From Doubt to Direction

A 10-session decision-making intensive for analytical professionals who want immediate relief from decision paralysis AND strategic support for smart transitions.

Stop overthinking.
Start deciding.
Trust your analytical superpowers.

the problem

Every month you spend stuck in indecision costs you:

  • Lost opportunities while you "research"

  • Mental energy spent on endless rumination

  • Confidence eroded by second-guessing

  • Sleep disrupted by 3am anxiety spirals

  • Relationships strained by work stress

How much is staying stuck REALLY costing you?

the solution

What If Your Analytical Nature Became Your Decision-Making Superpower?

Traditional decision-making approaches (pros/cons lists, endless research, asking everyone's opinion) fail because they don't account for the human element: your values, your context, your unique situation.

Design thinking was created specifically for solving big hairy problems. Originally developed to tackle complex design challenges like "How do we create a user-friendly smartphone?" or "How do we design a hospital that reduces patient anxiety?" - it's a systematic approach for navigating ambiguity when there's no clear precedent to follow.

Your career transition is the ultimate design challenge: How do you create a professional life that aligns with your values, leverages your strengths, fits your financial needs, AND actually exists in the real world?

Here's how we apply design thinking to your career decisions:

The result?

You move from analysis paralysis to confident action using a proven framework for solving complex problems.

How it Works

  • 1. Empathize (with yourself)

    Build Self-Knowledge & Decide Who to Listen To

    Learn to distinguish between your inner wisdom and the voices of self-doubt. Through values assessment, Positive Intelligence work, and energy mapping, you'll understand what truly matters to you and identify the saboteurs that have been hijacking your decision-making. You'll also reframe your career story from a place of strength rather than self-criticism.

  • 2. Collect strategic data

    Create Your Personal Decision Criteria

    Establish clear guidelines for evaluating any career decision. You'll identify your non-negotiables, define what success looks like on YOUR terms, and replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. This phase gives you the decision-making framework you've been missing—your personal algorithm for confident choices.

  • 3. Generate options

    Generate Possibilities Without Judgment

    Break free from either/or thinking and expand what feels possible. Through creative exercises and mind mapping, you'll generate multiple potential paths forward and design 3-5 realistic scenarios for your future. This is where analysis paralysis transforms into strategic thinking.

  • 4. Prototype + test

    Test Your Options Safely

    Move from theoretical to practical by researching your top options through informational interviews and real-world exploration. You'll gather concrete data about each path and evaluate how well they align with your values framework—no more decisions based on assumptions or fear.

  • 5. Decide + execute

    Make Your Decision & Take Confident Action

    Using everything you've learned, make your clear decision with confidence. Create your action plan, build your support system, and get practical help with resumes, LinkedIn, and interviews as needed. You'll also develop tools for making future decisions with the same clarity and self-trust.

    This framework gives you a systematic approach to career decisions that honors both your analytical nature and your authentic values.

WHATS INCLUDED

Everything you need for safe, effective change

  • Before investing in any coaching relationship, you need to know if we're a good fit. This isn't a sales call—it's a genuine exploration of whether my approach aligns with your needs and communication style.

    During this session, we'll:

    • Identify your specific decision-making patterns and where you get stuck

    • Explore what's really driving your career uncertainty (hint: it's usually deeper than "I don't know what I want")

    • Discuss your timeline and what success looks like for you

    • Determine if the Values-Based Decision Making Framework fits your situation

    • Address any questions about the coaching process

    You'll leave with at least one actionable insight, regardless of whether we work together. No pressure, no hard sell—just clarity about next steps.

  • Each session is designed to move you forward, not just talk in circles. We use the Values-Based Decision Making Framework to transform how you approach every choice.

    Sessions 1-3: Foundation Building

    • Identify your core values and decision-making patterns

    • Uncover hidden assumptions that keep you stuck

    • Build your personal decision-making criteria

    Sessions 4-6: Skills Development

    • Practice making small decisions with confidence

    • Address perfectionism and analysis paralysis

    • Develop your leadership voice and communication style

    Sessions 9-12: Integration & Future-Proofing

    • Apply the framework to your biggest career decisions

    • Support for getting the new job, or thriving where you are, or an action plan for something new

    • Build resilience for future transitions

    Every session includes specific homework and accountability measures. You're not just talking about change—you're actively creating it.

  • Your thoughts and insights are valuable. The private Google folder ensures nothing gets lost and you can see your progress over time.

    What's included:

    • Session notes and key insights from each meeting

    • Your completed homework and reflection exercises

    • Resource documents customized for your situation

    • Templates for decision-making frameworks

    • Progress tracking tools to see how your confidence grows

    Why this matters:

    • You can reference previous insights when facing new decisions

    • Partners or trusted friends can review your progress (with your permission)

    • You have a complete record of your transformation

    • The resources remain yours forever—no lost emails or forgotten insights

    This isn't just file storage—it's a personalized career decision-making library that grows with you.

  • Your brain works differently than everyone else's, and your schedule probably does too. That's why you can customize how we structure our time together.

    Option 1: Deep Dive Sessions

    • 2-hour intensive sessions

    • Perfect for complex decisions that need extended focus

    • Ideal if you prefer fewer, more comprehensive conversations

    • Great for working through detailed scenarios and role-playing

    Option 2: Regular Coaching Rhythm

    • 50-55 minute sessions every other week

    • Allows time to implement changes between sessions

    • Good for building habits gradually

    • Provides consistent accountability and support

    You can also mix both formats depending on what you're working on. Having a major decision to make? Let's do a deep dive. Working on building new habits? Regular sessions might serve you better.

  • Life doesn't pause between coaching sessions. When you're facing a time-sensitive decision or hit an unexpected obstacle, you have multiple ways to get support.

    Available during West Coast business hours (9 AM - 5 PM):

    • Quick email responses for clarifying questions

    • Text support for urgent decisions

    • 10-minute phone calls for immediate guidance

    • Resource sharing when you discover new opportunities

    What this looks like in practice:

    • "Should I respond to this recruiter today?" (Text response within 2 hours)

    • "I'm spiraling about this interview tomorrow" (10-minute call to center yourself)

    • "Found a job posting that seems perfect but..." (Email with framework application)

    Boundaries that serve you:

    • Emergency support is for genuine time-sensitive situations

    • Quick questions get quick answers; complex issues wait for sessions

    • This isn't therapy or crisis counseling—it's decision-making support

    You're never truly alone in this process, even between our scheduled meetings.

  • Total Investment: $3495 for 10 sessions over 5 months

    This isn't just the cost of coaching sessions—it's an investment in fundamentally changing how you make decisions for the rest of your career.

    What this investment covers:

    • 10+ hours of direct coaching (sessions range from 60-120 minutes based on your choice)

    • Unlimited email/text support during business hours

    • Custom homework and resources developed specifically for your situation

    • Private Google folder with lifetime access to all materials

    • 45-minute chemistry session (valued at $200+)

    Put this in perspective:

    • Less than $350 per session when you include all support

    • Equivalent to 1-2 months of many corporate coaching programs

    • Fraction of what career uncertainty costs in lost opportunities, stress, and time

    • Compare to: Executive search firms (15-30% of annual salary), MBA programs ($100K+), or staying stuck for another year

    Payment options available:

    • Full payment

    • 6 x Monthly payments of $699 (1 payment of 749 for $50 set up fee)

    • Custom arrangements considered for exceptional circumstances

    Why this price point: This work requires significant customization, ongoing availability, and deep expertise in both coaching methodology and understanding STEM/tech career landscapes. You're not getting generic career advice—you're getting a complete decision-making transformation tailored to how analytical minds work.

    ROI considerations: Most clients see returns through: salary increases from confident negotiation, faster career transitions (saving months of uncertainty), better role fit leading to higher performance reviews, and reduced stress-related costs (therapy, health impacts, relationship strain).

    Not ready to invest this amount? I respect that this is a significant financial commitment. If the timing isn't right financially, consider whether the cost of staying stuck—in time, opportunity, and peace of mind—might be higher than the investment in change.

Overwhelm, just like calm, is a state of mind, and all you have to do is choose which party you’re going to attend.
