What Am I Doing Now?

2026 A Catalan Winter For The Ages

After many references over the past few months here in this space about the beautiful season of snow we've enjoyed here in the Pre-Pyrenees, Spring has officially arrived. While the river season is coming up soon, I created a final photo and video compilation from the past few months. Please click on the photo below to view on Instragram.

Coaching in 2026

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the work I do as an executive coach. My work is rooted in and filtered through wonderful principles that are as helpful to clients as they are to me.

These principles challenge me to be curious, try new things, and enjoy the process, even when the path is uncomfortable - all of which lead to some exciting changes and opportunities this year including... my inaugural adventure coaching retreat happening here in the Catalan Pyrenees this October.

Think Like An Olympic Champion

As I have participated in many podcast conversations, I think this one with Josh Zolin on the Everything They Don't Tell You Podcast is going stick with viewers and listeners for a while. It's a little longer than usual (97 minutes) but the themes, ideas, reflections, and prompts are clear and transformative.

In Front Of A Live Audience

Speaking in front of a group is something I used to do a lot. But since moving to Catalunya eight years ago, I've only done this just a few times... which made presenting to the Barcelona chapter of Entrepreneur's Organization a special experience for all of us. We dug into the what gets lost and misunderstood in the term, "High Performance," and how we can redefine in a way that works best of us... with a little more simplicity, connection, and kindness.

Collaborating in person with leaders and teams like EO Barcelona in the spirit of growth, connection, and transformation is something I enjoy and look forward to doing more in the future. If you would like to explore developing such a collaboration, let's talk!

(Since this presentation, one of the leaders in the group shared a special recap of the event on LinkedIn. Check it out --> HERE.)

Collaborations

Two collaborations in which I'm investing more time, energy, and resources are:

1. Elevating Leadership Institute (ELI): As co-founder of ELI, we are transitions partners for executive teams ready to scale. Our coaching and facilitation is anchored in the principles and our personal experiences and success in high performance sport. While most leaders focus on wanting their teams to “play better together,”  ELI dives much deeper into the team architecture using proprietary models, systems and curriculums tested and proven on the world’s biggest stages - in sport and business. More about ELI coming to this space soon but if you are a part of or leading a forward-thinking team that is ready to develop and grow its people, our program is a game-changer in this space.
2. Rios Lodge: This remote riverside retreat on Costa Rica's Pacuare River makes me smile every day... because of the smiles and reviews I see from our guests. I joined the ownership group of Rios Lodge a few years ago and since then, I've watched our leadership make improvements that are as good for the land as they are for our guests. The majority of our clients are retreat leaders who want to immerse their groups in Costa Rica's lush rain forest and enjoy a space that fosters disconnection and transformation. I look forward to hosting my own retreats here soon!
