How I Coach
I work with my clients to identify their unique untapped potential and turn it into concrete skills they can use to enthusiastically embrace the next phase of their career with confidence and resilience (see my Testimonials page for client comments).
I offer different programs based on the stage of your career and can specialize these programs to meet your needs.
Tech Leader to Exec Leader Program
Are you a young leader in the tech industry who finds themselves suddenly facing a more senior leadership position? Perhaps because someone retired or left the company? Are you a corporate client who wants to invest in high-performing young leaders?
As someone with a PhD in AI who suddenly found himself as CEO of a startup, I've lived that transition.
In fact, I'm uniquely qualified to help you (see my linkedIn profile).
This 9-month exclusive program takes you through all the skills you need to confidently embrace senior leadership. It's an "MBA of Soft Skills" for leaders in tech.
We'll cover:

This is a limited-enrollment program for individuals ready to make a significant investment. I only take 2 clients at a time, ensuring you will have exclusive access to my expertise.

Career Reboot Program
You're competent, you're capable, you're good at what you do. But it's not fulfilling you.
Something is telling you not to settle for the status quo, There's a clock ticking, and you feel like it's time to explore something else.
In this 3-9 month program we will unveil a vision of what's next for you. This won't be about resume writing or job hunting; you know how to do all that. This is inner work. This is about what it really means to be YOU. This is about going beyond just paying the bills. It's about being able to look back with pride on how you spent your time.
We'll divide our work into 2 phases. Phase 1 is about finding a new position that really excites you. Phase 2 is about getting comfortable and confident once you take the leap.
We'll cover:
• Exploring your strengths
• Identifying your personal compass
• Reframing and exploring perspectives
• Building your unique vision
• Setting and achieving milestones
• Facilitating teamwork
• Creating buy-in
• Imposter Syndrome
• Confidence building
• Managing stakeholders
• Embracing uncertainty
• and more

Not-Your-Parents'-Career Program
You're fresh out of college. You may have school debt. You certainly have loads of people telling you what you should do.
Perhaps you think you should know your "passion" but that word has never resonated with you. Perhaps a voice inside you worries you might not have a passion at all. Are you condemned to a fate of middle-aged, mortgage-bound, misery?
This 3-6 month program will show you another way. You'll discover you already know everything you need for a life of fulfillment.
Together, we will:
• Discover what "lights you up"
• Determine which values you need to honor
• Create guideposts to help you explore
• Clarify the career choices best for you
• and more
