Leadership Coaching,
Executive Coaching,
Creative Coaching

There's a shift you're burning to make.

You can feel it within you: a spark demanding you fan it into flame.

A change in your life, a new direction in your career, or a major leap forward in your creative practice.

Maybe your job has become mis-aligned with your deepest values.

Or maybe as a founder or executive, you’re feeling stagnant or burned out.

Or you're struggling to find a clear path forward in your creative life.

Or you're dealing with a lack of energy and focus that keeps you from achieving that next-level work you know you're capable of.

I can help.

My coaching practice is focused on enabling technical and business leaders, startup founders, and creative professionals to step into their full potential.

I understand your struggles — I've lived them, and I've coached others through them.

I've been a leader in the software development industry for nearly 20 years, managing large teams, growing emerging leaders, and building successful organizations — I was a founding member of the team at Hootsuite.

I'm also a published fiction writer who's received national-level recognition, a former fiction editor at a literary magazine, and a creative writing teacher who's helped dozens of writers shape and publish their stories.

As your coach, I can help you find your way to a rewarding life-affirming career and a truly transformative artistic life.

“I’d recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a career coach or life coach. He tailored the sessions to me, continually checked in with me, and worked with me to ensure I got the most out of it. Since our sessions, I’ve felt tangible positive effects of his coaching in many aspects of my life. If you’re ready to learn more about yourself with the help of an insightful, compassionate, and thoughtful coach, book some sessions with Jeff. It’s an excellent opportunity to invest in yourself.”
