Our mission is to create healthier, happier, and more successful employees, and change the landscape of business so that individuals, teams, and companies can all thrive together.
Our leadership team combines for over 85 years of experience in Health & Wellness, Leadership and Executive Coaching, Behavior Change, plus Corporate Training and Training Design to help organizations and their employees achieve higher levels of personal and professional success, and resilience.
Sergio has 25 years of experience as a holistic fitness and wellness coach and health educator, along with 16 years of experience as a mindfulness and leadership trainer and speaker. He's worked with dozens of professional athletes, CEOs, and celebrities, in addition to many corporations and community organizations to promote both physical and emotional health as well as peak performance.
Sergio's commitment to health and serving others led to him being selected to serve as the Executive Director for the President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports in Washington D.C. in 2009. Soon after, Sergio launched his own coaching and consulting business, Redefined Wellness, which eventually became A.L.I.V.E. Coaching and Consulting through a collaboration with Dr. Novick.
After years of research into longevity, disease prevention, plus mental and emotional health, Sergio identified ten micro-habits that had the greatest impact across all of these. In collaboration with Dr. Novick, he created a unique behavior change method utilizing the ten micro-habits that they now use for both coaching individuals and transforming organizations. He further developed his method to include productivity and peak performance.
Sergio's coaching program received national awards and recognition in various industries including transportation where he coached over 700 truck drivers to not only significantly improve health markers, but also improve their mental health and driver safety records, which led to being the keynote speaker in 2018 and 2019 for the NETS (Network of Employers for Traffic Safety) Safety Conference under the Federal Highway Traffic Safety Association.
Additionally, Sergio has extensive media experience including 12 years as the Fitness & Wellness Expert for NBC5 in Chicago, being featured on the Dr. Oz Show as a semi-finalist for 'Trainer of the Year', and has appeared on the Today Show, among others. Most recently, Sergio published his first book, "Say Goodbye to Belly-fat: 6 Steps to Mastering Your Insulin and Losing Weight for good"
