What we'll cover
Our Why
Decades of experience in companies like Amazon, Apple, Nike, and higher education have offered us unique insights into what makes people successful and happy.
Professionally, we are coaches who have helped clients from young adults, new graduates, to mid-career professionals and executives to navigate their careers and find more meaning in what they do and who they are becoming.
As parents we believe we have to have a different conversation about college, career and adulting. We call this "careering". A career is an action verb, it lasts a lifetime, therefore we have to develop an adaptive strategy to keep growing as individuals.
We like to share our insights with you.
