COACHING

Find, develop, and unapologetically express your authentic self. You know you have more in you than what's currently coming out. Maybe you can feel it and can't name it. Maybe you named it years ago and put it away for something more sensible. Either way, you're standing at a threshold. With 1:1 coaching, I provide actionable tools, grounded in inner and outer work, that help clear what's in the way, so the real you can fully show up.

INWARDS & UPWARDS: THE PRACTICE
OF UNBOUND SELF-EXPRESSION.

This is for anyone who suspects there's more of them than what's currently getting out. At any age. With any title. Or crazy dream.

Perhaps life has started to feel like you've been performing a version of yourself that's stopped fitting, one you built, or one someone else handed you. You're ready to find out what's underneath it, so you can reunite with the childlike wonder you gave up for adulting.

Maybe that shows up as feeling stuck, directionless, or burnt out. A job that pays well but doesn't light you up, or never did. Or, maybe you used to create things, or write things, or play things, and can't remember when you stopped, or why.

Creativity, an inherent muscle inside us all, is one of the truest ways there, but it's the vehicle, not the destination. Unbound self-expression is the master key that unlocks it.

Unlike creative coaches who cater to those who already identify as creative, or talk therapists and transformational coaches who rarely touch creativity at all, this practice treats self-expression as the one key that opens both doors.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

The purpose, freedom, and joy you're looking for are usually closer than you think. My role is to help you stop looking past them and transition from being a seeker to a finder.

People aren't linear, so the work isn't either. What I bring is a framework built from a lifetime of trying, failing, teaching, and studying what actually helps: Identification, Inspiration, Expression, Connection, and the nurturing practices that let you sustain it all over a lifetime.

Every engagement starts with a conversation. From there, the shape of the work depends on what you need, a 3-month practice built around part of the framework, or a longer arc that moves through more of it at once.

Together, we'll get clarity on what lights you up, your non-negotiables, and your North Star, with real steps to move toward it. From there, we go wherever the real magic is.

Practically, sessions occur on a regular cadence, typically every two weeks, with something to sit with or practice between calls. How many sessions, and over what stretch of time, gets set together, based on what you're working through, not a package picked in advance.

  • "I went into this with some serious skepticism, but it took no time at all for me to realize just how powerful Chad's insights and guidance truly were. He helped me find real clarity about my ambitions and gave me practical tools for making the right decisions to reach them. Those decisions have been paying dividends ever since."

  • "Chad helped me broaden my horizons while sharpening my focus. That might sound scientifically impossible, but once you've been through this eye-opening experience for yourself, it all makes perfect sense. I found that the direction and answers I'd been seeking were right in front of my face; I just needed someone to help me recognize them and go after them."

  • “This work gave me renewed hope that I could create a career for myself based on what I love doing. It helped me define the non-negotiables I need in a job to be truly happy and fulfilled. Chad kept me focused and motivated.”

  • "When I decided to work with Chad, I wasn't satisfied with my current job and career. I felt stuck. This work helped me rethink what really made me feel good in the workplace and gave me a set of tools to reach my goals. It's been four months since we finished working together. In that time, I've become a freelancer. I work fewer hours, make my own schedule, and finally have time for my own projects."

  • “Stepping into a new career path, this work helped me sharpen my focus and identify my personal vision. It also helped me chart a map for where I wanted to go and gave me pragmatic navigational tools for steering a steady course. These tools were things I came back to again and again, whenever I hit rocky waters of doubt. Throughout the process, Chad's warmth, humor, and insight gave me the confidence I needed to step into my new role.”

SO, HOW DID I GET HERE?

My childhood dream became reality at 32. I'd worked with some of the best creative companies in the world. On paper, I'd made it. In practice, I'd become someone else to get there, and I didn't know how to find my way back. And then I found my footing, and everything started to change for the better.
