Coaching is a creative partnership focused on your development as a leader and human. People who thrive in this work are committed to growth, take ownership of their development, and lean into discomfort rather than away from it.

You're likely a good fit to work with me if you're already drawn to personal development, have some experience with mindfulness or spiritual practice, and are open to exploring new perspectives about yourself.

I've been leading teams for over 20 years, starting at 17 with UPS and continuing through military service, startups, and teaching roles. I'm a trained Aletheia coach with a Social Work degree focused on addiction and substance abuse.

I served in the Air Force as a combat engineer and squadron fitness trainer, then spent a decade in small businesses and startups while teaching technical skills to software engineers.

Clients value my unique mixture of technical expertise and people expertise. I understand the challenges of executing effectively day to day while keeping diverse groups of people aligned around a long-term strategic vision.

Most importantly, I've done the inner work that I ask of my clients. I've failed, succeeded, and learned to show up fully for myself and others.

Monthly investment varies based on your role, company context, and the scope of our work together. Most executives invest $2K-3K per month, senior leaders $1K-2K per month, and emerging leaders $500-1K per month.

During our initial conversation, we'll determine the right monthly investment level for your specific situation.

Our work together is month-to-month with 30 days notice required for ending the engagement from either party.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom on a bi-weekly schedule. We'll establish a consistent day and time during our initial conversation, and I'll set up a recurring calendar invitation.

I'm based in Berlin (Central European Time). Berlin-based clients have the option of in-person sessions in a private, professional setting.

Sessions begin with a check-in to assess what's most alive for you in relation to your commitments. We then move into inquiry using techniques from Internal Family Systems, somatic coaching, and presence-based approaches to work with your actual experience in real time.

We close by identifying specific actions you'll take before our next session. Between sessions, you implement, reflect, and bring your discoveries back to continue the learning cycle.

I work with leaders facing challenges like transitioning to people management, navigating complex stakeholder relationships, building leadership teams, or leading contractors and distributed teams.

Sometimes our conversations are more strategic in nature, helping you map complex terrain in your leadership context to determine the right direction forward.

Other conversations are developmental, and work on leveraging your untapped potential as a human to expand your capabilities in ways that spillover to all areas of your life.

Since leadership challenges rarely exist in isolation, our work naturally extends to life transitions, relationships, health, creativity, and integrating spirituality into daily life and work. We focus the engagement by choosing one primary goal and working with one challenge at a time.

You'll have access to me between sessions via Slack, WhatsApp, or email with typical response time within 24 business hours.

Support includes celebrating wins, strategizing before important conversations, reviewing documents or presentations, and quick calls for interviews or meetings. We'll find creative ways to meet your needs within my capacity.

We become what we practice. Sessions often include brief mindfulness practices - body scans, grounding exercises, or other techniques to help you arrive with more presence and clarity.

Based on our work together, I may suggest specific practices between sessions to embody what we're exploring. For example, a short meditation practice if consistency is a challenge, or breathing techniques before difficult conversations.

No prior experience with meditation or spiritual practices is required. Our work together can be a space to explore these tools, or we can focus entirely on other approaches. All practices are optional but often transformative.

Most clients notice internal shifts within the first month, but it takes about three months to gain perspective on how these changes are impacting both work and personal life. Around six months, people in your life will start commenting on positive changes they see in you. After a year, your life may look completely different.

I don't make guarantees - I make commitments. I commit to showing up with full presence, listening deeply, and engaging honestly. I commit to challenging you when needed and believing in your potential, not your limitations.

No outcomes can be guaranteed, but we take our commitments seriously while holding them lightly. When commitments are broken, we own the consequences and use them as learning opportunities. I'll model this accountability and ask the same of you. This dynamic has significant impact on how you show up in your leadership.

Therapy typically focuses on processing the past to improve present functioning. Coaching works with your current reality to create a better future than you'd achieve by default. Both approaches overlap in their understanding of human growth and share some methods.

Coaching is not psychotherapy. If you're experiencing acute mental health challenges, I recommend working with a qualified mental health professional. I can help connect you with appropriate resources if needed.

I also facilitate workshops and groups, support self-managing teams in developing healthy collaboration patterns, and provide strategic operational leadership that integrates clear processes, connected teams, and value-focused AI implementation.

If any of these services align with your needs, let's talk.
