I am honored and thrilled that you are visiting my website.

My passion and mission is to help individuals and groups reach their full personal and or professional potential in the fastest, healthiest and most effective manner — in partnership with a master certified executive coach.  

 

I hope you find the website information helpful. If you are ready to start your coaching journey or simply curious, let's get started. 

About Me

I strive every day to be a warm and genuine person. I am creative, fun and authentic. I am a proud Latino. I am the first in my family to attain a higher education, earn and navigate multiple senior leadership, partner level positions in Corporate America, as well as balance the challenges of being an entrepreneur. I am blessed to have two beautiful young adult kids and I am privileged to be a father, husband and a community leader.

I am a seasoned professional with over 30 years of organization development, change management consulting and coaching experience. Before establishing Your Coach Guru Inc, I worked for professional consulting firms Accenture, PwC, IBM, Korn Ferry and most recently Amazon (specifically AWS - Head of People Transformation). Giving back to my community and profession is important to me. I have had the privilege of being a past board member of the Fulfillment Fund, B.A.Y. Fund and most recently Board President of the SoCal Association Change Management Professionals chapter.

My life purpose is to make an impact for my clients and the communities I serve and along this journey leave a legacy beyond myself.

I received my training through the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). I earned the designation of Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and Associated Certified Coach. I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and ICF Los Angeles Charter Chapter.

My coaching specialties include developing your brand and executive presence, developing your resiliency, optimizing your EQ and helping you create "wins" in your role. My approach includes a blend of  “coach-sulting” a combination of coaching and business consulting.

How I Coach Clients

I Expect Your Best

If you are hiring me, then you are probably ready to do and be your best.  If you are having a challenge with doing your best, I will look at what is in the way, and then help you to get back on to your path.

I Make Direct Requests

From time to time, I will make a direct request, like “Will you accomplish X by the end of the month?”  You may accept the request, counter-offer (say what you can do) or decline (rare).  Your choice is the right one for you at the time.

I Speak The Truth

I will ask at times if it is okay to make specific suggestions on how to handle a problem or “go-for” an opportunity.  Honesty is one of my values--I am straight and expect the same from you. My suggestions and/or advice are simply ways to brainstorm alternatives and as always are open for discussion.  The ultimate decision is always yours to make.

I Don’t Step Over Much

When I hear a funny tone in your voice, or notice something amiss, I will ask you about it.  Often, it is these small moments that offer the chance to resolve something. However, I don’t confront or push; I will merely invite you to look at something.

I Give Homework

I usually ask that the client come up with two or three goals, actions or breakthroughs to have between one call and the next.  If it is too much, say so.  If you want more, just ask.

I Am Here

I want to hear it all.  If you have a personal problem, are upset with something (even the coaching process or me), are just starting to realize something big, want to share a breakthrough, call or e-mail me.
