I spent more than 20 years as an intellectual property and entertainment attorney, most of that inside a large entertainment company. For a long time, it was genuinely a dream job. I got to work with some of the most recognizable brands in the world, and I loved the people around me. That part never got old.

But over time, I needed more. And after years of corporate change and restructuring, I knew it was time to figure out what that looked like for me.

I did what I now help other people do: I got serious about what I actually wanted. I made a list of everything that sounded like a real "yes." Coaching kept rising to the top. I talked to someone who had made a similar move, and it clicked. I started researching certification and went from there.

What made me certain? I found an old notebook from around 2019 where I had done a similar exercise years earlier. Coaching was on that list too. Turns out I had been circling this for a while.

I've always loved helping people think through hard things. I just needed the right outlet for it. Coaching was the answer.

If any part of my story sounds familiar, you're probably in the right place.
