Who this is for

You may recognize your situation here.

You've been laid off and want to decide your next move.

The calendar is suddenly open. The question is what to do with it.

You're considering a career change but aren't sure which direction to take.

You've built real expertise. The question is how to apply it to something that matters more.

You want to keep contributing, with more purpose and better balance.

The role still works. The life around it needs rethinking.

A major change in your personal life has prompted you to reconsider your priorities.

Career, relationships, and identity are all in motion at once. A clear perspective helps.

Coaching is not only for executives who have already lost their jobs. Men who are employed, founders, and business owners also do this work.

About Brett

My own transitions shaped the coach I am today.

I spent 25 years in corporate leadership — building organizations, leading teams, navigating the kind of decisions that don't have obvious answers. That experience gives me a working understanding of what executives and business owners actually face.

I've also navigated four significant transitions of my own: a layoff, a divorce, a profound personal loss, and a complete career reinvention. My doctoral research in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and my ICF coaching credential give me a framework. Living through those transitions gave me something a framework can't: genuine perspective on what it takes to move through them.

FAQ

Common questions.

Who is this coaching for?

Men in midlife navigating a career or life transition — layoff, career change, a desire for more purpose, or a personal change that's prompted them to reconsider their direction. You don't need to have lost a job to benefit. Many of my clients are still employed.

Can I work with Brett while still employed?

Yes. Many of my clients begin coaching while they are still working — using the time to think clearly about what they want next before a transition forces the decision.

Do sessions take place online?

Yes. Sessions are conducted by video call.

What happens during the introductory conversation?

We spend 30 minutes talking about where you are, what you're navigating, and what you'd like to accomplish. There's no obligation and no pitch. If coaching seems like a good fit, we can talk about what that would look like.

What does coaching cost?

Private coaching is $9,000 for a six-month engagement. The agreement is cancelable and refundable if your circumstances change. If you'd like to talk through what's included and whether it makes sense, the introductory conversation is the right place to start.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Coaching focuses on goals, decisions, and forward movement — not on diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. If what you're navigating includes significant anxiety, depression, or grief, a therapist may be a better fit, or a complement to coaching. I'm glad to discuss that openly during our conversation.

You don't need to have it all figured out before we talk.

Tell me what's happening and what you'd like to change. We'll explore whether working together makes sense.
