Transitions aren’t endings— they’re invitations to become who you’ve always been.

Although a transition means something is ending, you’re not!

But it sure can feel that way if you try to fast-track or ignore the challenges and opportunities of creating transformation from transition. The hard part is letting go of what has been and resting in the not-knowing of the in-between until whatever’s next is ready to emerge.

If you are heading into or already in the midst of a transition, I can help you

  • Say goodbye to what was with integrity,

  • Move through the discomfort of not knowing without losing your way, and

  • Create a new way of being based on who you are now and have always been.

I sharpened my transformational abilities during the Great Recession by transforming my life from that of a common unemployed mid-50s male of the time, wondering what’s next, to living the life I now have but had only dreamed of.

After over forty years of outdoor guiding and instructing, a wide variety of specific life-coach training and experiences, and following my heart for seven decades, I’m ready to help you replace shoulds with coulds, break free of potential into possibilities, and take laser-focused action in pursuit of what fascinates and fires you up.

If you’re interested in embracing change and designing a meaningful next chapter, book a call now.

Testimonials

  • “When I began working with Steve, I wanted to understand what to do after retirement. After collaborating with Steve, I realized I had been asking the wrong question. Now the question I’m asking is, ‘Who do I want to be?’”

    H.Y. - Geneva, Switzerland

  • "Talking to an unbiased third party and reconnecting with my core values by identifying and refining them helped clarify what I want and don’t want, both now and in the future.”

    M.F. - Central Mexico

  • I'd been retired for almost a decade when I realized I still hadn’t figured out how to spend my time. I was overextended and resenting some volunteer commitments while also feeling like I wasn’t doing things I thought I should. Working with Steve helped me sort out what really mattered and what I truly wanted to do. If you want to start doing what matters most to you, call Steve.

    Rob Brooks - Retired Accountant, Farmer, Beekeeper, Musician, Linguist, Skier, Biker, and Community Volunteer

  • “I came to the first session so scared of retirement that I couldn’t imagine a life worth living without my work. Now I’m starting to believe it's possible to be happy without working at the WTO.”
