life I cohere the right group of practitioners for your success. As “your consortium” we meet regularly and cross-create a program of development and empowerment that you will never have experienced before. Imagine a group of professionals working together to continually ensure you are getting what you need to reach you edge and stand firm the new ground your are creating. This is the opulence and power of having your own Personal Consortium.
Your consortium may consist of any number of people within very specific roles. Two, five, twelve, twenty, the number of members and the scope of their roles all depends on what you want to accomplish. Nutritionists, psychologists, architects, artists, massage therapists, zen masters, entrepreneurs, counsellors, lawyers, yogis, web designers, acupuncturists, spiritual advisors, accountants, shamans, educators, philosophers, psychotherapists, athletic trainers, my rolodex is vast and its available for you – for your Personal Consortium.
While you will have contact with your entire consortium, all members work directly through me, and I facilitate the over-arching progress in your program. An estimated time length of program and use of each member will be determined once you and I establish the scope of your needs. An initial budget will be offered to you with rate-for-service variations provided.
Personal Consortiums are always established for a specific focus – a goal you want to achieve, a project you are working on, a state of being that you want to get to. Your progress with be constantly monitored and program adaptations made when necessary. As you reach success your Personal Consortium will gracefully fade into the background and you will be standing secure and stable on the ground of your Now.
Integrated Executive Coaching Program
The most radical and potent form of executive coaching available anywhere. This program is for leaders who want to step way beyond their comfort zone, into the unknown of their emergence. This innovative program integrates a Comprehensive Coaching Program with both peer appraisals and the Collaborative Witness program.
After we initially establish your desired goals I connect with several of your peers, including workmates, friends, and family. Gaining their viewpoint, feelings, and intuitions of your present way of being I weave that into the overall design of your program. You and I establish regular session meetings as in the Comprehensive Coaching Program, with two additional components.
One:: Randomly and periodically I will engage with one or more of your peers. Your peers are like my eyes and ears into your day to day progress. They will have a subjective assessment of you that will be very useful in shaping the scope of your program. Their perspectives will also help me comprehend how you are showing up in your real-life within the scope of your growth.
Two:: We will set up a time for me to come in and watch you in action. As an aspect of the Collaborative Witness program I may spend time with you at work, in meetings, at your home. Observing how you are in your life, with what you are working on, and the people you are with I will grasp the nuances of your challenges and your capacities.
All of this is constantly integrated together in your program, serving you broadest and deepest specialized personal curriculum for your success.
Be fore warned – the Integrated Executive Coaching Program will ask you to enter an unprecedented realm of vulnerability. Essentially you will be observed, supported, and challenged by myself and a handful of your peers that I stay in contact with.

Collaborative Witness
A unique opportunity to discover how much you “Walk Your Talk”. A Collaborative Witness session is composed of three parts.
One: An initial hour long meeting to discover what exactly you want to achieve yet are having challenges with. You obviously want to achieve something, yet are unable to do so thus far. We’ll discuss what that looks like and your experiences in attempting.
Two: We establish a set amount of time that I spend with you. Often this includes spending a day with you at work. If possible going to your meetings and appointments. Especially indicated would be times and occurrences that relate to your goal for success. I remain a silent witness, like another shadow following you around for the set time period.
Three: A 1.5 to 2 hour follow-up session to review what I witnessed in relation to your goals. We’ll discuss what was observed, insights and ideas, and we’ll create a plan for you to move forward. This may include designs for practices, suggestions for changes to try and others to work with, or a move into a more Comprehensive Coaching Program. We will collaboratively come up with the next steps that will serve you in your goals.
The Collaborative Witness package can be a one-time event. We can also synthesize several sessions together. As well, a Collaborative Witness session can be integrated into a larger program such as the Comprehensive Coaching Program, the Condensed Coaching Program, the Integrated Executive Coaching Program, or even the Personal Consortium.

Cracking Your Code
Cracking Your Code
We all have a limit. Often we live, work, and play within the safe realms of that limit. That is a wise and healthy thing to do. Sometimes however, in order to touch into and taste what’s beyond we need to go beyond our limits, push ourselves to that next space, that next level of our lives.
Trouble is, we can get to the point that HOW we go about pushing our limits is actually not working for us any more. Even though we might turn up the volume, we end up using the same techniques over and over again. We might try to think out of the box to challenge ourselves, yet we still are seeing the box in a particular way – the way we always do. Just the fact that you believe you have to think out of the box IS the indicator that you are ready for more. Getting out of the box is just the starting point.
Cracking Your Code is a means to radically shift your current way of comprehension and creation. This 48h state experience is designed to crack the code of your regular way of knowing your limits. Based within the practices and rituals of shamanic and yogic ceremony this two-day process will heat you up to the point of discovering how you place limits on your limits. This process is not for the faint of heart, body, or mind. A thorough assessment and preparation process is necessary in order to participate. To potentiate the significance of your next move as a leader, with a style that swallows the box – you might want to crack your code.
