Once you’re ready to get started, schedule a consultation to see whether my tech career coaching services are your next best step.
My clients achieve what they never imagined was possible…
- An engineering leader with imposter syndrome clarified her career path, overcame her fear of networking, and received offers from multiple tech giants and hyper-growth startups.
- An entrepreneur created his first resume in 20+ years, updated his LinkedIn profile and quickly got multiple interviews from target companies, and landed a product leadership role at a mid-size tech company.
- A university administrator crafted a new resume and LinkedIn profile that aligned with the private sector, learned how to effectively job search in the current job market, and landed a leadership role at Amazon.
- A burned-out sales executive explored less demanding career options, identified his unique value proposition (what I call your fabulousness), and pivoted into a customer success role.
- An engineering executive solidified her future career path in product management, developed a compelling resume and LinkedIn profile, and secured a leadership role with a Fortune 500 tech company.
While your results will vary, know they will be anything but ordinary. That’s my promise.
Kyle has definitely found his calling. I worked with Kyle after losing my job of 12+ years during the pandemic. He helped me focus on what I wanted out of my next career, craft a compelling resume and cover letter, and work on my interview skills…and he made the entire process fun. He was engaging, personable, very insightful, beyond knowledgeable, and just a pure pleasure to work with.
I couldn’t sing his praises more.”
–Simona Kilgour
Using The Fabulousness Methodology, I will teach you how to rethink, reimagine, and recreate your job search and your career…
Whether you’re a tech executive who is feeling stuck in your career, or you want a trusted advisor as you navigate the saturated job market, I’m here for you.
I am a trusted confidant to some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley and tech, because I know how to ask the right questions.
The results?
You learn to identify and own your fabulousness.
You stand out in the saturated job market.
And, most importantly, you find a job you LOVE.
If you’re looking for a career coach that lives up to their word of helping people find work that they love, Kyle is the career coach for you!
I thought career coaching meant helping me find and apply for work, but Kyle helped me find confidence in my abilities and helped me showcase the skills I know I can bring to any organization in the most fabulous way! Thank you for being the motivator, pusher, confidence booster, and absolutely incredible supporter I needed.”
—WINNIE LUONG
How I will help you find a job and career you LOVE…
I recognize working with me is a significant investment of time, energy, and effort. It’s also a significant financial investment, and I appreciate you trusting in me.
As you review my tech career coaching packages, I encourage you to ask yourself:
- How much is it costing you to spend 3, 6, or 12+ months unsatisfied... unhappy... undervalued... underpaid... underemployed... unemployed...?
- How much is your happiness worth?
- How much are you worth?
Please know that I work with a very limited number of tech career coaching clients at a time. My clients achieve what often feels impossible because I am deeply committed to their success and their happiness. My coaching practice is application-only, and I often have a waiting list for new career coaching clients.
My typical client makes six or seven figures annually and loses $5,000 to $20,000+ every week they are unemployed, not including health insurance and other benefits.
When you factor in the $50,000 to $250,000+ total compensation increases my clients typically receive with their new job offers, my coaching is a small investment that pays for itself many times over.
While every client is unique, the average ROI of my coaching programs is a minimum of 700%.

Your questions answered…
I feel stuck. Are you sure you can help me?
Yep! You’re in the right place. This is my Zone of Genius. I help people get unstuck, own their fabulousness, and achieve what they never imagined possible.
What’s your experience helping clients land jobs at [insert big tech company name here]?
My clients have landed interviews and jobs at nearly every Fortune 500 company you can think of, as well as hundreds of large privately held companies and hyper-growth startups.
What’s your experience working with C-suite executives and other senior business leaders?
- C-suite executives (including CEO, CFO, CAO, CCO, COO, CMO, CHRO, CIO, CTO, CISO, and CRO) and senior business leaders (EVPs, SVPs, VPs, Heads, and Directors) at Fortune 100 and Global Fortune 500 companies (both tech and non-tech), hyper-growth startups (pre-IPO, PE-backed, and VC-backed), large privately held companies, publicly traded companies, and multinational conglomerates
- Executives and consultants at McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Booz Allen Hamilton, and IBM, among other top consulting firms
- Coaches, songwriters, producers, and strategic partners to Simone Biles, Ellen DeGeneres, Jamie Foxx, Machine Gun Kelly, Usher, Meghan Trainor, 5 Seconds of Summer, Linkin Park, Lil Dicky, and other artists and A-list celebrities
- Current and former direct reports of Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Gary Vaynerchuk (VaynerMedia), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other household names
Do you work with college students, recent graduates, or individual contributors?
I specialize in coaching senior managers, executives, and C-suite leaders in the tech industry.
I do not work with college students or recent graduates, and I work with a very limited number of senior individual contributors (10+ years of experience) on a case-by-case basis. Please schedule a consultation to see whether working together is your next best step.
If we are not a mutual fit, I will provide you with a referral to a trusted industry colleague who better aligns with your background, needs, and goals.
How would you describe your coaching style?
Clients often describe me as quick, insightful, and no-nonsense. I’m empowering, engaging, and fun (What’s the point if we’re not having fun?!) without delivering fluff.
I’m direct. An HR executive and mentor said I’m an expert at pinning clients against the wall (kindly) until they solve their biggest problems and achieve the results they came for. She regularly sends me her toughest cases, i.e. the ones no one else dares to take on.
Because most of my clients are tech executives, I am goal-oriented and incredibly results-driven while remaining open to whatever arises during our sessions. I’ll help you stay accountable while also teaching you to slow down and truly celebrate your wins.
I am an exceptional listener and often notice patterns about how you show up—trends you likely have not recognized yourself.
I completed my doctorate in adult education and earned a graduate certificate in college teaching, so I am trained at the doctoral level to develop tailored content that will work for your unique learning style.
Many of my clients are neurodiverse and/or disabled, and I excel at adapting my approach to meet diverse learning needs.
You can read a few of the hundreds of verified reviews from my clients on this page.
Are you trauma-informed?
Yes, I’m a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, I have completed advanced training in trauma-informed coaching, and I wrote my doctoral dissertation on mental health storytelling. I believe we’re most effective when we honor and acknowledge the role of trauma in our work and in our lives.
Importantly, you won’t be asked to share anything you don’t want to. You’re in the driver’s seat. You’re in control.
I haven’t looked for a job in 5, 10, 20+ years. Can you help me?
Absolutely! You’re in the right place. Many of my clients are senior managers and executives who have not looked for a job in a decade or more.
What if I want to cover a topic(s) that is not listed in one of your programs?
The topics listed above are purely for illustrative purposes. In fact, some clients choose to ditch the topics listed and create a 100% individualized program.
You will quickly learn that one of my greatest talents is curating a one-of-a-kind experience that ensures your success.
Here are the 10 most common topics that clients bring to their career coaching sessions with me:
- Career Discovery Guidance/Target Company and Position Identification
- Career Document Review (Resume, Cover Letter, & LinkedIn Profile)
- Networking and Leveraging LinkedIn
- Interview Preparation
- Salary Negotiation
- 30-60-90 Day Plan Development
- Executive Presence
- Thought Leadership Marketing
- Time and Energy Management
- Confidence Building (AKA Owning Your Fabulousness)
Note: I do not offer technical interview prep or coding interview prep.
Can we work on my career documents during our coaching sessions?
Yes! Your sessions with me are YOUR time. I am happy to offer feedback and comments on your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile during our sessions.
Wait… Can’t you just write my resume for me?
Nope. There are a lot of professional resume writers out there who simply write your resume for you. You will find that what sets me apart from other professional resume writers and career coaches is how deeply I get to know you as I help you better understand yourself, your career story, and your fabulousness.
My Zone of Genius is teaching clients to rethink, recreate, and reimagine how they tell their career stories. This involves deep dive coaching sessions (I call this “co-creation”) and “homework” on your part between sessions.
The results are powerful. You learn to identify and own your fabulousness. You stand out in the saturated job market. And, most importantly, you find a job you LOVE.
Can I start with a single coaching session?
The coaching I provide is deep, transformational work. A single session can offer insight, but real, lasting change requires a consistent, structured approach.
Think of it as being like the gym—you can’t expect meaningful change after one visit. You have to be consistent to achieve results.
We’ll begin with a comprehensive program aimed at ensuring lasting growth. After completing their first program, many of my clients continue meeting with me bimonthly or quarterly to maintain momentum.
Schedule a no-obligation consultation to see whether working together is your next best step.
What should I expect during my first session?
This article outlines what to expect during your first coaching session. I’ll also send you a detailed welcome letter and instructions once you sign up for your program.
In your very first session, we’ll cover “housekeeping” issues and build rapport, revisit your goals for the process, and dive into actual coaching! We’ll conclude by recapping the session and discussing “homework” for you to work on before we meet next.
What if I want additional career coaching sessions?
Many clients choose to invest in additional career coaching sessions once they complete their program with me. Additional career coaching sessions are available at $750 per session (50 minutes). All sessions include highly caffeinated session notes in addition to customized “homework” to keep you on track toward achieving your career goals.
Do you offer payment plans?
I accept all payments through PayPal, which allows payment via debit or credit card, or six 0% interest monthly payments via PayPal Credit (for those who qualify). As a one-person shop, I do not offer in-house payment plans.
Your employer may allow you to use professional development plans to cover the cost of working with a coach. Check with your manager or HR representative to confirm.
Do you offer refunds?
Nope. I only work with leaders who are ready to show up fully and put in the effort needed to achieve lasting change. Coaching is a collaborative process that involves multiple sessions, deep reflection, and significant “homework.” While your program will be customized to meet your unique goals, please expect to commit extensive time and energy to the process.
When can we start?
I run an application-only coaching practice. I often have a waiting list due to a full coaching practice and busy speaking schedule. Click here to schedule a no-obligation consultation.
Kyle absolutely helped bring clarity and vision to my future…
Our work together was so effective that within a month, I was recruited and received a job offer that doubled my previous salary with one of the largest brands in Europe. After receiving my offer, Kyle was there to offer additional advice on salary negotiation, starting date and just about anything else you can imagine. It’s hard to imagine working with someone who is invested in your career as much as you are, but this was the reality with Kyle. While the results certainly speak for themselves, I couldn’t recommend Kyle enough and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
