Show Your Work Coaching
How coaching works
You have spent years building your expertise. You lead teams, solve hard problems, and deliver. Somewhere between your work and the people who decide, it gets lost.
Show Your Work Coaching is not about fixing you. It is about helping the right people see the value you already create, and helping you grow without burning out.
What happens, step by step
What is included
That is about 2 hours a month.
- 2 sessions a month (up to 3 if needed), 60 minutes each
- Support between sessions by email or message
- Session summaries, so you can focus on the conversation instead of taking notes
- Tools when they help: the Eisenhower Matrix for time, a personal values exercise, feedback models (SBI, STAR), and a visibility snapshot
- Virtual sessions on Google Meet, or in person around Reno, NV
- 24-hour cancellation policy, with no charge to reschedule
Investment
| Commitment | Monthly | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $700 / month | $2,100 |
| 6 months | $630 / month | $3,780 |
| Alumni sessions | $350 / session | As needed |
Most clients pay up front (Stripe or PayPal). Monthly payments are available too.
Access matters. Each quarter I hold 1 to 2 pro-bono spots for currently enrolled university students and people facing special circumstances. If cost is what is stopping you, let's talk.
Why it is worth it
In my experience, a step up in tech leadership usually comes with a raise of 10% or more. Most of my clients land a promotion or a move to a new company within 12 months.
The return is not only financial. It is leaving at 5 instead of 8. It is walking into a 1-on-1 with your boss feeling confident instead of defensive. It is knowing what you are worth and being able to say it clearly.
Over the two years Jesse has been my career coach, my career has grown from part-time manager of a small team to managing a team across two continents that supports four product verticals.
First 3 months
- Fewer late nights and more intentional focus
- Less stress and clearer boundaries
- Clarity on what you want and how to tell your boss
- At least one hard conversation handled with confidence
By 6 months
- Confidence in your direction and the words to explain it
- Real progress toward your goal
- A clearer sense of how others see you
- A lot less imposter syndrome
Within 12 months
- A raise, promotion, or new role (a common outcome for most clients)
- A habit of keeping your boss in the loop before they have to ask
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
- You are a tech or systems leader who is great at the work and not getting recognized for it
- You are preparing for a promotion, starting a new leadership role, or stuck despite strong results
- You are willing to act between sessions. I will not chase you.
- You want a coach who is still in the job, not someone reading from a playbook
It is probably not a fit if:
- You want someone to tell you what to do. Coaching helps you find your own answers.
- You are not ready to own your growth. I will challenge you, but you have to show up.
- You want advice or a sounding board without committing to change
