By every measure, you've made it. Director. VP. Partner. The title. The comp. The reputation. Your LinkedIn looks perfect.
And yet you're restless. You catch yourself wondering: Is this it? What if I started something? What if I made a completely different move? What would my peers think?
The golden handcuffs are real. You've spent 15+ years building this career. Walking away feels impossible. Staying feels unbearable.
You need more than a career coach. You need strategic counsel from someone who's been where you are.
Most executive coaches mean well. But they fall into one of two camps:
The Therapists: They want to explore your childhood and unpack limiting beliefs. That's valuable work—but it's not strategy. You need someone who can help you make actual decisions, not just feel better about indecision.
The Cheerleaders: They left corporate at senior

The Therapists: They want to explore your childhood and unpack limiting beliefs. That's valuable work—but it's not strategy. You need someone who can help you make actual decisions, not just feel better about indecision.
The Cheerleaders: They left corporate at senior manager and think making partner is the pinnacle. When you tell them you're considering walking away from a $300K salary, they don't get it. They've never been in your seat.
You need someone who understands both the corporate game and what lies beyond it. Someone who's made the leap—and the mistakes—so you don't have to.
I work with executives using a structured framework called The Transition Navigator. It's not therapy. It's not open-ended "coaching conversations." It's a consulting-style engagement designed to help you make the right move with clarity and confidence.

I work with executives using a structured framework called The Transition Navigator. It's not therapy. It's not open-ended "coaching conversations." It's a consulting-style engagement designed to help you make the right move with clarity and confidence.
What makes this different:
• Structured process: 4 clear phases over 3-6 months (Discover → Design → Decide → Deploy)
• Homework & exercises: Tangible assignments between sessions, not just "think about it"
• Decision frameworks: Tools to evaluate paths with your head and your gut
• Real experience: I've led enterprise sales orgs, acquired businesses, and made expensive mistakes
• No judgment: Whether you stay, leave, pivot, or launch—we figure out YOUR right answer
This isn't about finding yourself. It's about making the right move and doing it right.
My engagements follow a structured 4-phase methodology. No wandering conversations. No endless "discovery." Just focused work that moves you from uncertainty to action.
Phase 1: DISCOVER (Weeks 1-3)
Uncover the full truth of where you are and what you're actually optimizing for. We map your leadership timeline, force-rank your values, and
