Coaching
for purposeful ventures

Your time and attention are

the fundamental currencies in this life.

Why hire me as a coach?

I will help you invest your time and attention in meaningful ways.

Offer to pay only what you want: I aim to become the most effective coach in the Bay Area, however, I will consider any reasonable offer when it comes to prices for my services.

Genuine connection & growth: I am deeply curious about people and driven by a passion for supporting individuals as they learn, grow (in mind, body, and spirit), and transform. I value building authentic relationships over mere transactions.

Real-world startup acumen: Having served in Director roles in both Engineering and Operations, reporting directly to founders and CEOs at five distinct startups, I bring a wealth of firsthand perspective on navigating high-stress, high-uncertainty environments – much like yours.

Innovative frameworks for designing and crafting your life: My PhD and MS from Stanford's Design Division (Mechanical Engineering) equipped me with systematic tools for concept development, new product introduction, and decision analysis. I've found that these rigorous, creative approaches, often used for technical challenges, can be powerfully applied to design a more purposeful and effective personal and professional life.

Guaranteed results: If we do not accomplish these things for you by the end of your 3rd session, I'll send your money back.

• come to grips with what truly matters to you

• articulate a personal and professional vision for your future self

• candidly examine your current situation

• plot a course from 'here' to 'there'

• take your first steps on the path

Still unconvinced about getting a coach?

I'll support your work to seek meaning, so you can answer YES to these 4 questions:

1. Do you know what will matter to you in the end?

2. Do you feel alignment between your deepest values and your daily activities?

3. Are you delivering for yourself and your loved ones anywhere near your full potential?

4. Do you fall asleep with a sense of gratitude, and curiosity or eagerness for the next day?

Your circumstances

Are you navigating the demanding world of startups, product development, or technical management and feeling a disconnect between your daily efforts and a deeper sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy?

Do you aspire to reach your full potential, not just in your venture, but in how you live and lead?

If this status quo doesn't sit right with you, perhaps it's time for a new approach.

My invitation

I invite you to consider a professional coaching partnership designed to help you forge that vital link between your ambitions and your core purpose. To begin, we can book an initial block of three sessions. Our primary goals during this time will be to:

1. Articulate a detailed and inspiring vision for your future life and work.

2. Candidly and courageously examine your current situation and what truly matters most to you.

3. Begin exploring how to translate your deepest values into actionable steps.

What is a coaching relationship all about?

I believe a good coaching relationship should deliver in each of the following areas...

• Articulating what is deeply meaningful

• Choosing goals and aims to deliver that meaning

• Candidly perceiving our current situation

• Identifying or creating paths from here to there

• Intentionally committing to how we spend our time and attention

• Holding ourselves accountable
