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!

Peter and I also did some exercises talking about values and how they impact long term career (and life!) success. Working with Peter has made me much more confident that I can continue to find and do meaningful work without sacrificing my sanity. He is also just a great guy. I would recommend him to anyone.

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.

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.
