Beyond the Golden Handcuffs
Beyond the Golden Handcuffs
I coach ambitious humans who want to become their true selves in both their personal and professional worlds. Drawing from my own journey from product management into coaching and writing, I guide professionals through life's inherent uncertainties.
My clients include thoughtful rebels inside organizations (product leaders, software engineers, chief-of-staffs) and those creating their own path (solopreneurs, founders, and creators). What they share isn't a job title - it's a determination to align their work with who they truly are.
Whether navigating momentary lostness, questioning long-held assumptions, or facing destabilization in work and life, my experiential understanding of both the corporate ladder and the pathless path helps clients discover clarity, cultivate meaningful work, and build lives aligned with their values.
In our work together, we might explore areas such as:
Managing burnout and finding sustainable ways to work
Navigating career transitions or clarifying future direction
Making important decisions about jobs and relationships
Breaking cycles of urgency and tech addiction
Improving interpersonal relationships and addressing conflict
Reconnecting with their sense of aliveness and purpose
Overcoming fears of failure, commitment, or intimacy
You decide what we address in our work together. I'll help you track topics over time and may highlight blind spots, but ultimately the agenda is yours to set. Our process focuses on exploration and discovery rather than predetermined outcomes—each person's journey is unique.

My Approach
"In a transitory time where I was plagued with anxiety, lack of self-confidence, and constant worry about the future, Matt continuously challenged me to look within to uncover my true values, what I truly wanted to accomplish, and as a result, who I wanted to become." — Raahul A.
As your coach, I serve as your mirror, ninja, and occasionally, your bullshit-caller. I don't separate personal and professional growth—they're interconnected. I help you discover what you truly want in life and work, then support you in taking aligned action through your own commitment to yourself.
My coaching style balances support with challenge. I create a space where you can explore deeply while staying accountable to your core values and long-term vision. When I challenge you, know that I'm doing so with your best interests at heart. When I support you, I'll always remain candid and direct.
What consistently makes the biggest difference for my clients:
Making meaningful commitments to themselves
Taking concrete action, even small steps
Learning to feel and process their emotions
Having the difficult conversations they've been avoiding
Changing their environment when needed
I guide you through these approaches by creating space for deeper self-inquiry and presence with what is. Through powerful questions, reflective silence, and attentive listening, I help you access your own wisdom and see patterns that might otherwise remain invisible. We'll work with both your analytical mind and your embodied knowing, developing practices that transform insight into meaningful action while honoring your whole self. My role isn't just to help you 'fix' problems or achieve goals, but to accompany you in becoming more fully human - aware, aligned, and alive to the richness of your experience.
Are you feeling…
My coaching resonates most with those who:
Value depth over superficial success metrics
Are committed to growth, even when it's uncomfortable
Sense there's more to their work and life than what conventional paths offer
Want to bring their full humanity to their professional endeavors
While I work with people across various roles and industries, my clients often come to me during inflection points: contemplating a career pivot, scaling a business, taking on new leadership challenges, or simply feeling a call toward greater alignment and purpose in their work.
Some are questioning everything about their current path. Others love their work but seek to deepen their impact and satisfaction. All share a willingness to look beyond quick fixes and engage with the meaningful questions that lead to lasting change.

How we'll work together
In our sessions, we'll blend deeper insights with practical actions:
finding sustainable rhythms when burnout has dimmed your light
uncovering the career direction that resonates with your core values and strengths
exploring choices thoughtfully when you're at crossroads in your work or life
creating space to breathe when everything feels constricting
developing a healthier relationship with technology that serves rather than drains you
communicating authentically so you can step out from behind the mask
reconnecting with activities that spark genuine aliveness in your day-to-day
transforming fears from barriers into valuable signals for growth
breaking free from the hypnotic rhythm of urgency to create space for what truly matters
You determine our focus areas, and I'll help track progress and patterns. I'll offer frameworks, ask targeted questions, and provide tools tailored to your situation while remaining attentive to the intuitive signals that often guide our most important decisions.
