I want to share a memory with you - a moment I’ll never forget. It was at Burning Man, and I was biking on the playa with my fellow campmates. Many of these people had been strangers a few days ago. But in our time camping together I had come to love and respect every one of them. As we were out there riding on this incredible lunar landscape with wild art pieces in the distance, I had this feeling of being among a team of superheroes. I looked around, imagining them all with capes blowing in the wind. And then, I had a moment of realization. If we were a team of superheroes, that meant I must be a superhero too. I turned around and looked behind me. There was my very own cape, flying in the wind.
In that moment, something in me shattered. Something I had been clinging to maybe my whole life. I had been looking outside myself to judge, “Am I enough?” and often feeling that the answer was “No”. But in that moment of being a superhero on the bike, I suddenly recognized my own gifts, my own magic, my own strength… and all in the same moment as I was reveling in the gifts, magic, and strengths of others. I could be a superhero among superheroes.
People usually come to coaching either because of a specific problem (“I want X”), or because they are struggling in general and want to get back to baseline. But the path forward for each of these begins in the same place - a solid grounding in self-belief and self-love. When you come from a place of self-love, there is an energy inside of you that propels you forward. It is as if the higher self is in the driver's seat, leading us to where we need to be. Many of us have been indoctrinated by a culture of working hard and looking outside of ourselves for answers. But when we tap into our inner knowing, our life force awakens and leads us from within.
This is what I help you rediscover. Our coaching will get you back in touch with the innate life force energy that leads.
I’m Brian, and I’m a Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC). I also have the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) designation through the International Coaching Federation and an MBA from UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. Most of my pre-coaching work was in different business roles in marketing, consulting, finance, etc.
Some of my personal growth influences include: Buddhism, meditation, and mindfulness, men’s work, 3 Principles, Positive Intelligence, ceremony space / medicine work, humanistic psychology, and Non-Violent Communication.
My goal as a coach is to help you live a life that matters and aligns with what is most important to you. I work with spiritual seekers who are searching for more meaning and those who want to move through their day with more energy, love, and trust in life. I help you be fully present with yourself and this moment of your life. Because where you are right now is exactly where you’re supposed to be. Who you are right now is exactly who you’re supposed to be.
And guess what?
You’re a superhero too. Let’s get started.
