Life Coaching, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! I'm Jose Ocanas, a Senior Director of Marketing with a passion for helping individuals achieve their goals and unlock their full potential. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and leadership roles at top companies like PwC, Amazon, Panasonic, and IBM, I have learned and mentored a lot of people, helping them unlock their potential. I have my fair share of life's ups and downs, and have successfully tackled life challenges. I'm at the point where I want to share all that knowledge with you. Whether you're looking to advance in your career, improve your personal relationships, or find more fulfillment in life, I'm here to coach and guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and start your journey towards success today!

I'm a certified life coach (ICF ACC) with over 100 hours of experience supporting clients through both personal and professional challenges. I’ve helped people navigate career transitions, burnout, self-doubt, work-life balance, family dynamics, and relationship struggles—always with the goal of reconnecting to what matters most. With 10+ years in tech at Google, Microsoft, and Tencent—and lived experience as a working mom and entrepreneur—I bring both empathy and structure to every session. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’m here to help you build a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and true to you.

I am a professionally trained Co-Active coach and corporate strategy leader with over a decade of experience working with high-performing professionals across consulting, technology, finance, and entrepreneurship. Alongside my coaching certification journey, I bring real-world leadership experience from management consulting and senior corporate roles, where I have supported individuals and teams through career transitions, high-stakes decision-making, and identity shifts. This dual lens of structured strategy and human-centred coaching allows me to meet clients both practically and emotionally - helping them clarify what they want, build confidence in their choices, and take aligned action. My coaching style is grounded in deep listening, curiosity, and accountability rather than advice-giving. I work especially well with mid-career professionals, emerging leaders, and individuals navigating change - whether that is a career pivot, burnout, confidence challenges, or a desire for greater purpose and fulfilment. Clients often describe our sessions as both grounding and energising: a space where they can think clearly, reconnect with their inner voice, and move forward with intention rather than pressure.

My journey through the fast-paced world of Big Tech, including over 15 years at Microsoft in leadership roles, taught me invaluable lessons not just about career success, but about creating a life with meaning and balance. I've seen many talented individuals excel professionally while feeling something was missing in their personal lives, or struggling to navigate big life decisions and transitions. As a Life Coach, I bring the same practical, results-oriented approach that defined my tech career to help you gain clarity and achieve your personal goals. My experience isn't just in product roadmaps and team leadership; it's in understanding human motivation, overcoming complex challenges, and the importance of a clear vision—for your life. I partner with you to: - Define what truly matters to you: We'll explore your values, passions, and what a fulfilling life looks like for you, cutting through the noise and external pressures. - Set and achieve meaningful personal goals: Whether it's finding better work-life harmony, navigating a major change, boosting your confidence, or pursuing a long-held dream, we'll create an actionable plan. - Build resilience and overcome obstacles: Life throws curveballs. I'll help you develop strategies to navigate challenges, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward with purpose. If you're ready to take intentional steps towards a more aligned and satisfying life, I'm here to offer guidance, support, and accountability.

With a robust blend of experience and certifications, I bring a dynamic approach to coaching for personal and professional growth. As a certified executive coach with the International Coach Federation and a speech coach with a degree in Speech Communications, I specialize in enhancing communication skills, emotional intelligence, and executive presence. My certification in the EQi2.0 emotional intelligence assessment underscores my ability to guide clients in building resilience, stress management, and self-awareness. I also leverage proven frameworks from thought leaders to support mindfulness, work-life balance, and time management, tailoring strategies to each client’s unique needs. My career spans over 27 years, including leadership development roles in Fortune 500 companies and academic institutions, where I’ve facilitated transformational coaching engagements and workshops. From goal setting and navigating complexity to fostering personal growth and mindfulness, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve clarity and unlock their potential. Together, we’ll create actionable strategies to help you thrive in every facet of your journey.

I work with ambitious, thoughtful people who know that they're capable of more - and are ready to do the work to move forward. My coaching creates a space that is both safe and challenging. Clients consistently remark that they feel comfortable being fully honest in our conversations, and that they're pushed in the ways that matter. In our sessions, we slow down enough to understand what's really driving your hesitation, doubt, or friction, and then translate those insights into practical next steps. I listen closely. I track themes across sessions and help you connect dots that may not be immediately apparent. I ask thought-provoking questions that open perspective and surface what's beneath the story. When it's useful, I also offer frameworks and observations to help you understand the "why," not just the next step. I truly believe coaching is a partnership between us. Built on honesty, ownership, and forward motion. I received my Certified Professional Coach certification through iPEC, and my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) from the International Coaching Federation.
