Q: How quickly will I see tangible benefits?

A: All clients experience a significant gain in clarity and direction in the first session. The speed of concrete results depends on the complexity of your challenge and your willingness to implement it.

Q: How does this differ from traditional consulting or coaching?

A: I focus purely on optimizing your thought processes. This isn't substantive advice, guidance, or strategic advice, but rather an analysis of your partially unconscious thought processes, their deconstruction, and re-creation, which will lead to strengthening your own ability to make informed decisions and thereby maximize your strategic advantage a an outcome. It's about updating your unconscious cognitive "operating system" on which all your personal and professional "applications" run. This is the difference between treating a symptom and eliminating the root cause. The problem behind the problem is solved.

Q: Can this also help me with very specific industry problems?

A: Absolutely. The applied principles of examining unconscious thought and problem-solving are universal. I will help you approach your specific situation with a superior mindset that will give you an advantage in any industry.

Q: What if my situation is very personal or unique?

A: The strength of a thought partner lies in the ability to apply universal principles of clear thinking, problem formulation, and decision-making to any personal situation, no matter how unique. Your individual context is our starting point.

Q: What is your background and experience?

A: With a degree in Philosophy from the University of London, coupled with an eight-year

(3 years formal) training and certification as a contextual coach and business coach, a deep interest in human transformation, and many years of teaching experience, I bring a unique blend of deep listening, critical thinking, logic, and humor. Contextual coaching is a progressive methodology that draws on Western and Eastern philosophies, psychological, sociological, philosophical, and neuroscientific approaches.

Q: What are your clients' typical problems?

A: My clients work in an environment of intense pressure, stress, and uncertainty. The biggest challenges include the immense pressure to conduct and publish original research, managing complex and often strained relationships, and dealing with the pervasive imposter phenomenon (which actually can be solved real quickly).

Navigating departmental politics, securing grant funding, and managing extreme workloads are top concerns, which can lead to significant professional and personal stress.

Managers are responsible not only for their own work but also for the strategic direction and well-being of a team, department, or school. Their biggest vulnerabilities include severe decision fatigue due to a constant barrage of complex issues (budgets, staffing, curriculum), dealing with difficult personalities and resolving conflicts at the highest levels, and strategic planning in the face of institutional constraints. They need a confidential, unbiased partner to make important decisions, away from the political pressures of their institution.
