Coaching for High Performers in Tech

High performers in tech are drowning in work and second-guessing everything. I fix that.

Using The Persona Method, we give your self-doubt a name, a face, and a door to show it out of — so you can stop overthinking and start executing.

What clients say

Prior to starting my work with Mike, I had struggled with impostor syndrome and self-esteem both professionally and personally. I was finding it difficult to switch off from work and make the most out of life. He worked with me on setting strong boundaries and a number of exercises to rebuild my confidence and push past my comfort zone. After working with Mike, I am less anxious and have a much better sense of self and feel more fulfilled both in work and outside.

Before starting coaching with Mike, I was dealing (or not dealing) with a disorganized backlog and a messy TODO list. My approach was unstructured and largely unintentional. Mike helped me, not by imposing some sort of rigid or generic method, but by asking the right questions and helping me see how my mind works and how I can use it to my advantage, rather than working against it. No matter how much or how little I think I'm dealing with going into a session, I'm always grateful I talked with Mike afterward. I never fail to walk away with an epiphany or two.

Matt JuhlSenior Engineer

When I started coaching with Mike I was in the middle of a traumatic custody battle that was monopolizing my entire life. It felt impossible to see outside of the tunnel I was in and focus on other important elements of my life that needed attention. In our coaching sessions Mike would ask questions that got me to think outside of the trauma and break down complicated decisions and tasks in a way that made them easier to accomplish. He helped me find ways to manage the all consuming part of my life so that I could still be a successful mother and employee in my job, as well as focus on myself and addressing my own needs. Now after successfully making it through my court battle he is helping me look past it all and make new life goals leaving the trauma behind me.

Ways to work together

Different entry points, same through-line: identify what's keeping you stuck, break it down, and build momentum through small executable steps.

1:1 Coaching

For high performers in tech dealing with overwhelm, burnout, career transitions, and the creeping feeling that you're capable of more than you're currently doing.

Using The Persona Method and Agile-based frameworks, we name what's holding you back, break your situation into manageable steps, and build a version of you that executes without the second-guessing.

Agile & Team Coaching

Support for tech teams where the process looks right on paper but feels broken in practice — misalignment, communication friction, and ceremonies nobody believes in.

The focus is on people over process: clearer expectations, safer conversations, and experiment-driven improvements that fit your actual context.

Web & Systems

Lightweight websites, tools, and integrations that support the changes you're trying to make — without becoming another system to resent.

Work spans modern web stacks, small internal tools, and systems that make it easier to live your new patterns, not just talk about them.

The Persona Method

Most coaching tells you to push through self-doubt. This is different.

We give your self-doubt a human name. We build it out — its personality, its triggers, what it says when you're about to present to leadership or ship something that matters.

Then we teach you to interact with it directly. To recognize when it walks in the room. And to tell it, clearly and without apology, that it's not welcome right now.

Combined with an Agile-based breakdown of your situation into small, executable steps — this is how high performers in tech go from paralyzed to executing.
