ABOUT THE AUTHOR

For 55 years, I followed the script. Do what you’re told. Build the career. Climb the ladder. Raise the kids. Smile for the pictures. From the outside, it looked like I had everything—vacations, a country club membership, financial comfort, and a reputation for success. But inside, I was running on autopilot, asking silent questions no one else seemed to be asking: Is this it? Why does success feel so empty? I wasn’t failing. I just wasn’t fulfilled. Walking away from the career I built wasn’t easy. But it was necessary. I stopped chasing what wasn’t mine and discovered what had always been waiting within me. That shift wasn’t just external. It was personal. I stopped performing. Stopped pretending. Stopped shaving to look the part. I stopped wearing the tie—and started living the truth. For over 25 years, I’ve been helping others make that same shift—from living out expectations to leading with intention. Whether they’re executives, entrepreneurs, or people quietly questioning the life they’ve built, the pattern is the same: most of us are untapped. That’s where my work begins. I’m the author of Start with Stop, a book that challenges readers to question their assumptions, drop what’s no longer serving them, and lead from the inside out. I’m also the creator of Within: Leading From the Inside, a leadership experience built for people who are ready to stop managing the performance—and start owning their purpose. My approach doesn’t hand out formulas. It creates space for clarity. Because the truth is: we don’t need more how-to’s. We need more why-not-you’s. Every stage I step on, every coaching session I lead, every conversation I hold—I bring that energy. I don’t talk about becoming perfect. I talk about becoming real. Because when people reconnect with who they are, they stop performing and start living. And that’s when everything changes.
