I keep things simple.  Here's what I do:

I coach business and higher education leaders who want to improve their work environments by investing in their employees.
I coach individuals and small groups who are seeking personal development and/or guidance to move forward in life.
I do this by creating a coaching environment that focuses on individuals' values, talents, and behaviors.  I use my life experiences, training, and highly reliable assessment tools to validate the work I do.  My desire is for individuals to grow, progress, and make positive changes in their lives.

What is a HEADRUSH?

 A headrush occurs when you decide to change your life for the better.  It always begins with a decision.  A great headrush moves you to take action.




Your Success Is Personal to Me!

 For years I watched people struggle, bouncing from job to job because they didn't know what to do with their life.  I watched college students major in degrees they ultimately didn't want.  I've seen older adults miserable in work and retirement. This drove me to develop The Great Life program to guide people in discovering their purpose.  It took ten years to find the right formula.  Today, I'm driven to help people discover their purpose and to live more fulfilling lives.  There is nothing more satisfying as a Life Coach than being on the journey with a client in the discovery of their purpose.

I coach individuals and small groups because it allows me to fulfill my purpose.  It's that simple.

About The Great Life Program

I credit Dr. Miles and the Great Life program for my professional growth and development. This program taught me how to effectively handle the challenges that come with being a full-time professional and a full-time single parent. I gained valuable skills that have assisted me with helping students not only make meaning of their decisions but also understand their "why;" while challenging them on what it means to value difference. This program gave me a platform to identify the various forms of leadership, thus allowing me to shape my own narrative for the type of manager I desired to become. This program meets you where you are in your professional and personal journey, and helps you not only identify your authenticity but how to leverage (your authenticity) to your advantage. With the assistance of Dr. Miles and this program, I sought my doctoral degree, and as of today, I am ABD - looking to finish sometime in 2023. 
 
Thank you, Dr. Miles, I would not be at this stage of my professional career if not for your guidance, advice, and mentorship.

About The Great Life Program

I didn’t know what to expect by going through this program, but I found it to be very valuable. That was the first time I’d ever worked on a deeper level to better understand myself; who I am; what drives me. I think The Great Life pin-pointed exactly who I am and why I interact/engage with others the way I do.

About The Great Life Program

I really enjoyed the Great Life program with Dr. Miles. I used to compare my abilities to others and focused too much on my weaknesses. By going through this program, I was able to recognize the strengths that I already possess and was given the tools to utilize these strengths moving forward.

About The Great Life Program

The program will challenge you to reflect introspectively on who you are and what you want to become.  For me, the greatest challenge was confronting my internal blocks to think more purposefully about my life. This program brought enlightenment and provided the necessary guidance to better define my life vision and calling.

About The Great Life Program

One of the most profound realizations I gained from Dr. Tom Miles and The Great Life program is to live in the moment, which has allowed me to listen and be more engaged professionally and personally.  I've been able to apply many aspects of the program to help me effectively gauge when my leadership or guidance is needed.
My purpose is tied to my developer theme, ingrained in Happiness. I want people to see me as disciplined and fair. I'm striving to be the best possible version of myself with self-discipline. By doing so, I can inspire others to become the best possible version of themselves. Thank you Dr. Miles for the impact you have made on my development.
 

About The Great Life Program

I began the Great Life Program while I was completing my Masters' Program in Early Childhood Education. It was through The Great Life program with Dr. Miles that I discovered my true passion and really worked towards stepping into a career where I could best utilize my strengths. I am grateful that I was given the resources in this program to realize that although I took a different route than I initially intended, I ended up fulfilling my purpose on an even greater scale. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to determine and live out their purpose.

About The Great Life Program

The Great Life program was a great source for me to share thoughts and have a conversation about life in general. The program really helped me find my place in my work-life balance. I would highly recommend it.

About The Great Life Program

I am thankful for Dr. Miles taking the time to engage with others through the Great Life Program. The experience provided an intentional time to look deeper into the layers of my personality and how that correlates to what I am called to do. I appreciated having the time to take the Clifton Strenghts test and to debrief with a coach as well as with peers as they also dived with greater depth into their calling. I value having time to reflect, so this experience was meaningful and helpful in fine-tuning a purpose statement...one that I still utilize in some capacity five years later.
