When I started my career 30 years ago, I saw my contribution primarily in my ability to create products, convince buyers, and generate revenue. Driven by my youth, I started a company in California, sold bicycle levers internationally, led a major marketing project for a media company, and founded a B2B consulting firm. Years later, I realized that I was most motivated by the energy of the people I worked with, that my focus was on people, not products. I discovered that I had interpersonal skills and situational awareness that I could put to good use. For the past 15 years, this is what I have been doing as an Executive Coach, with a passion that is constantly renewed by the diversity and the feeling of contributing to the development and fulfillment of the people and organizations I coach.
