Ambition Without Burnout Foundations (6 sessions)
For high achievers who look successful on paper and feel stuck, tired, or quietly unsure underneath. Six 60-minute sessions with an ICF Professional Certified Coach and Certified Co-Active Coach who spent nearly two decades in demanding leadership roles at Amazon, IBM, and Ogilvy. The goal is not less ambition. It is ambition that is clearer, more sustainable, and aligned with the life you actually want. We name what truly matters, separate ambition from the inner critic that drains it, redesign how you spend energy and attention (including what no longer needs to be carried by you), and build a practice that survives contact with a real week. Ends with a written summary and a maintenance plan you keep.
What's included
Six live 60-minute sessions over eight to ten weeks, plus written check-ins between sessions.
- A written clarity map: what matters, what ambition is for, and what you are willing to stop carrying
- A weekly energy design and a two-minute check-in practice for the loud days, plus a written completion summary

Ambition Without Burnout for High Achievers | Ex-Amazon Leader | ICF PCC
I help senior professionals and leaders keep growing without sacrificing themselves in the process. Ambition Without Burnout is my signature approach: get clear on what you actually want, then build the outer system, including a personal AI team, so the noise stops consuming the energy your best work needs. I spent nearly 20 years inside Amazon, IBM, and Ogilvy, most recently as a Senior Manager of Product at Amazon, hiring and promoting people at a high bar. I know how senior careers are actually evaluated. As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC, CPCC), I work on both sides of the problem: the strategy and the mindset underneath it. Clients come to me for three things: executive presence and the promotion that keeps not happening; a senior transition or a post-layoff reset; and, increasingly, help building AI systems around their work and life without a technical background. I build these systems myself every week (Leland AI Builder Level 4) and write about them in The Personal Agent, my weekly newsletter. Across 36 reviews, rated 5.0, clients describe the same shift: sharper stories, quantified impact, calmer presence, real results. They have landed roles at Amazon, Microsoft, Spotify, and Barclays, and one was promoted to Director within the year. My coaching is practical and structured. We work on: • Executive presence, promotion, and leadership transitions • Senior career moves, interview narratives, and negotiation • Personal AI systems for knowledge work, no coding needed • Confidence and the inner critic, applied to real outcomes Clients describe my style as direct, insightful, and supportive. I do not offer generic advice, and I do not sell session piles. Every package starts by defining what success looks like, and ends with a written summary you keep.
