Zen's Personal Story
My message? Awaken purpose. Align action. Live fully.
There was a time when I thought success was about control, strategy, and perfect execution. My early career spanned aerospace project management, corporate consulting, high-stakes event coordination, and major construction stakeholder team building—fields that demand precision and leadership.
Yet, beneath the surface of these structured worlds, I felt an undercurrent of something deeper calling me: the power of connection, intuition, and transformation. It was a constant companion as I navigated life, yet hard to explain. It got better over time and with decades of exploration.
My journey to becoming a transformational guide began with radical curiosity and vulnerability. Adopted as an infant, my early life was shaped by a profound sense of searching—seeking to understand me, my origins, and creation. I found the ‘voice’ inside as a result. The more I discovered, the more I was able to help others.
My work as an integral guide became a fusion of ancient wisdom, contemporary leadership principles, and intuitive knowing. I saw transformation not as a linear process but as a journey of awakening—one that requires courage, self-inquiry, and alignment with a greater universal intelligence.
In my book “The Unconventional Conventionalist,” I lay out a philosophy that moves beyond conventional leadership into collaborative, heart-centered engagement. This approach isn’t about fixing people but empowering them to recognize their own potential, synchronize with their purpose, and navigate change with grace and resilience. I share the precepts, principles and powerful tools I’ve found to do so.
