Leadership. Growth. Purpose.
I help leaders, organizations, and individuals navigate change, improve performance, and build lives and cultures with greater clarity, alignment, and purpose.
Ways I Can Help
Consulting & Leadership Development
Through The Wargo Group, I provide executive leadership coaching and academic consulting for leaders and institutions navigating challenges involving leadership, enrollment, retention, student success, academic outcomes, culture, and organizational performance.
Speaking
Keynotes, workshops, and conversations focused on leadership, resilience, personal growth, organizational culture, and the lessons we often learn the hard way.
Coaching
Individual coaching for individuals or groups seeking greater clarity, alignment, accountability, and growth.
In Conversation with Jon Gordon
I had the opportunity to join Jon Gordon on The Jon Gordon Podcast for a conversation that went far beyond weight loss.
We talked about losing 100 pounds, adversity, faith, purpose, career challenges, and the idea that real transformation happens when the physical, nutritional, and emotional/spiritual parts of our lives begin working together.
We also talked about the story behind my book, The Wellness Triangle: Where Alignment Becomes Transformation.
One of the central messages of the book is simple: meaningful change rarely comes from fixing one isolated part of your life. It comes from alignment.
I’m grateful to Jon for the conversation and for the opportunity to share some of the experiences that shaped both the book and the way I think about leadership, wellness, and personal growth.
