Testimonials

What I find most in my work with Carl is the confidence that comes with radical self-inquiry and the sense of accomplishment that comes from recognizing when wisdom is revealing itself to you and then knowing what to do with it. Carl has helped me redefine what kind of leader I hope to be, using terms that describe my own strengths and emanate from my own heart and mind, rather than the expectations and terms of others. For the first time, I believe I am making decisions based truly on the full depth of the future I want those decisions to be the past of.

Running a company has its moments. Many of those moments are stressful and lonely, but I am not alone. Carl is an expert facilitator who offers guidance through choppy water, sharing new framings, models, and constructs that help me make sense of what’s going on inside and around me. The journey is full of lessons and opportunities for growth that can feel hidden or just out of reach––Carl knows how to apply gentle pressure at just the right points to unlock them.

— Ori Zohar, Co-Founder, Burlap & Barrel

Carl and I worked together during a pivotal moment in my entrepreneurial journey filled with significant challenges and uncertainty. Throughout this journey, I was able to evolve my own perspective through guided self-reflection, develop greater compassion for my employees and investors, and turn a difficult situation into an opportunity to build lifelong relationships and help a lot of people along the way. Carl helped me tackle difficult situations to become a better leader, more self-aware, and honestly, just a bit happier.

Meet Carl

In practice for over 20 years, I integrate long-standing human wisdom traditions (from both the West and East) with an evidence-based approach to coaching rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT). I’ve coached business and social change leaders through Reboot.io and at Naropa’s Authentic Leadership Center. I also study and teach meditation, qigong, and human warriorship at the MogaDao Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I hold a master’s degree in contemplative counseling psychology and a post-master’s certification in neuro-linguistic programming.
