Born and raised in Issaquah, Washington (30 minutes east of Seattle), Billy Price grew up very active in sports. Hiking and camping were staples. Mountain biking was a frequent treat. At eighteen, he left home and entered college. He was on top of the world, as the cliche goes. And then in a moment, his life changed forever. On October 9, 1996, Billy fell from a three-story window, broke multiple vertebrae and damaged his spinal cord causing permanent paralysis. The medical diagnosis? Quadriplegia. And the world that Billy was accustomed to—a world filled with fierce independence—was gone. Instead, Billy spent the next five-months of his life at the University of Washington Medical Center piecing his life back together both physically and mentally. Forced to grapple with either success or sorrow, Billy opted to focus on the function he still had instead of letting the thought of what he had lost consume him. Inch by inch, day by day, he improved, not in the sense of reversing paralysis, but in the sense of building confidence and gaining strength in what he had. Following his rehabilitation, Billy returned to college and finished his mechanical engineering degree. He relearned how to drive. He took the ski slopes back as a sit skier. He landed a job with the Federal Aviation Administration. He bought a condominium and started living on his own...until he met the love of his life and got married. And all that aside, somewhere along the way he connected with his longtime friend Darin Donaldson and started a shoe company that continues to grow and impact lives. Life is a journey. Enjoy it! Embrace and receive what life has to offer. Find strength in the storms. Be a person of action. Build on what you have. Hold on to hope. Have courage. Move forward. We all have a story. We cannot go back and rewrite how our story begins. But we can change how our story ends. It all comes down to choice And the choice to change can be made today. Giddy-up!

I am a management consultant, providing leadership and personal development services through group training workshops, individual coaching, and key-note speaking. I specifically work with corporate executives and small business owners in our coaching discipline. Being uniquely equipped with knowledge that comes from a breadth of experiential learning during a successful career of 40 years, I provide practical guidance and motivation to get you started on your personal journey to being the best that you can be. Following a 10 year span of teaching college students, the next 30 years of my journey, pursuing a corporate career following my second graduate degree (Computer Science), were the most fulfilling and educational years of my professional life. I was enriched with a varied breadth of experiences working with large corporations as well as start-ups and non-profits. Working my way up through the ranks, I also had the opportunity to work with C-suite leadership, in a variety of industry verticals, including Telecommunications (working for the Bell System and few incumbents), Global Banking, Cyber-Security and Educational Assessment. I feel extremely well-positioned to help small business owners due to my experience of extensive market analysis on owning and selecting a business, and having owned a franchise business myself. While running a women’s gym, I the opportunity to coach and motivate members with respect to their wellness objectives. It is through my teaching and corporate leadership positions that I recognized two things – One, my passion, seasoned acumen and demonstrated success for people development and leadership coaching. Second, I recognized a significant need in this area. While most businesses are focused on customer service and delivery and balancing the budget; training is usually provided in areas of technology and other immediate product and delivery driven needs, leadership and personal development plans for leadership and staff both individually, and at the team level is most often deferred or overlooked. We, at EMC, are passionate about helping people and organizations grow in areas of leadership, communications, career transition, teamwork, personal development, building morale, enhancing productivity. It is my goal to touch as many lives as I can to help them live realize their maximum potential and achieve performance excellence. If you are an individual with aspirations, but life seems to get in the way, or a corporate leader seeking to build a leadership, morale or growth culture in your organization or are seeking to develop your own journey for growth and success, please email me at [email protected] to schedule an initial discovery call.
