My practice is focused on helping individuals develop strategies for coping with the changes in career transitions so that the process is less distressing, disruptive and more productive. I have in the course of my many careers, reinvented myself several times. I have been a lawyer, entrepreneur, investment banker, and venture capitalist. My latest career transition arose out of an event which was truly life-altering. I sustained a trauma to my spinal cord which significantly impaired my ability to work. Throughout my rehabilitation, I faced many physical and emotional challenges to re-establishing a productive career. It was, however, because of these challenges that I discovered hitherto untapped resources within myself. It was by overcoming these obstacles that I found a new pathway to reinventing myself. It was the catalyst that led me into the exciting and fulfilling career of mentoring and executive coaching."
