COACHING THROUGH TRANSITIONS

Life is full of thresholds. Moments where something old is ending and something new is waiting to take shape. Sometimes those thresholds look like career changes or leadership shifts. Other times, they’re more personal: a new chapter in family, health, creativity, identity or even the profound transitions that come with dying, grief, and loss. Wherever they appear, thresholds ask us to pause, honor what’s ending, and imagine what could be next.

 

Coaching and end-of-life work both give us space to explore these crossings with curiosity and intention. Together, we’ll navigate the messy middle where uncertainty, possibility, and growth intersect so you can make choices that feel aligned with your values and true to who you are.

Whether you’re reimagining your work, stepping into leadership, tending to a loved one at the end of life, facing your own mortality, or finding your way through grief, my role is to walk alongside you. Coaching and doula work both create room to slow down, reconnect with what matters, and create meaning in your evolving story.

This is a space to challenge the status quo (both inner and outer) and to craft a life and leadership path that is authentic, spacious, and fully yours.

My Background

I led technology teams at Etsy, Spotify, Universal Music Group, and EMI Music for more than two decades as a people-centered leader, creating and operationalizing strategy, problem-solving, and fostering a culture where everyone could show up and flourish. Now I work alongside people navigating transitions and support them in doing so with intention and courage.

I believe leadership is a lifelong journey for everyone, and I’m here to help you rediscover the courage to be who you want to be and create the life you want to lead. Together, we’ll stretch your sightlines, venture out of your comfort zone, and grow in ways that transform your career and your life.

 

As a trained and certified Co-Active coach, I guide clients through life’s complexities using a framework that fosters growth, self-discovery, and purpose. I create spaces for belonging, deep connection, and transformative change, drawing on my experiences as a leader, artist, and human.

I'm also a hospice volunteer and a trained end-of-life doula. Death is a transition that we all experience, both personally and through the passing of those we love. If you are working through grief, know that you don't have to do so alone.

I live with my wife and our dogs and cats in the Hudson Valley of New York, surrounded by the beauty of nature. I infuse my work with grounding and curiosity, helping me connect with clients as whole people.

Coaching begins with a complimentary consultation call to decide whether it’s a good fit for both of us. If it is, then we hold a 90 minute discovery session to design the coaching alliance, discuss relevant context, hone in on our focus areas, and begin to explore our work together. After that, you come to each 60 minute coaching session (~twice monthly cadence) with a topic to work on towards your focus areas, and usually leave each session with some field work to apply what was worked on. Active coaching packages include access to text/email support between sessions.

I found myself guiding a leader through a significant transformation in their communication, a task that initially overwhelmed me due to its complexity and the multitude of possible approaches. However, Shawn played a crucial role in bolstering my confidence and actively engaged with me to refine a strategy that rapidly and efficiently delivered results."
