WHOLE HUMAN STUDIO

Coaching for senior technology leaders

You’ve succeeded by pushing through. That’s stopped working.

For the people who run engineering in Seattle and across the Eastside — Principal engineers, directors, and VPs carrying too much.

In 30 minutes, get a clear read on what's actually wearing you down — and one concrete thing to try. Free, no pitch.

The clearest thinking rarely happens at your desk.

For 20+ years I’ve led the most complex technical programs at the largest cloud hyperscalers. I’ve risen to Principal-level and know what it is to operate under constant load — and what it quietly costs.

Whole Human Studio is where senior leaders set that load down long enough to think clearly. Some of that happens in a focused session; some of it happens on a trail, away from the screen, where there's finally room to think.

I'm here to help you get steady enough that the height you're already at stops costing you everything.

Ways to work together

Everything starts with a free conversation. From there, as much or as little as fits.

Preliminary Dialogue

Free · 30 minutes · online
Bring the one thing you can’t put down. We’ll get a clear read on it and see whether working together makes sense — no pitch, no obligation.

A Single Session

$350–$450 · 75–90 minutes
Two formats: the Foundation Session (90 min, in person or Zoom) to find where the load is highest and leave with a plan — or the Grounded Dialogue, a 75-minute walking session on a quiet Eastside trail, thinking away from the screen.

The Integrative Series

$1,800 · six sessions over three months
Rebuild the daily rhythm that holds under real pressure — with methods you keep using long after we’re done.

Not ready to book a call? Start with the read.

The Signal Check is a two-minute, anonymous self-assessment — no name, no email, nothing to sign up for. It looks at your last two weeks across three things: your body, your work, and whether you ever really switch off. You’ll get a straight read on where you’re holding steady and where you’re running hot, on screen the moment you finish.

One conversation to see if coaching fits.

The Preliminary Dialogue is a free 30-minute call — no pitch, no obligation. Bring the one thing you can't put down; we'll get a clear read on it and figure out whether working together makes sense. Pick a time below.

Questions before you book?

If you're weighing whether this is worth your time, just ask. Maybe you want to know how the walking sessions actually work, or what a first session looks like, or you've got a scheduling question — whatever it is, this is the place.

No pressure and no obligation. I read every note myself, and what you send stays between us.
