About Vladimir

New Country, New Culture, New Opportunities My journey began the moment I immigrated to the United States. Fresh off the boat and having spent only three days in the country, I was thrown into a social experience I had only seen in movies: the American High School. Everything was new and different. Every daily routine had new cultural norms. My old habits had to adjust for me to stay afloat. Driven by curiosity, I immersed myself in everything the environment had to offer. I met new and different types of people, played sports and joined activities and clubs. As part of the Science Olympiad, I built a self-propelling scooter and a Rube Goldberg machine, competed, and won a prize. Despite the sense of accomplishment, I still felt a bit lonely, as most of the technical work was done alone and I wanted more interaction with others. I needed to align my technical interests with a human desire to connect with others. I wrote programs for Ti-83 calculators and sold them to my classmates. While I made a little money, the human connection didn’t last long after the sale. I flipped to the other side of the curve and sold candies, that was a much better business, but it brought little joy. Learn more here -

Why do I coach?

I love helping individual grow to their highest potentials. It is magical how powerful questions can transform one's journey, and it it a privilege to watch that transformation
