Coaching that compounds.
Structured 1:1 work that identifies what’s actually driving your patterns, and turns what we find into a growth system you own for life.
1:1 Coaching
Focused, one-on-one work for people ready to move past pattern management and into identifying what’s actually driving their behavior, decisions, and relationships.
This work goes below surface-level strategies and mindset tools. We identify the core question driving your patterns, name the strengths and shadows that share its root, and translate kid logic into adult wisdom. Then we turn what we find into fuel: a growth system that gets you unstuck, builds momentum, and compounds session over session.
What this work supports
- Clarity about the core question driving your recurring patterns
- Tools for recognizing old patterns in real time
- Old kid logic, finally translated into adult wisdom
- Stronger self-leadership and clearer decision-making under pressure
- Language for patterns that were previously just felt
- Alignment between values, decisions, and behavior
Frameworks informing the work
- Compound Coaching — a structured methodology for making sessions build on each other instead of starting from scratch.
- Primal Question — the core emotional needs framework developed by Mike Foster.
- The Stick — the shared root of a person’s greatest strength and deepest struggle, named and worked with honestly.
Structure
- 60-minute sessions, video call or in-person
- Every two to three weeks
- Structured notes after every session — plus the full transcript, because your breakthroughs shouldn’t depend on your memory
- Email support between sessions
- Your complete Compound Coaching Portfolio at engagement close
The Account
The sessions are where the real work happens. The Account is what makes it stick.
The Account is a structured, living record of who you are, what’s been running you, and the ground you’re claiming, refined session by session into a resource that only gets more valuable over time. It captures your Primal Question, the patterns we name, the reframes that land, and the breakthroughs that would otherwise fade by the time you hit the grocery store. Every session feeds it. Nothing starts from scratch.
Financial
Value accrues with each session. The longer the engagement, the more it’s worth.
Narrative
It tracks the story you’re actually writing — not the version you’ve rehearsed.
Accountability
It makes the gap between who you are and who you want to be concrete, not theoretical.
The Account is yours from the first session; you have full access throughout the engagement. When the work ends, the complete Compound Coaching Portfolio (The Account, session transcripts, and supporting materials) is delivered as a package you own outright. No re-subscription. No lock-in.
It’s an asset, and it compounds.
How it works
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to discuss what you’re navigating. Free. Video call or in-person. If the fit is right, we talk about what the work would look like.
The work begins
Your Primal Question is identified. The Account is opened. Patterns get named. Sessions build from there, every two to three weeks.
It compounds
Each session builds on the last. The Account grows in value. When the engagement ends, the full Portfolio is delivered — yours to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
No. Therapy often explores the past to heal it. Coaching takes where you are now and moves you forward. The two complement each other well — if therapy is a better fit, I’ll say so.
How long is a typical engagement?
Most engagements run 6–12 sessions. Some clients find clarity quickly; others want deeper, longer-term work. The right cadence and length get established early in the engagement.
What happens in a session?
Each session draws from what you’ve been noticing since we last met and the compounded record in The Account. We identify what’s active, trace the patterns showing up in real time, and end with a clear next step to carry into the week.
Do you work with teams?
Yes. Workshops and group sessions built around the Primal Question framework are available for leadership teams, churches, and organizations.
Do I have to be a Christian?
No. My faith shapes how I see the world and it shows up naturally in how I coach, but it’s not a prerequisite. Clients of different faith backgrounds (or none) work with me regularly.
Can I see testimonials or talk to past clients?
Yes to the first: you can read full client and fellow-coach stories rather than trimmed soundbites. As for talking to someone directly: coaching is confidential, so I won’t hand out names — but a few past clients have offered to share their experience. Ask on the initial call and I’ll connect you where I can.
What if I’m not sure it’s for me?
That’s what the initial call is for. Thirty minutes, free, no commitment. You’ll leave with more clarity than you had before. It may also help to see some of the people this work was built for — you might recognize yourself in one of them.
How coaching begins
The first step is a brief conversation. Thirty minutes, free, video call or in-person. We’ll explore what you’re navigating and whether this work is a fit.
If you’ve taken the Primal Question assessment beforehand, that thirty minutes goes from getting to know you to discussing the thing underneath the thing that drives everything. If you haven’t, no problem.
I coach a limited number of clients at a time. It’s how every engagement gets the depth this work requires.
