Has the fire gone out?
Do you remember when your work was fun?
- When you were excited to get stuck-in every day?
- When you loved the challenges, the rollercoaster ride of ups and downs?
- When your team felt like they could take on any project and succeed?
- When your organization felt innovative, creative, open, and collaborative?
- When you were inspired and fulfilled?


When any of that is missing I help exceptional people, teams, and company leaders light, or re-light that fire.


Hi, I'm Fred. I'm a certified coach specializing in individual and team transformation. For over 23 years I made the impossible possible in VFX and animation on over 50 Hollywood movies, from Harry Potter to Dune, in a range of artist, engineering, and management roles. Today I believe in your potential, and want to help you make it a reality.

When you're ready for a stress free, judgement free, zero obligation chat, let's talk!

“When a colleague first told me, 'you need to talk to Fred,' I had no idea how that advice would impact me and my career.
I was hesitant and only took the advice because I deeply trusted my colleague.

Now I tell everyone I meet who wants to grow their confidence, break out of whatever rut they're in, or realize their career, business, and life ambitions. ’Talking to Fred is a game-changer!’”

"Working with Fred has helped me grow. He knows what questions to ask from an impartial, more objective viewpoint, to help me figure out how to improve.

Through various exercises, he has helped me be a better leader and better person in general. Fred pushes me, while being sensitive to my comfort level and goals with each of our sessions. He is someone I can confide in who wants the best for me, yet holds me accountable with actionable plans to bring it all to fruition."
