The Coach
In the last decade, leadership and coaching aligned for Pete. He led two affiliate companies of the Strada Education Network, a $1.5 billion nonprofit public charity focused on improving higher education and career outcomes. He immersed himself in the world of unlocking human potential, primarily through the transformational power of coaching and other related tools critical to personal and professional growth.
Most importantly, Pete learned – and proved again and again – that the most reliable way to unlock organizational growth and success is to focus on the growth and success of the humans that make up the organization. It’s hard – really hard – but it works.
The Person
So, where did his Founder and CEO tenacity go? It’s still with him, but channeled differently these days – into humbly and passionately walking alongside inspiring Founder CEO’s as they courageously navigate journeys similar to the ones he has taken. He finds joy and a sense of balance reading, meditating, hiking and traveling with his wife and two grown sons. But he still plays to win on the pickleball court and has been known to get aggressive on skis or a mountain bike. Fear not, you’ll see the passion and tenacity in the work you do together, especially when you collaborate to land big ideas and find breakthrough solutions to challenging issues.
