When you're just staring blankly at your calendar at 10am
You’re smart, capable, and somehow still stuck.
I'm Kris and maybe I can help.
Maybe you’re feeling stuck in your role, unsure if it’s time to move up, move out, or move to a cabin in the woods. Maybe you just became a manager and you know you're just making shit up as you go. Or maybe you're just really tired of googling “what to ask my manager in a 1:1” 10 mins before the meeting.
I'm Kris, an engineering manager passionate about helping people navigate their careers. I’ve helped engineers and leaders find clarity, confidence, and momentum when they’re stuck, overwhelmed, or rethinking everything.
I can help by really listening, asking the right questions, and working with you to build your own style — one that feels true to who you are and actually works. Then we’ll turn that clarity into action.

📝 0. What can I help with
Before our first chat, I’d love to know what you’re hoping to work on. Maybe it’s a specific challenge — like getting passed over for a promotion, managing conflict, or leading for the first time. Or maybe it’s something fuzzier — feeling stuck, unsure what goals to set, or wondering what's next.
🗓️ 1. Book a Free Intro Call
A no-pressure 30-minute chat to get to know each other. Share what’s on your mind, ask questions, and hear how I might support you. If it feels like a fit, we’ll take it from there.
🎯 2. Define Your Focus
We’ll dig into your context — who you are, what your environment looks like, and how you're approaching things. Together, we’ll set goals and outline next steps that feel meaningful and doable.
🧰 3. Use Tools That Actually Help
Between sessions, you’ll try out small experiments and actions. I’ll share frameworks and exercises tailored to your needs — flexible, simple, and supportive. And yes, you can email me in between.
🔄 4. Grow With Intention
We’ll keep meeting (biweekly, or monthly — your call) to reflect, re-focus, and keep momentum. One step at a time — no pressure to have it all figured out.
