When we first started working together at the United Center, I was stepping into a new leadership role in a new city while also adjusting to life as a new dad. It was a pivotal and demanding season of life, balancing family responsibilities while building a department and staff from the ground up.

The Journey
The Journey
What immediately stood out about Wade was his ability to provide clarity, confidence, and perspective during times of transition. He has a unique ability to coach people through both career and life challenges in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.
A true coaching partner
Our work began with defining what mattered most to him beyond titles and income. This led to difficult but honest conversations about what he wanted his life to actually feel like. Over time, James started setting firmer boundaries with work, saying no to projects that didn’t align with his values.
Instead of applying pressure, Wade approaches coaching as a true partner — someone invested in helping you grow, think bigger, and exceed the expectations you place on yourself.
Through Wade’s mentorship, I became more confident taking ownership of major projects, making difficult decisions, and operating without fear of failure. He consistently challenged me to think differently, trust my instincts, and push beyond what I believed I was capable of.
