COACHING THROUGH TRANSITIONS

Every transition in life asks us to let go of something to create space for what’s next. The in-between is a crossroads where the risk of feeling stuck meets the profound possibility of growth.

Are you contemplating a career pivot, taking on a new role, navigating disruptive change, or just yearning for more? Together, we’ll explore your possibilities to find direction that feels authentic and fulfilling while we honor the emotions of the moment and create meaning in your evolving identity.

What do you want to learn, change, or create? What have you been tolerating or quietly postponing?

Coaching offers a space to slow down, challenge the status quo, and reconnect with what matters. Let’s create a path that feels authentic, aligned, and fully yours.

My Background

I led technology teams at Etsy, Spotify, Universal Music Group, and EMI Music for more than two decades as a people-centered leader, creating and operationalizing strategy, problem-solving, and fostering a culture where everyone could show up and flourish. Now I work alongside people navigating transitions and support them in doing so with intention and courage.

I believe leadership is a lifelong journey for everyone, and I’m here to help you rediscover the courage to be who you want to be and create the life you want to lead. Together, we’ll stretch your sightlines, venture out of your comfort zone, and grow in ways that transform your career and your life.

 

As a trained Co-Active coach (ACC and CPCC certifications in progress), I guide clients through life’s complexities using a framework that fosters growth, self-discovery, and purpose. I create spaces for belonging, deep connection, and transformative change, drawing on my experiences as a leader, artist, and human.

I'm also a hospice volunteer and an end-of-life doula. Death is a transition that we all experience, both personally and through the passing of those we love. If you are working through grief, know that you don't have to do so alone.

I live with my wife and our dogs and cats in the Hudson Valley of New York, surrounded by the beauty of nature. I infuse my work with grounding and curiosity, helping me connect with clients as whole people.

Fees and Logistics

My coaching rate is $300 for 60-min individual coaching sessions.

Clients who choose this option often prefer this for its flexibility and are invoiced after each session.

I offer a series of discounted packages, in groups of 3, 6 or 12 sessions
that can be paid upfront, in monthly increments, or invoiced against corporate learning budgets.

These are a great way to deepen the work over time. At the end of the package,

clients can choose whether to continue or complete the coaching.

I believe deeply in making coaching accessible to people from

a wide range of life experiences and financial circumstances
so if cost is a concern, please reach out so we can find a path forward together.

Coaching begins with a complimentary consultation call to decide whether it’s a good fit for both of us. If it is, then we hold a 90 minute discovery session to design the coaching alliance, discuss relevant context, hone in on our focus areas, and begin to explore our work together. After that, you come to each 60 minute coaching session (~twice monthly cadence) with a topic to work on towards your focus areas, and usually leave each session with some field work to apply what was worked on. Active coaching packages include access to text/email support between sessions.

Testimonials

"Working with Shawn proved to be a pivotal experience for me. I found myself guiding a leader through a significant transformation in their communication, a task that initially overwhelmed me due to its complexity and the multitude of possible approaches. However, Shawn played a crucial role in bolstering my confidence and actively engaged with me to refine a strategy that rapidly and efficiently delivered results."
