Every career is like a journey - there are high points to celebrate and low points with obstacles to overcome.
Working with a coach is a great, low-stakes way to explore and experiment with different ideas for your career-based challenges. Every coaching session is an opportunity to discover more about yourself.
You and your situation are unique. You need someone who'll listen to the details and support you to come up with strategies that work for you. Your coach will keep you accountable to giving your career the time and attention it deserves.
Every famous athlete, every famous performer has somebody who's a coach.
A coach really, really helps.
Eric Schmidt - Former CEO of Google
We coach clients through a broad range of challenges.
A seasoned and dedicated coach who draws on over 15 years of leadership in high-performance, product-oriented technology teams. He got his start as a software developer at an ISP, where he turned his experiences into a technology book.
He was the Director of Engineering for a 400-person engineering team at Riot Games, a core systems team at Facebook, and an advertising product group at LinkedIn. In those roles he led product engineering across many domains and gained deep experience with growing leaders, designing cross-functional organizations, managing performance, scaling development processes, and leading product and technology strategies.
It is this experience that allows Andre to build deep empathy with new and seasoned professionals alike. He's taken the journey they're on and is never happier than when helping them get to their destination.

Rachel and Andre coached me from an undesirable, draining work situation to a Senior Product Manager role at my dream company.
They were my go-to resources for a range of challenges. From advising me through tough management conversations, to reviewing my resume, to running through mock product and engineering interviews, they coached me through it all.
They supported me whilst also challenging me when needed, ensuring that I stayed focused and confident. I could not recommend Rachel and Andre more highly!

Rachel has been my coach for several months and my coaching sessions have been worth every penny.
I recently decided to transition into product management and she's provided me with the structure I need to level up my product skills and build more confidence.
We've experimented with many exercises (e.g., storytelling, assessing my strategy and communication skills, coaching through work situations) and I end every session feeling energized with a game plan.
I just signed an offer for a new Product role and I couldn't have done it without Rachel's help!

After my first conversation with Andre it became quickly clear that he knew what he was talking about and his help would be well worth the investment.
Working with my PeopleStorming coach has been fantastic. He's an open listener. He provides good feedback that's both strategic and tactical.
The top three benefits of working with Andre have been: better managing my career expectations, learning to adapt to change and knowing how to manage priorities in a stressful work environment.
If you're looking to figure out the best ways to manage your career I would definitely talk to PeopleStorming.
Jim M. - Sales Director - Google
In our first call I could tell that Andre's way of working and his background in tech meant we could jump right into the problems I was facing. We were able to start to evolve my thinking right away.
I was impressed with Andre's ability to either quickly understand the situation I was in, possibly pulling from his own background, or to operate conceptually enough that he didn't need to slow down to understand the details of my role.
He pulls from extensive management experience and has a toolbox full of frameworks and exercises to help you better understand your situation.
He pushes you to think differently; to step away from your problem and either address a higher level need that you're not seeing yourself, or come at the problem from a different angle. In the end, you're in the driver's seat but he's expertly helping to navigate.
