The questions we ask shape us.
The answers we find lead us deeper in.
We show up for life, and stay awake to ever better questions.

These questions have shaped my life:

What inner resources do we naturally possess as humans that orient us toward reality, well-being and love-in-action?  How can we cultivate these resources within ourselves and others?

What human errors, traps, and tendencies create unnecessary suffering and confusion? What helps to change course and ease that pain?

What is the relationship between our internal state and our ability to create meaningful outcomes in our shared world? What is ours to do?

These studies and trainings have lead me deeper in:

  • Philosophy and Psychology (undergraduate, magna cum laude)

  • Contemplative Psychotherapy (masters, summa cum laude)

  • Transformational Neurolinguistic Programming (post-master’s level certification)

  • ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Training (decade-long study & practice)

  • Appreciative Inquiry (facilitator training)

  • Theory U (facilitator training & certification)

  • Prosocial (facilitator training & certification)

  • Paradox Management (facilitator training & certification)

  • MogaDao Mythosomatic Qigong (certified teacher)

Aaron Kahlow

Carl has been one of the few spiritually deep coaches that is both one to hold me to a higher standard of “being” and rooted in the real world challenges of “leading.” He gets it. He’s not only a coach, but one of the few to call a mentor.

Sanjit Singh

Carl has a remarkable way of reading people and helping ask the right questions that lead to greater self-awareness and self-compassion. His leadership is subtle, his inquiry is profound, and his guidance is compassionate. When I was having a difficult time with a particular relationship, Carl helped me find ways of connecting to the part of me that is grounded, calm, and knows what to do.
