Coaching matters to me because I could have used a coach. I believe some of the most valuable times to have a coach are during the formative and transitional moments of a career—when decisions about which opportunities to pursue, whether to change companies, how to navigate setbacks, and who you want to become professionally can shape your trajectory for years. Yet the people who could benefit most from having someone in their corner often have the least access to coaching. That matters even more to me in media and entertainment. Our industry is undergoing profound cultural and technological transformation. As AI changes how we work and organizations continue to evolve, I believe judgment, adaptability, resilience, and the ability to navigate uncertainty will become even more valuable. People at every level can benefit from space to think—to question assumptions, consider possibilities, and work through difficult decisions. As responsibilities grow, those decisions increasingly affect not only your own career, but also your team, department, business unit, and organization. Having a thought partner who can challenge your thinking while understanding the realities of the industry can make those conversations even more meaningful. I coach because I want to provide something I wish I'd had earlier in my own career: a trusted space to think more deeply about where you're going, who you're becoming, the decisions you're making, and the impact you want to have along the way.
