Executive Coaching

At Varroom, we view coaching as a partnership built on deep respect for the whole person. Our coaching process is guided by you, not us. It’s your journey, and our role is to help you shape it.

We believe the best coaching is grounded in understanding. It’s about asking the right questions—questions that challenge your assumptions and help you uncover those perceptions, beliefs, or behaviors that may be in your way. Whether you’re leading a team, shifting into a new role, or striving to reach your next personal milestone, we offer tailored support to unlock your potential.

Coaching helps you become the best version of yourself, on your terms. It’s about identifying the areas that matter most and focusing on them—just as a coach would do for an athlete.

I know this firsthand: as a triathlete, I trained hard, but real breakthroughs didn’t come until I hired a coach who understood me. She knew my strengths and weaknesses and focused on what I needed most. That tailored focus—grounded in my goals—transformed my performance, and enabled me to reach levels I hadn't achieved in the 15 years I was going it alone.

In the same way, we help you focus on the areas that will move you forward—working with your strengths, and focusing on the gaps that will unlock your true potential.

First and foremost, [Rick] can see AND communicate the essence of a challenge - he understands what's going on quickly and what can be done about it. Next, he takes the time to listen to those around him and bring forth the strengths of the team - it's genuinely fun to be a part of that process.
