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.

My time working with Andre was an absolute Joy. He really helped me get through the ups and downs of what was a very challenging couple of months in my career.
We would often end a session with a very actionable, straightforward set of things that I could do before the subsequent session. That was excellent and had a very real impact on the quality of my work.
He helped me stay focused on what I love about product work by balancing concrete, highly applicable strategies with healthy introspection.
I would strongly recommend PeopleStorming's coaching service to anyone who's looking to improve their performance. Our work together was joyful, interesting, intriguing and always made space for reflection while helping me keep my eyes on the prize.

I started working with Andre when I wanted to accelerate my growth trajectory at my current company. I was immediately struck by how skillful a listener he is - quickly distilling the issue at heart and identifying concrete actions I can try to make the changes that would have the impact I am seeking.
Andre brings in lots of frameworks and approaches to the mix, allowing me an array of new approaches to experiment with.
Thanks to our work together, I am a lot more comfortable navigating difficult conversations and being more self aware of my own strengths and blind spots.
Shradha B. - Sr. Product Manager - GoDaddy
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. - Director of Sales - 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.
