I spent thirty years in tech — building software, running teams, untangling complicated projects. Though it was never really the software that held me. It was the people.

These days that's the whole job — sometimes a room full of people at an event, sometimes one founder across a table. Either way, I have no interest in fixing anyone.

The pressure to fix ourselves is usually what's causing the exhaustion in the first place. When we stop forcing it, the noise drops and the clarity we need tends to surface on its own.

People usually reach out to me for a few specific reasons:

  • To have me speak at an event or corporate retreat.
  • To have a conversation on a podcast.
  • To explore having a private sounding board because you sense that clarity doesn't come from bracing harder, but from a more natural place.


If any of that sounds like what you need, or if something you read here simply resonated, you're welcome to reach out.

Just write me a note.
