Testimonial
Gus Horwith., Product Marketer & Financial Planner
I first reached out to Will when I was going through a crisis of career. After over a decade as a product marketing manager in tech, I was coming to the realization that marketing was not the right career for me. At the time, I was casting my net far and wide, as I tried to figure out what career would better suit my strengths. Through collaborative brainstorming and insightful questions, Will helped me to identify what qualities I wanted in a job, and then helped me narrow down to the job I wanted to pursue.
Will’s strength, as a coach, is his ability to ask exactly the right question and then wait patiently while you process through the answer and its implications out loud. I’m so happy in my new career and I owe Will a huge debt of gratitude for helping me get here.
L. W., SAP Master Data Lead
When I began my journey with Will, I was in a mental rut—an overwhelming and disorganized one. I didn't know how to move forward, feeling so stuck in my career. Will helped me identify a number of things that are most important to me. Completing this exercise unblocked that part of me that wasn't willing to let go of missed opportunities in the past, while watching others progress faster in their career paths, and trying to come away not feeling like a failure. It was a lot of frustration—with circumstances and with myself.
We also uncovered the key drivers behind why I wanted the things I wanted in my career and the true value of those things when applied to my personal life. Through all of this, Will helped me refocus my priorities, shift my mindset, and take smarter actions to reflect on things that are happening in the present. I could go on and on, but as Will emphasized in the beginning, this journey is mutually beneficial, meaning that you cannot come out of it without winning. I am happy to say that today, I can let go of the past and focus on the future roadmap, sweat the big things and let go of the small stuff, and instead of sabotaging myself, I have learned how to empower myself instead. THANK YOU, Will!

What sets Will apart is his innate ability to listen, understand, and formulate a precise, tailored action plan.

I highly recommend any emerging professional to work with Will to help to clarify and figure out your career goals.
Will is an outstanding career coach and confidant. He challenges my assumptions and forces me to think through the intent and the “why” for every goal I state that I THINK that I want while also making me feel valued and heard.
He is thoughtful, insightful, and a great sounding board that keeps you accountable with comprehensive exercises where you evaluate your career and life.
Alex M., PR
Will is an incredible listener. He can actively listen to the most relevant, actionable sections of what I'm saying. This makes our sessions incredibly efficient and effective since he can focus on what I'm saying, what I mean, and what we can do to address it.
I love that Will has enough training to structure our sessions thoughtfully and yet pivot quickly if one method or idea is not working for me. He's not forcing me through a systematic approach, rather he's looking to provide what would work best for me.

Thanks for being my coach Will! I deeply appreciate your approach, which relies on your background at Google as well as formal coaching training. You've helped me to accept who I am and where I am by creating a safe and non-judgemental space, and helped me look for the path forward through your questions, which make me explore my own feelings. The resources that you provide for homework are valuable to connect those feelings to new concepts and frameworks.
Looking forward to continuing this coaching relationship throughout my career journey!
