My Journey & Mission

Hi there, I'm Claude

I’m a life, business, and leadership coach, teacher, and author with over two decades of experience helping people live their best lives. My journey started straight out of college as a youth worker, and I've since reinvented myself several times through multiple careers, including serving as a counsellor, minister, and government officer. However, my true passion was realized when I stumbled upon life coaching.

Along the way, I've faced my fair share of struggles and failures. Despite my desire to achieve and make a difference, I experienced burnout twice - first after a decade as a youth worker, and the second time after a decade as a founding director of a not-for-profit organization. These experiences have given me first-hand knowledge of the ambition, responsibility, imbalance, stress, and overwhelm that leaders face. But I've also experienced the fulfillment and meaning of seeing a vision come to pass.

My mission and passion are to build people who'll make a difference in their world. I believe in helping individuals achieve their own breakthrough moment - that moment of insight where they discover their own latent and hidden gifts, talents, and strengths. By uncovering thought and behavior patterns, we see new opportunities and realize we have the power to choose our path and destiny. That's where transformation occurs.

In my coaching practice, I work with a wide range of people - business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, career professionals, health practitioners, life coaches, ministers, artists, social workers, managers, educators, and students. I specialize in working with people who are committed to creating change in themselves, and then their world.

My coaching approach is more thoughtful and relaxed, drawing on my years of training in counseling, theology, positive psychology, and life coaching. I use an eclectic coaching approach, which is flexible and multifaceted, allowing me to use the most effective methods to address my client's individual needs while still following a plan tailor-made for their success.

On a personal level, I'm a serious foodie who loves to eat out and cook for my family. I'm also a charcoal barbecue aficionado, firing up the Weber every weekend. I'm passionate about jazz and even play and compose on the piano. I was born in Argentina and speak fluent Spanish. However, I've lived in Australia for over 40 years and call myself an Aussie. I've been happily married for over 30 years to the love of my life and have one adult son, who is the pride of my life. The three of us love to travel, and I invite you to take a peek into our travels by connecting with me on Facebook.

If you have any questions about my coaching or approach, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help you achieve extraordinary results and make a difference in your world.
