Two conversations, with room to notice what changes
Bring the decision you keep turning over. Leave with a clearer question and a next step that feels like yours.
Session 1 · 90 minutes
Slow the situation down, name what feels off, and find the question underneath the pressure.
Session 2 · 60 minutes
Return after you have had time to notice. Keep what still feels true and choose what to do next.
Session one · 90 minutes
We explore your decision, your BG5 Career Profile, and the conditions around your work. You leave with a clearer question to test.
Between sessions
Take a personal decision framework back into your working life. Observe what holds true when the pressure returns.
Session two · 60 minutes
We review what you noticed, let go of assumptions, and choose a practical next step you can stand behind.
Brian listens for what is easy to miss, then helps you put words around it and decide what deserves your attention.
Makes room for the part of the story that has not been said yet.
Looks at the role, the people, and the pressure around the decision.
Leaves you with something useful to notice or try next.
Pressure is information
A role can look right on paper and still feel wrong when you are living it. Brian helps you sort out what is coming from other people, and what you already know for yourself.
The options all look reasonable, but none of them feels settled.
You can do the work. You are less sure the work is still right for you.
Conversations take more effort, trust is thinner, and progress feels harder than it should.
Start with the decision in front of you. Your Snapshot offers a personal look at how you work, how you decide, and the conditions that help you thrive.

Working together
Start with the decision you are facing. There is room to explore it on your own or work through the friction together.
For the role, offer, or transition you keep turning over. Two private sessions, with room to observe in between.
Find the patterns behind stalled progress and costly conversations. Clarify the roles, decisions, and connections your team needs.
Before you push harder, pause. What is the situation asking you to notice?

“Brian was always present and provided guidance that felt truly tailored to my experience, goals, and personality. He showed a genuine understanding of my professional background and dreams, offering tangible tools and insights I can use immediately and adapt over time. I’m grateful for his grounded way to what can feel overwhelming, combined with his patience, kindness, and structured approach to our process. Having worked with several job coaches before, Brian’s style stood out as different in all the best ways.”
Sarah Rubin“Brian is an amazing career coach, and I can’t recommend him enough. I was unemployed for almost three months this year, and it was tough. Before I decided to speak to a coach, I was scared and applying for jobs without a clear plan. I connected with Brian through Stride, and I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first. My first impression of him was that he was extremely kind and easy to talk to (this remained true throughout all our sessions). He not only allowed me to express my feelings (vent!) for a solid 20 minutes without interruption, but he also reassured me that not all was lost. He listened intently, asked thought-provoking questions, and most importantly, gave me great advice on how to be more intentional about my job search. Fast forward a month, and I had five interviews and four job offers, including my dream job! I continued to meet with Brian every other month. He helped me adjust to my new role and provided valuable advice on how to settle in and thrive. A month later, I received a Rising Star & Beyond Excellence award at my new company. Of course, I put in a lot of effort, but Brian was a fantastic support. He sent detailed emails summarising our discussions and provided resources to help me plan my next steps. So, if you’re trying to figure out your next career move, going through retrenchment, or just need to talk about your work/life, do yourself a favour and book a few sessions with Brian. You won’t regret it.”
Pam Mduna“Brian is a man of unequaled integrity and commitment. While working in my firm he was a capable, competent and dedicated associate who could always be counted on to deliver. He is a consumate team player and uses his skills and knowledge well. Brian was always pleasant to work with and made my work-load easier.”
