WAYS WE WORK TOGETHER
Four doors into the same labyrinth.
FOR LEADERS & EXECUTIVES
Leadership & Executive Coaching
The pace isnʼt slowing down. What changes is the ground you lead from. Together we bring your beliefs and patterns into awareness, so you can respond rather than react — and lead as your whole self.

FOR TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS
Team Coaching & Facilitation
Your team is a system, and it has a voice of its own. Team coaching works with the whole — trust, alliance, how you disagree — so the team can do together what no one could do alone.

“Clif gave me the tools I needed to lead our organization out of its place of despair and refocus my team on the work at hand.”
Matt McTighe, Everytown for Gun Safety
Cancer & Caregiving Coaching
“You didn’t survive to return to who you were. You survived to find out who you are.”
A diagnosis strips away what we thought we could count on. Caregiving asks for more than we knew we had. Coaching offers a steady companion and a witness — someone to walk alongside you, without fixing, flinching, or disappearing.
I work with individuals, with caregivers, and with organizations that want to support employees navigating cancer and caregiving at work.
Individual coaching
For those on the Cancer Journey, in treatment and beyond, and for caregivers carrying the load.
Workplace programs
Small-group cohorts for employees returning to work through and after cancer and caregiving.

FOR COACHES, COMPANION COACHES & LEADERS · NOW IN DEVELOPMENT
The Well-Being Coaching Certification
One program. Three paths. A professional certification that trains coaches and leaders to accompany human beings through life’s most demanding passages — with presence, skill, and an embodied practice that sustains both the one who serves and the one who is served.
“Being human is the 'unlocking move' in the age of AI.”
PATH 1 · THE FOUNDATION
Well-Being Coaching
Foundations
The core certification. The Three Centers — head, heart, body — and the practices that keep a coach present: body scan, breathwork, RAIN, self-compassion.

Coaching Through Cancer & Caregiving, built on Path 1. Two concentrations — Cancer Voyage Coaching and Caregiver Coaching — plus a Companion Coach track for employees.

MEET CLIF
I have been there. And we walk the path together.
Professional ballet dancer. Chef. Lawyer. Business executive. It takes a long time to become yourself, and every one of those chapters taught me something about courage, transition, and what it means to show up as who you really are.
Today I bring the rigor of law and business together with a long contemplative practice rooted in wisdom traditions. As a Professional Certified Coach, and Certified Cancer Wellbeing Coach, I coach executives and teams, and accompany people through cancer and caregiving.
All this is combined in a unique Wellbeing Coach Training for ICF, and non-certified coaches and leaders who will carry this work forward.
Based in Portland, Oregon, and Mexico City. Working with clients everywhere.
Let’s begin with a conversation.
Our first session is on me — sixty minutes to explore where you are, where you want to go, and whether we’re the right fit for each other.
