Coaching for Leaders at the Edge of What’s Next.

A free 45-minute conversation to see if working together makes sense. I'll ask what's going on for you, what change you're looking for, and what success would look like in the next six months. You'll learn how I work, what an engagement looks like, and whether the chemistry feels right. If we're a fit, we discuss next steps. If we're not, you walk away with clarity either way. No pressure, no pitch.

Therapy is backward-looking and clinical, focused on healing. Mentorship is advice-driven, usually from someone who has done what you want to do. Coaching is forward-looking and partnership-driven. I don't tell you what to do. I ask the questions that help you see what's already true for you, then help you act on it with discipline. Coaching is for performance and direction, not for clinical or emotional treatment (see the Disclaimer page for the full distinction).

Six months for most 1:1 engagements. Three to six months for Transition Coaching. Twelve weeks for cohort-based Group Coaching. Some clients extend beyond the initial term when the work compounds. We design the engagement length together during the intake session, based on what you're navigating and what you want to accomplish.

Investment varies by engagement scope, format, and length. We discuss specifics during your Chemistry Call, once we've established that working together makes sense. Coaching at this level is a meaningful investment, in the same range as other executive development work you've likely participated in.

Yes. Everything you share in our coaching sessions stays between us. I follow the International Coaching Federation's Code of Ethics, which includes strict confidentiality standards. If you're being coached as part of an organizational engagement, I share only what you agree to share with stakeholders, on terms we set in the engagement contract.

Come anyway. The first stage of every engagement is exactly about getting clear on what matters and what you're actually trying to navigate. Some of my most productive engagements have started with a client saying "I don't know what's wrong, I just know I'm not where I want to be." Clarity is the work, not a prerequisite for it.

If we agree to work together, I send you a tailored engagement agreement that outlines scope, cadence, and investment. Once signed, we book an intake session (one to two hours) that maps your current state, your goals, and how we'll measure progress. Then we begin the engagement on the cadence we set.

Yes. I'm based in Austin, Texas, and work with clients across North America, Europe, and Asia. Sessions happen by video. I keep flexible hours to accommodate non-US time zones for clients in the EU, UK, and APAC.

Yes. Several of my clients have been engaged by their organizations as part of leadership development or transition support. I work with HR, L&D, and direct managers to define the engagement scope, agree on confidentiality boundaries, and structure stakeholder check-ins where appropriate. Henrik Klemola at Epicor is one example of a multi-engagement enterprise partnership (see Testimonials).

Yes, on a per-engagement basis. Each leader has their own 1:1 engagement with full confidentiality between us. I do not share what one client says with another, even when they work at the same company. If the organization wants aggregated themes or progress signals, we agree on those reporting boundaries upfront in writing.
