When you work with me as your Certified High Performance Coach (CHPC), we explore together:
- how clear you feel about your overall life and goals;
- whether or not you have the physical energy and mental stamina to perform your best;
- how confident and bold you show up in the world;
- what distractions or poor habits cause you to fall off course (and what routines can keep you on track);
- what you can do to better influence, lead, and inspire your peers and all those you serve;
- how you can make a bigger difference or contribution;
- how you can reclaim your power to create the life you desire.
Have you ever felt like you’ve hit a plateau, whether in your career, relationships, or personal goals?
You know you’ve worked hard to get where you are, but something inside tells you there’s so much more within your reach. This is where Certified High Performance Coaching (CHPC) can make all the difference.
Watch the video below, where I break down why CHPC is the key to breaking through to your next level and why it is so different from any other program.
CHPC isn’t about just checking boxes or holding you accountable. It’s about equipping you with the tools, clarity, and confidence to rise to the next level in all areas of your life.
Here’s what sets it apart:
A science-backed and results-oriented High Performance Curriculum proven to help you step into the best version of yourself so you take back control of your life, reclaim your agenda, and move toward your goals and dreams (regardless of whether you're having as much momentum at that moment, that week, or that month).Â
Each session builds on the next, helping you achieve consistent results, tap into your potential, fulfill your purpose, and live a charged life.
CHPC is an influence process that leads to discovery, decision-making, performance improvement, and better living. It’s about achieving long-term success while maintaining your well-being and relationships along the way.
Here are four reasons that the highest achieving people in the world report as why they hire a coach:
- Clarity – Gain a sharper focus on your purpose, goals, and what truly matters most.
- Congruence – Align your actions with your highest values—and stay on track.

My Story
I became very passionate about personal development and empowerment after struggling in an unhealthy relationship where I was over-functioning. I found it challenging to establish boundaries due to my people-pleasing tendencies. I was experiencing a loss of self by caring and doing more for others than I did for myself. I felt responsible for other people’s problems and issues. I confess I had gone through periods where I felt powerless and lacked the confidence to stand for what I really wanted, neglecting my wants and needs and delaying the pursuit of my goals. I had the urge to fix, save, and a need to be needed. But giving too much, to too many, for too long is not love; it’s codependency. I struggled to find my own worth and to find my life’s purpose.
Since then, I have trained with some of the best-regarded professionals in personal development and attended numerous conferences and programs in the United States. It has been one heck of a ride!
In 2020, I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer, allowing me to implement and deepen my skills. After four surgeries, chemotherapy, and other therapies, I realized how useful all the techniques I had learned were, and I am proud of how I showed up during that struggle. As I worked hard on healing my body, I also strengthened my mind by getting two other certifications: one focused on Emotional Intelligence and the other on Resilience. Doubling down on these skills helped me even more, to stay strong and enthusiastic during a debilitating illness where my body and mind were being challenged.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with an Aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, it was another opportunity for me to apply what I had learned and to go even deeper. Thanks to trials and tribulations, a new purpose arose: to help people deal with huge life challenges and trauma, this is why I am currently undergoing level 2 of Alex Howard’s Therapeutic Coaching Certification. This groundbreaking 24-month program integrates key principles of NLP, hypnotherapy, developmental psychology, life coaching, EFT, and mindfulness training to help people live healthier, happier, and more relaxed lives.
Today, I am cancer-free and have created a framework to help cancer patients cope more effectively with emotional and psychological stress while supporting them in making decisions that promote their quality of life. I have integrated my cancer journey into my coaching practice and help others become better versions of themselves with a High-Performing Emotional Quotient that helps them in all areas of their lives.
It gets even better; for over six years, I’ve been in the healthiest and most supportive relationship of my life, where I feel loved and appreciated, which contributes to my growth and well-being.
I trained and certified with Brendon Burchard:
CEO of the High Performance Institute and the world’s leading high performance coach, a 3-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most-watched, quoted, and followed personal development trainers in history. SUCCESS Magazine and O, The Oprah Magazine, have both named him one of the most influential leaders in personal growth and achievement. Forbes named him the world’s leading high performance coach and Larry King named him the world’s top motivational trainer.
A #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and #1 USA Today bestselling author, Brendon’s books include "High Performance Habits", "The Motivation Manifesto", "The Charge", "The Millionaire Messenger" and "Life’s Golden Ticket". His most recent book: "High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way", was a multiple week Wall Street Journal bestseller, and Amazon editors named it one of the “Top 3 Best Business & Leadership Books.”
