About Josh
I'm passionate about bridging gaps, fostering growth, and building strong connections. With a diverse background in military service, professional coaching, and team-building, I'm here to share my expertise and accompany you through the discomfort of growth.
My Journey:
🌍 Language as a Bridge: My journey began as a military interpreter and translator, where I honed my skills in communication and cultural understanding. Working in diverse, high-pressure environments, I learned the power of words to break down barriers and forge meaningful connections. My experience as an intelligence analyst further deepened my ability to distance myself from a situation, examine it from multiple conflicting perspectives, and make informed decisions.
🤝 Empowering Through Coaching: I've invested years in extensive facilitation and professional coaching training. Whether it's working with large corporate departments or small leadership teams, I'm dedicated to making your objectives more achievable. My coaching style is rooted in active listening, empathy, and guiding you towards your own solutions through your strengths.
🏹 Building Strong Teams: My commitment to teamwork has been a constant thread in my life. From my time in the Boy Scouts to my military service and corporate experience, I've witnessed the magic of bringing diverse individuals together to achieve a common goal. I understand the dynamics of teamwork and know how to foster an environment where everyone thrives.
I'm excited to bring my unique blend of skills and experiences to help you succeed. Whether you're seeking an outside perspective, executive coaching, or team-building expertise, I'm here to guide you towards your goals. Let's embark on this journey together!
