Despite operating in hostile environments, individuals working in Special Operations must maintain mission effectiveness. Elite athletes and senior leaders must perform at a high level while managing various stressors. Resiliency is a critical aspect of performing well under pressure. In the face of adversity, people don’t give up. Instead, they persevere, learn, overcome, and succeed.

As an executive coach, I specialize in leading individual and small group sessions for Special Operations personnel. My sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening critical thinking, and implementing effective solutions. I help my people develop the necessary tools and strategies to successfully adapt, plan, and execute their goals, even in unexpected or stressful circumstances or when resources and support are limited. I offer the same level of support to executives, managers, players, coaches, and other personnel to achieve their personal, team, and organizational objectives.

In Special Operations, soldiers build strong bonds through shared experiences and a common culture. They rely on their teammates to protect them when their lives are on the line, and the success of their missions often depends on this trust. To achieve high performance, teams must understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and work together to minimize any potential issues while maximizing their collective strengths. The same testing and group feedback used in Special Operations to foster unit cohesion and effectiveness can also be applied in the worlds of sports and business.

Optimal health is crucial for peak performance and quality of life. Comprehensive support focused on the whole athlete – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational pillars. By providing support that promotes a healthy, stable, and fulfilling personal life, players, coaches, and staff, can remain focused on performance and winning championships. Likewise, it is crucial to support athletes in their transition to retirement in a healthy way.

Personal relationships can be one of the biggest sources of stress in Special Operations. To help improve the quality of life for our families, I created a series of workshops covering topics such as stress management, developing resiliency in children, enhancing kids’ decision-making skills, coping with bereavement, and strengthening marriage relationships. By providing resources that promote a healthy and fulfilling family life, people can focus on their performance and the mission of the organization.

Providing support to elite athletes and C-level executives is similar to the support in Special Operations. It involves meeting with them to better understand their concerns and acting as their liaison to arrange behavioral health services. By doing so, individuals within an organization can not only resolve problems that might hinder their performance but more importantly, live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

As someone who has provided support to Special Operations in various countries and under different conditions, I can assist your organization as well. As a consultant, I offer fresh perspectives that are tailored to address a wide range of challenges, situations, and objectives. My insights can help leaders optimize their potential, make informed decisions, and achieve their goals.
