I’m the Secret Weapon Top Performers at Google, Netflix, and the US Army Trust for People Skills Coaching.
I’ve spent 10+ years helping overthinkers build social confidence. Are you like them?
Do you want to speak up more in meetings, have better conversations, and feel socially confident in every part of your life?
My private coaching clients are high achievers: engineers, analysts, creatives, and specialists who have built success through expertise and hard work. (Clients from Microsoft, Netflix, Google, US Army, Facebook, Shopify, and more.)
But they’ve realized something: technical skills alone won’t get them to the next level.
They have bigger ambitions for their careers and personal lives, and they know that confidence, communication, and charisma are the keys to unlocking those opportunities.
They’re done overthinking social situations and ready to walk into any room with confidence—knowing they can connect, contribute, and be remembered.
They don’t wait for change to happen. They take action.
They test strategies, refine their approach, and celebrate small wins that compound into powerful transformation.
If that sounds like you, we should talk.
⚠️ Note: I keep my client list intentionally small so I can give every person the focus, care, and attention they need to succeed.
If you’re serious about transforming your social confidence, apply now and let’s make it happen.
What do my clients say?
"The wins that I felt that I got out of it was how to keep the conversation going instead of, easily slipping back into your head which for me it was always the easiest thing to do."
"I've tried many approaches to improving my professional and social networking skills, but nothing has been as impactful as Jeff's coaching. He ends each session with actionable tasks that results in measurable improvements each time."
"I am much more confident as I've got this newfound competence in my ability to do social activities and handle myself in social conversations. You really helped me, Jeff!"
"If I'm in certain situations, I don't have to think about what to say or how to approach it. I just take action. For me, that was one of the biggest pieces. Coaching really provided me that confidence to just start the conversation"
“Life is different after coaching. A big win that I got from [coaching] is being able to manage the inner social critic. This means that I can now speak up in meetings and can have difficult conversations."
"Jeff has given me strategies to be more empathetic, and more present in my day to day interactions.The value I've received is immense, and his coaching is worth it because you can't put a price on changing your life for the better."
“There are a lot of wins. I mean a lot more than I even would have expected.
Right now I am getting more job interviews, and they are definitely going much better, and I am getting more and higher quality that I wouldn't have had without us working together.”
"If you want a better way to become self-aware of things that you don't realize you're doing, Jeff is an expert when it comes to charisma."
"Jeff is a very kind and patient teacher who is more than willing to walk through even the most basic steps in order to help his students understand where to find victory and where to find confidence in a conversation."
"I had some big wins such as going by myself to meetup groups, where I introduced myself to strangers, chatted with them, and actually had a good time--something I wouldn't have fathomed before committing to working on myself."
“If you get coaching with Jeff 100%, you're going to be moving in the right direction. I mean, the whole reason he's doing this is to get you in a better spot. And if you can do that, it's game changing. I really appreciate what he's done for my life so far.”
"I would definitely recommend Jeff as a coach. What he's given me is a good balance of theory and actionable steps I can use to improve."
"I feel more confident in that I'm bringing my 50% of the conversation in the right way to interaction and I feel more comfortable with people and talking with people."
"I have seen in meetings where I am getting more credit for my work. Also other things like having more fluid meetings, being able to connect with different people in meetings and things like that. I think [coaching] has definitely helped."
"I know you're coaching me, but it never feels like you're talking down to me. We're just having a conversation, and you're giving me a whole new perspective that I've never seen before!"
"If you want to invest in something that is going to give you value throughout your lifetime, never going to expire and going to just make every aspect of your life better. I'd say invest into charisma, public speaking. I'd say that Jeff has definitely helped me with that."
