The Manager You Wish You Had
You’re good at your job. That doesn’t mean it’s working for you.
Maybe you're ready to leave. Maybe you just became the boss. Maybe it all looks fine on paper, but Sundays still feel bad. That's what my coaching clients brought. These days I write about it instead.
What clients said
“Peter listened and made me feel heard. In addition to being empathetic, he's extremely practical. Working with Peter has made me much more confident that I can continue to find and do meaningful work without sacrificing my sanity.”
“Whether it's about the nitty gritty, a major shift in perspective or a blank page, Peter will meet you where you are. With no judgement, a creative mind and a ton of experience, Peter will help devise a result-oriented approach that works.”
“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.”
What people came in with
The guides are still here, and still free to read.
I want to leave. I don’t know what comes next.

See what a session was like →How it worked
People brought what was on their mind. We took it from there.
Talk through the problem
What was happening, including the bits that didn’t seem to matter. Then what they wanted to be different.
Make a plan
Something to try that week: a conversation, a boundary, a closer look at a role they hadn’t considered.
Do the plan
Try it. See what happened. Use what they learned to decide what came next.
