Who is it for?

Are you looking for something new but having a hard time pinning down what’s exactly right for you? Thinking about a new role? Transitioning to some extended time off? 

For those looking to plan for a milestone change or just understand more clearly where they’re at now in order to understand what options align with their values, this coaching is for you.

Let’s work together

Depending on the transition you’re considering and how soon you’d like this to happen, we’ll work for at least 3 months together. Often, we work together through the transition so that you have the support you need.

Framing a professional transition so that it feels right and aligned to what’s important to you can be tough to sort out. In our work together we’ll focus on understanding the things you want and don’t want in your future, and any new learning or more importantly, unlearning, that needs to happen for you to get to the next step in your career.

We’ll get super clear on what your goals are, big or small, along with small actions to take towards them while measuring our progress along the way.

What clients say about us

“Working with Jason was an invaluable part of my transition out of a difficult professional situation. He listened, he prompted me with thoughtful questions, and he helped me realize my own strengths and understand my needs differently than I could have on my own. Having now moved to a new role, I continue to work with Jason to keep myself focused on my growth outside of my current role.”

“Working with Jason was exactly what was needed at the time. He was supportive in meeting me where I was at in each session, also providing resources and checking in between sessions. His spirit of self-inquiry and personal grace provided a nurturing and creative space to explore my professional goals.”

“Jason helped me magnify the attention I placed on some desired changes. Over the course of working together, I was able to let go of a long-standing desire for certainty and embrace the unfolding present in my career. This has had a subtle but important impact: it frees up mental space previously used for worry and self-judgement, allowing me to be more present in my work.”

“A friend introduced me to Jason at a point where I was really feeling stuck in my career. I knew where I wanted to go but I was lacking the tools to get there. Jason helped me build out a toolbox that could play to my existing strengths as a leader while also shoring up the areas where I wasn’t as strong. His method of asking questions, digging deeper, and focus on building from past successes helped reinforce the ideas he was teaching and built up my confidence for when I faced a new challenge or situation. After each session, I’d get an email with articles to read or videos to watch that helped give even more diverse viewpoints on the topics we discussed during the session.
Jason is someone I know I can always go back to if I feel like I am stuck or plateauing and I know we’ll be able to find a path forward.”

“I met Jason earlier this year when we were in the same learning group of Seth Godin’s altMBA. I enjoyed his perspective and learned so much with him during those four weeks, that I wanted to continue and start a coaching relationship. I was looking for someone outside my organization to help me explore things from a different perspective and challenge me. Initially, I started working with Jason on a long-term plan to transition to a new career in 2022. Within a month, all of our lives and my industry were shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic. Jason coached me through this stressful time, helping me to identify habits and thought processes to manage this stress.

Jason also helped me build the confidence to make a huge decision to take a leap and start a new career sooner than I’d originally planned. When my employer offered buyouts to cut costs due to the pandemic, I struggled with the decision. He recommended some excellent material and asked many coaching questions to help me make a decision that aligned with my values and goals. Also, I have a tendency to be self-critical, and Jason helped point out blind spots and made me realize how that was getting in my way.

Jason’s style of coaching was the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge for me. I would recommend his services to anyone stuck in a rut or navigating a career change.”

“Our coaching sessions helped me focus and remember the joy I found in work, and inspired me to think that I might have that again someday. It also highlighted the work that I need to do to get there.
The sessions were motivating and encouraging in helping me to focus on my professional journey moving forward.”
