Executive Coaching for medical device professionals
Overcome Burnout. Transcend Politics. Take your Career to the Next Level.
Why Med Device?
Coaching Medical Device Professionals is near and dear to my heart because it’s the industry that inspired me to become a Transformational Leadership Coach.
In my ten years of experience working in this industry, I’ve met the best and brightest - former athletes, top performers, and lifelong over-achievers - and yet so many are living in constant burnout, getting caught up with company politics and staying stuck in their ‘Zone of Excellence’ but never maximizing reaching their full potential in their Zone of Genius.
Not only that, but I believe there's an opportunity to usher in a new paradigm of servant leadership built on embodied presence, decision making that creates a positive sum game and a political culture that values ‘how you lead’ as much as 'who you know'.

She was able to immediately help me grow in both practical ways like preparing for a job interviews but also in mental and spiritual ways. She supported me through intense decisions with very helpful techniques to help me cope with stress and think clearly.

Cream Rises to the top
In a world where we are constantly climbing over each other to get to the top, straining to be visible and networking with all the ‘right people’, every once in a while a leader comes along that just does it differently.
They command a certain presence that feels magnetic, yet highly approachable
They are the type of leader that people will follow anywhere
They possess a quiet confidence and inner wisdom, they make decisions that are highly creative and strategic.
They are transformational speakers, they move a crowds to action—whether it be a webinar of five people or a room of 500
They transcend company politics and invite others to meet them there
They seem to have some secret business edge that causes them to naturally rise to the top in every situation
There’s a tendency to dismiss coaching as too "touchy feely", and that’s really a miss because:
1. If you look at the most transformational leaders and athletes of our time, almost all of them rely on coaches to help them see their blind spots and rise above their limitations.
2. There are so many cutting-edge practices and evidence-based tools that you could be applying to max out your career and put you at the top of your game. Why wouldn’t you invest in yourself?
Experience more productivity, motivation and flow state in your work day
Create a coherent heart/brain connection, positively affecting every system of your body
Access the higher centers of your brain and tap into innate wisdom for a business edge
Make insanely creative and strategic decisions, even under stress
Do you want to survive or thrive?
The medical device industry is a breeding ground for burnout as you spend most of your days ‘putting out fires’ and on the constant grind.
Living in constant fight or flight mode has an adverse effect on every organ system in your body, and causes you to making decisions from the lower survival centers of your brain.
Burnout and Stress Resilience
Handle high-pressure situations with poise, calm and confidence
I’m not going to tell you to work less or change your lifestyle, I know that’s not realistic.
HOW I HELP med
device Pros
I am going to give you evidence based practices to strengthen your inner battery so you can:
Sales Performance
Be honest, when you sit down to a sales conversation, the pressing thought in your mind is usually, “How can I get this guy to buy from me?”
Without realizing it, we often lead with our own needs, putting ourselves in a box where we see our client as an object we must overcome in order to meet our sales goal rather than a human being with his own needs and desires. We are so conditioned to ‘get the sale’, but we are never taught how to use higher thinking to create a solution that is truly what our client wants.
Outward Mindset training is highly beneficial to sales teams- rather than using the ‘fire hose’ approach where we push our objectives onto our client, we instead use an ‘Outward Mindset’ to truly understand the psychology of our buyer and how we fit into their current paradigm. What’s being said and (more importantly) what’s not.
When we get ‘out of the box’ and change our thinking, we can see our clients true needs and ‘help things go right’ by providing a holistic solution that creates a positive sum game.
Have a rep that has potential but needs some work? Sometimes 1:1 coaching can be the missing ingredient to work through interpersonal challenges and help a good rep get out of their own way. Send them to me and let me fix them up for you.
Performance Plan/Rep Challenges
Lead in a way that makes sure all needs are considered
An exact formula that you can use to lead team projects in a way the draws out the best in everyone and delivers positive sum solutions
Provide maximum benefit to your organization, while positioning you as a standout servant’s leader
If you’ve been told that you need empathy training, you’re not alone. This is the number one reason why companies hire me to work with their C-Levels.
Outward Mindset Training moves away from the ‘touchy feely’ modalities of empathy training that most Med Sales Pros hate, and instead provides a functional, practical framework to recognize how the protective self sometimes interferes with our ability to see the needs of our team clearly.
I’ll give you the tools to:
Empathy Training
Company politics keeping your stuck and frustrated? No matter how emotionally intelligent you are, it’s hard to embody positive traits in a toxic environment. I find that having support to talk through situations in real time is indispensable.
I can help you work out a plan to work with difficult personalities using strategic communication, conflict resolution, outward mindset, and a mix of diplomacy and boundaries (with the confidence to know when when to use which).
Navigating Politics
Like a Boss
If you’re interviewing for a big one, please let me put you in touch with one of my references and hear how I can help you set yourself apart as the obvious candidate. (At the risk of sounding arrogant...I'm really that good).
Interview Prep
We all want the top spots, but the 1% of exceptional leaders don’t leave it to chance. I’ll help you develop an intentional plan to eliminate doubt and make you the obvious stand-out candidate for you next role and beyond. The goal is to plan, not just the next promotion, but for the longevity of your entire career and beyond. Start looking at those board seats!
Career Planning
Promotion Strategies
If you’re committed joining the elite group of leaders that truly achieve greatness, it requires that you get clarity on exactly what that looks like and then identify your own upper limits and where you are getting in your own way.
I’ll help you:
- Define the highest vision for your life and career
- Identify the upper limits that are sabotaging your full potential
- Develop a plan to help you rise to your greatness
- Provide the much needed accountability along the way.
