WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

I coach and advise leaders. I've also hired them.

I came to coaching from 20+ years leading talent acquisition: building and transforming recruiting functions, coaching high-performing teams, evaluating leaders, and advising executives on the talent decisions that shape their teams. After realizing that the most meaningful part of leadership to me is helping others catalyze their growth and change, I became certified as an executive coach through the Hudson Institute.

That combination is what you get when we work together. The coaching training gives me a rigorous way to help you explore, learn, and achieve meaningful growth. The talent background adds context: how leaders are assessed, how organizations decide who advances, and what it takes to become a leader that people, teams, organizations want to follow..

THE PROCESS

Simple to start. Built to move things forward.

Every engagement is different — but the path from conversation to clarity follows a consistent shape.

1
Start with a free conversation
A 30-minute call to talk through where you are, what you're navigating, and whether working together is the right fit. No pitch, no pressure.
2
Build the foundation
We establish a clear baseline: your goals, current positioning, and the specific gaps we're working against. This becomes the architecture of the engagement.
3
Move forward with structure
Regular sessions with a clear arc. Not open-ended conversations, but a designed process with direction, accountability, and milestones that show up in the real world.

MEET JON

Two decades in leadership. Now in your corner.

I pair Hudson-certified executive coaching with 20+ years of talent acquisition leadership. I’ve built recruiting functions, evaluated and hired leadership teams, and advised executives on the talent decisions that shape careers, so my coaching is grounded in both how people grow and how organizations decide. I know how hiring decisions actually get made, and what separates professionals and leaders who advance from those who plateau.

My philosophy is simple: clarity comes before confidence. Leaders and professionals alike are rarely short on drive. What they lack is an honest picture of where they are, what they genuinely bring, and where they want to go.

For executives, that clarity sharpens how they lead and influence. For professionals in transition, it sharpens how they position and compete. Either way, we engage with candor, structure, and a plan grounded in both their aspirations and the realities of their organization or market.

Every engagement is customized, but the throughline is consistent. I meet clients where they are, challenge the assumptions keeping them from moving forward, and help them build the clarity, language, and strategy to lead and compete at the level they're capable of.

CLIENT RESULTS

What working together looks like—in their words.

“My coaching experience with Jon was transformative! He provided me with a safe and confidential space in which to explore a number of challenges I was facing as a leader and to help me realize how I could navigate in other directions and find solutions. I would recommend him to others and have already offered his services to my leadership team.”
Sara, Director
OutcomeSuccessful integration of multiple business units
“Jon is an absolutely stellar executive coach, one that I would recommend without hesitation. Before working with Jon, I felt unenthusiastic in my career, lacking direction, frequently ‘stuck’ and unclear on the issue or how to resolve it. Through our coaching sessions, Jon asked the right questions to help me rapidly gain clarity on my career direction, digging deep to find my mix of strengths and passions and clearly articulate my career goals.”
