Who an organisation hires has a direct impact on its bottom line, and for the person making the move, it's one of the biggest decisions they'll make in their career. I started coaching people through that decision almost by accident, because it was part of doing the job properly. I quickly realised how much I enjoyed it, and how much clarity and better decision-making I could bring by coaching and advising people through those moments, not just processing them through a pipeline.
Cut forward to the last couple of years. I was offered coaching myself, and it transformed my whole career. It was the same kind of rigorous, honest thinking I'd spent years learning to offer other people, and experiencing it properly, from the other side, made the decision for me. That's the actual reason I do this now.
I left corporate in January 2026 to do that work directly, rather than staffing the process from the outside. I'm currently completing my executive coaching training at ACT, Brown University and building the kind of hiring-informed coaching I wish I'd had access to earlier myself.
I'm not a career coach who has read about hiring, or one who coaches without ever having been coached. I ran the process at scale inside the companies making the decisions, and I've been coached myself, at a real inflection point. That's the difference in the room.
