Professional Coaching
So many issues can cause stress or burnout at work. You may feel overwhelmed with an unrealistic workload, or perhaps you’re unsure how to deal with challenging relationships. Through professional coaching I can help you get clarity about which problems are in or out of your control, and how to tackle specific issues to lead to career success.
Improving Your Personal Productivity
If you struggle with procrastination and have competing priorities, you’re not alone. I’ll help you clarify your priorities, figure out what your obstacles are, and help you develop strategies to overcome them. In order to build your own best practices, we will draw from findings in behavioral economics and neuropsychology.
Advancing and growing your current career can take many shapes. For you, it may mean moving up in your organizational hierarchy, a different job title, or better pay. But it can also be less tangible: you might increase your job satisfaction by enhancing your skill set, moving towards leadership, or mastering more complex and meaningful projects.
From Stagnancy to Professional Advancement
Advancing and growing your current career can take many shapes. For you, it may mean moving up in your organizational hierarchy, a different job title, or better pay. But it can also be less tangible: you might increase your job satisfaction by enhancing your skill set, moving towards leadership, or mastering more complex and meaningful projects. If you’re ready for more meaning and satisfaction in your current career, I can help you develop your vision, decide what’s next, and take concrete steps to get there.

From Procrastination to Productivity
If you struggle with procrastination and have competing priorities, you’re not alone. I’ll help you clarify your priorities, figure out what your obstacles are, and help you develop strategies to overcome them. In order to build your own best practices, we will draw from findings in behavioral economics and neuropsychology. (Here is a selection of books and research articles that have been influential to my practice).
How Does Professional Coaching Work?
We will start with an initial in-depth assessment of your goals, your work situation, your strengths and the potential obstacles you are facing. A part of this initial assessment will happen during our sessions together, and a part of it will be homework for you in between our meetings.
Based on this initial assessment, we will develop a practical plan to improve your performance in a sustainable way. We will take into account findings from decision science, neuroscience, and psychology to optimize your systems and routines.
While you start new practices, we will keep analyzing how these are working out for you. I will help you trouble-shoot and fine-tune so you can strengthen and master your habits.

“Increasing Personal Productivity in Healthy and Sustainable Ways” highlights findings in neuroscience and psychology that teach us how to improve cognitive functioning, make better decisions, increase focus, etc. The workbook will help you apply these insights to your own goals. We will pull from these findings when we come up with ideas of how you can improve your own performance.
