Get Out of Your Own Way... and Get On With It: A Practical Guide to Stop Self-Judgment and Negative Thinking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945446092)

Pete ran a youth counseling program for five years before applying his people and communications skills to a thirty-year career in sales and marketing. Pete knows business and marketing management from extended real-life experience with corporate and agency services.

During his marketing career, Pete devoted time to a powerful community-based counseling program. For over twelve years he was a highly trained volunteer counselor and then instructor, providing services to people who otherwise could not access counseling. Pete also supplemented his coaching skills through private training, rounding out his experience and developing a system for transforming lives.

In addition to running his career and life coaching practice, Pete is active in community organizing that is directed at issues of social justice and anti-oppression work. He co-facilitates trainings about deconstructing and undoing racism.

Pete brings a unique mixture of experiences to his practice. Besides being a highly trained community counselor and instructor and former manager of a youth counseling center, he is father to two grown sons and a husband of more than forty years. This experience, combined with his corporate marketing and sales proficiency, has given him a rich and diverse set of skills.

Two intensive coaching training experiences have helped shape his coaching philosophy and approach: an intensive twelvemonth coaching-to-coach program with intuitive life coach Maura Leon of Inner Light Coaching and dynamic training with the Landmark Worldwide core curriculum tools for living.

Pete's purpose, mission, and dedication are to provide guidance to people seeking positive change to live the life they love.
