The Philosophy

Passion, purpose, and meaning is what sparks action. Build that within yourself, and you will move mountains.

​

Building confidence, either in yourself or others, is not accidental. It requires consistent action and accountability to accomplish goals, establish credibility, and pursue greatness.

​

Many people are unhappy in their personal or professional lives because they've lost sight of their purpose. Their focus has become external. Quotas. Expectations. Deadlines. What about being heard and respected? If you want to perform at a higher level, you must reconnect with your passion and purpose (in work AND in life).

In-person and Virtual Coaching

1-1 Focused attention and support.

Not just life coaching, but coaching for life. It's easy for executives and leaders to become so caught up with their own pressures and responsibilities that they are unable to take the time to truly connect with their team.

​

Through individual coaching, professionals enjoy shifts in mindset and perspective that allow them to better organize their priorities for the maximum productivity and happiness.

Immediately after James spent a day of management coaching to the team here at Pivot.com, I witnessed an uptick in staff enthusiasm coupled with clarity in their communication with each other.
