Stage fright, gone in one evening.

Be even more successful
at work and in life.
For business owners, professionals and high achievers.
The only thing preventing you from being more successful is you, and the messages you give yourself.
Synergix helps successful—and soon‑to‑be‑successful—people recognize the patterns, assumptions and habits that can interfere with better decisions, stronger performance and a more satisfying life. Then we work on changing them.
The approach is practical, individual and grounded in more than five decades of business, entrepreneurial and mentoring experience.
I work with clients for eight sessions or fewer. Sometimes one is enough.

Experience
Advice shaped by experience—not just theory.
I have spent more than five decades in business and have been involved in more than 30 businesses, often as an owner and entrepreneur. I have built businesses, sold businesses, made good decisions, made expensive mistakes, managed people, negotiated, invested, taught, mentored and started over.
That experience matters because most of the problems we work on are not abstract. They show up in decisions: when to act, when to wait, whom to trust, how to lead, how to communicate, how to deal with uncertainty, and how to stop repeating choices that do not produce the results you want.
Synergix combines that real-world perspective with useful concepts drawn from psychology, cognitive-behavioral approaches, language and other disciplines. We use what is useful. The objective is not theory. It is better outcomes.
What is holding you back?
What is getting in your way?
Successful people are not immune to fear, self-doubt, old assumptions or unproductive habits. In fact, success can sometimes make those patterns harder to recognize because they coexist with everything that is already working.
The question is not whether something is ‘wrong’ with you. The question is whether there are ways you think, react or decide that are costing you opportunities, relationships, confidence, time—or simply peace of mind.
Whether you’re 18 or 58, the patterns that hold you back work the same way.
I have worked with an 18-year-old entrepreneur, a PhD student who was sabotaging his own thesis without realizing it, and people in their 40s and 50s finding that what they used to do no longer works.
Choose the issue that sounds familiar. That gives us a place to start.
What changes when you stop getting in your own way

A PhD student stopped sabotaging his own work.
The hard call, finally made.
A business owner sold his struggling stores. He and his wife now travel, sleep late, and look and feel a lot younger.
Four ways we work together
Personal Development Coaching
- Understand what is getting in your way, change patterns that no longer serve you, and make choices that move you toward the life you want.
Business Advising & Mentoring
- Bring a difficult business problem, opportunity or decision to someone who has spent decades building and operating businesses—and who will challenge your assumptions as well as your strategy.
Leadership Coaching
- Improve decision-making, communication, team dynamics, confidence and the ability to bring out stronger performance in other people.
Workshops & Speaking
- Interactive programs built around the audience—not canned presentations—on decision-making, behavior, leadership, success and related subjects.
