About

Hi, I'm Soléo...the guy who might help you get your shift together.

 

Since 2004, I've been helping successful small business owners and executives make the professional and personal changes they want.  They adapt or pivot their business/career.  And, they up-level their performance, work-life balance, relationships and fulfillment.  My approach is a tailored blend of business and marketing consulting, leadership training and personal development coaching.


I grew up in sweet-home Chicago. In my mid-20’s, I was bored and burned out as a financial planner.  So, I decided to figure out what occupation I'd wake up excited to do every morning.  One week later, I received a coaching session. At the end of the session, I looked the coach in the eye and said, “What you just did with me, I’m going to do with others for the rest of my life.”  I found my life purpose, created my coaching business and never looked back.

On the personal side, I enjoy music, dance, competitive volleyball, chess, camping and travel. I found the love of my life in 2014 on a dance floor in Boulder, CO, where we live. We coach each other almost daily. Our ability to grow and work through challenge is a thing of beauty. So is she.

People say I’m straightforward, compassionate, adaptable and fun.  I’ll push you hard, I’ll make you laugh and we’ll do whatever it takes to hit your goals.
