Erin's Journey

Before

When Erin first came to me, she was overwhelmed with grief and regret. As a recovering public defender, she couldn't see a path forward in her career. The stress had become unbearable, and she felt stuck in a cycle of frustration and uncertainty.

The Transformation

Together, we worked on practical strategies tailored to Erin's specific situation. We drafted communications that helped her take on more responsibility in her current role without coming across as accusatory. We also explored her core values and how they could guide her career decisions moving forward.

After

Today, Erin approaches her work with renewed confidence. She's taken on projects that align with her values and strengths, and she's established boundaries that protect her wellbeing. Most importantly, she now believes she can find meaningful work without sacrificing her sanity.

"When I first started working with Peter, I was absolutely lost. I was so deep in grief and regret that I could not see a path forward in my career. I also felt so much shame and couldn't talk to people about what I was going through. Peter listened and made me feel heard.

In addition to being empathetic, he's extremely practical. I wanted to take on more responsibility in my current role but did not know how to ask in a way that wasn't accusatory. Peter helped me draft an email to my supervisor that made the ask but also had the appropriate tone. My supervisor was receptive and I was able to take on a larger project. This significantly improved my day-to-day experience at my current position; work definitely sucks less now!

Working with Peter has made me much more confident that I can continue to find and do meaningful work without sacrificing my sanity."

Gabe's Journey

Before

Gabe, a senior software engineer, was at a crossroads in his tech career. He had the technical skills to succeed but was struggling to navigate the next steps in the industry. The uncertainty was causing stress and making it difficult to move forward with confidence.

The Transformation

Our work together focused on clarifying Gabe's career direction and developing a strategic approach to his job search. We tailored his resume to highlight his most relevant skills and connected him with industry professionals who could provide valuable insights.

After

Gabe now approaches his career with clarity and purpose. He's positioned himself effectively in the job market and has the tools to continue advancing in his chosen direction. The uncertainty has been replaced with a clear vision and actionable steps.

"Peter's coaching was instrumental in navigating my next steps in the tech industry – he kept me moving in the direction I want for my career, striking the right balance between the ideal and practical.

Peter has a unique ability to ask insightful questions that get beyond the surface-level to the core issues. Peter expertly guided me through the job search process including tailoring my resume to fit my target role and connecting me with folks in the industry. I highly recommend Peter."

JH's Journey

Before

JH came to me feeling lost about their career direction. As a manager, they were uncertain about their current role and unclear about where they wanted to go next. This lack of clarity was affecting their confidence and job satisfaction.

The Transformation

Over tea, we worked together to translate JH's feelings and concerns into a coherent vision for their career. We focused on both immediate growth in their current role and exploration of future possibilities.

After

Today, JH approaches their work with renewed purpose. They've grown in their current management role while also developing a clear vision for their next career step. Additionally, they've taken the lessons from our sessions and applied them to mentoring others.

"I came to Peter at a junction - I felt like I didn't know what I was doing, nor where I wanted to go. Meeting over tea, Pete helped me translate my feelings and concerns over my career path into a coherent image.

Together, Pete has encouraged me to grow in my current role while also discovering what I want for my next step. Pete has helped me tackle applications, craft cover letters in my own words, and imagine a world where work doesn't suck (as much).

I've also taken Pete's lessons - from sessions and his blog - into my role as a career mentor to others. The sessions have paid dividends.

I think the thing that I love about working with Pete is that he understands me as a person - my background, my interests, my concerns, and he treats everyone with grace, humor, and firm care."
