Hey there, I’m Peter!  

I’m a queer leadership coach who nurtures people to thrive in life and leadership.  

I envision a world where lives, organizations, and communities are transformed and made more joyful by queer magic.  I believe coaching is a key tool for this transformation.

I boldly and joyfully invite you into a coaching relationship where you can more fully embrace your queer magic. I make this invitation both to those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and those who are curious about queering their perspective on life and leadership.

I invite you to learn more about me here.

What’s Possible through Coaching?

  • Thrive through a Transition

    Get clear about the next phase of your life or career. Embrace change and approach what comes next with care and intention. Support yourself to thrive as you start a new role or join a new organization.

  • Build Leadership Confidence

    Build confidence in yourself as a leader: taking up your space on your own terms, living your values out loud, and using your voice and talents to motivate and inspire others.

  • Play with your ‘Professional’ Drag

    Make intentional choices about how you present yourself at work–perhaps integrating parts of who you are that you’ve kept invisible up until now. Become a champion for self-expression in workplaces designed to silence, erase, or extract quiet compliance.

  • Invest in your Holistic Well-Being

    More choicefully balance work and life. Deepen your community of care and support. Embrace caring for yourself as an act of self- and community-preservation.

  • Cultivate Emotional Intelligence

    Deepen the quality of your relationships and take your leadership to the next stage by cultivating emotional intelligence skills like self-awareness, empathy, relationship building, and stress tolerance.

  • Hone your Equity Leadership Skills

    Practice equity leadership skills as you work to embody a joyful & inclusive leadership style that disrupts dominant-culture leadership norms at work.

Coaching Philosophy

I’ll invite you to love and celebrate the body; finding paths to growth & integration through embodied intuition and mind-body-spirit approaches. 

Practical & Transformational

I’m committed to supporting you through a process of integration and transformation, and also I’ll consistently invite you to identify and take practical steps forward.
