Life & Career Coaching

I specialize in career and life design coaching, but we can work on any topic related to your personal or professional development. I coach online via Zoom and have clients in all U.S. timezones, as well as in Europe and Asia.

Most people work with me on one of the following three areas.

Design Your Career

Your job isn’t fulfilling, but you feel stuck trying to take the next step. See clearly what you really want so you can make your next career move with focus and confidence.

Develop Leadership Skills

You’re at a growth edge in your ability to take initiative and empower others. Coaching will help you develop your talents and hone your interpersonal skills to lead at a new level.

Thrive in Grad School

You feel overwhelmed and burnt out in grad school. Learn to focus your energy on what matters most, so you can create work-life balance and score your academic goals.

What is coaching?

As a coach I don’t give advice or tell you what to do. Rather, I work with you to put your own wisdom into action.

Some useful distinctions about what coaching is and is not:

  • Therapy is about healing and insight; coaching is about action.

  • Consulting prescribes expertise-based solutions; coaching empowers you to act on your own wisdom.

  • Mentoring guides you based on a mentor’s wisdom; coaching guides you according to your own values and intentions.

  • Training follows a set curriculum toward set objectives; coaching reveals your own objectives and a path to fulfill them.

  • Coaching supports you to clarify what is truly important to you and to move forward past where you are currently stuck.

My coaching methodology

I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation and mentor coach for the Academy for Coaching Excellence. Click the drop-down areas to learn more about my coaching philosophy and methods.

  • I completed my coach training at the Academy for Coaching Excellence (ACE) led by Maria Nemeth, PhD, MCC. As an ACE-trained coach, my work is rooted in ontology, the study of being. I draw on timeless spiritual principles to help my clients see who they really are, so they can live the life they’re called to live and make the contribution they’re here to make.

  • Problems are opportunities to create something new and delightful. In coaching, I incorporate creative problem-solving methods from design thinking to help people get unstuck and design lives that are meaningful and fulfilling. I also bring this approach to my undergraduate course Designing Your Life, which I developed after training with the Stanford team that created the concept of “life design.”

  • What are the ingredients of “the good life”? Positive psychology research has taught us a lot about the strengths, virtues, and mindsets that promote human flourishing. I read widely on topics like happiness, wellbeing, flow, performance, and expertise - and I leverage these insights to help my clients achieve their goals.

  • People have different personalities, and when we understand and respect these differences, we expand our capacity for compassion and leadership. Based on Carl Jung’s personality theory, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a leading personality assessment that helps people understand how they perceive the world and make decisions. I am a certified MBTI practitioner and use the assessment selectively for career coaching and leadership development.

Am I the coach for you?

“Chemistry" is important to consider when working with a coach. You'll see if we “click" during our discovery session, and this will also be a chance to confirm that our values align. I am committed to social justice and anti-oppression and to serving clients of any race, ethnicity, ability, religion, and gender.

If we’re not a fit, I’m happy to share referrals to other excellent coaches in my network.

Words from past clients

  • "Working with Remy has been super supportive, affirming, and wonderful in helping me shift my negative mindset and stubborn habits to live the life I really want. Our sessions help me couple self awareness with action, so I can really take charge of my life decisions. Remy is constantly encouraging and nonjudgemental of my journey as I reshape my priorities and goals."

    Kristy Drutman

  • "My life has completely changed as a result of our coaching. I have clarity and confidence in my life choices, and know that when things are hard it's not because I'm on the wrong path. I have way more energy to focus on what's important to me."

    Jess Simmons

  • "Working with Remy has helped me define my life values and intentions with more clarity than I had been able to on my own. He is an amazing facilitator of personal growth and uses coaching tools and techniques that have consistently helped me take meaningful action right away. Remy is unusual in his ability to listen deeply, communicate with empathy and clarity, and keep focused on the desired change. If you get a chance to work with him TAKE IT!"

    Pam Barker

  • "When I began working with Remy I was feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with my current career path and the lack of time and freedom to pursue my passions. Not only am I well on my way to creating my dream career, Remy helped me to reframe my experience of my current job which is enabling a positive transition from the old job to the new! Psyched!"

    Bryan Dalpes

  • “When I started working with Remy, I had just left an unsatisfying job and was unsure about my next steps. Coaching has helped me clarify my vision and take consistent action toward it. I am thrilled with the lifestyle changes I have made and the renewed focus I now bring to life's challenges.”

Investment

I stand for a world in which everyone is supported 100% and no one is left out. My pricing reflects that vision.

Most clients choose 6-month coaching packages with two sessions per month.

My sliding scale fees help me serve a diversity of economic situations, and you will always receive more value than your investment. With that in mind, I ask that you select a tier that is an authentic stretch but not a hardship for you.

The cost for individual coaching (12 sessions held over 6 months) is:

  • $400/month if it's a stretch to be investing

  • $500/month if you're living comfortably

  • $600/month if you're flourishing financially

If you are an organization interested in sponsoring coaching for an employee, please contact me about corporate and non-profit packages.

I offer scholarships on an individual basis, so don't hesitate to reach out. My coach training was made possible by crowdfunding donations from 190 people who believed in my vision for this practice. As a coach, I offer you that same spirit of generosity and service that supported me.

When I have space, I accept new clients who are a great fit.
