The Team at Johns & Taylor
Professional Development Coaching
After spending a few years focused on the user experience work we’ve been doing at Johns & Taylor, I recently opened up a handful of spots in my professional development coaching practice.

While “consulting” involves me telling you what I think you should do, “coaching” gives us a platform where I can ask you questions about what’s going in in your career or in your business, so we can collaborate on a plan to navigate through your present and future challenges.

I typically work with creative professionals and entrepreneurs working in:

  • Technology, especially Agile development
  • Music and entertainment
  • Writing, arts, and culture

My most successful coaching relationships, across my entire 30+ year career, have been with folks who want to make great things — whether those are software products, businesses, books, albums, or tours. I’m especially good at helping my coaching clients navigate the conflicts between their creative pull and the needs of their businesses. 

Over a six-month engagement, we’ll work together on identifying and overcoming the roadblocks to your professional goals. Some of my past clients have worked with me on issues such as:

  • Maneuvering through a career change (like switching roles, or even industries).
  • Working through a battle with “imposter syndrome.”
  • Building better relationships with bosses, clients, or peers in your workplace.
  • Integrating your full, creative self in your work.

Every month, we’ll meet for three, 45-minute sessions via Skype. You’ll also gain access to occasional “office hours” calls every month where you can connect with me and with other participants in our coaching program. (Office hours are open to both active clients and “alumni,” so you’ll retain access to these even after our engagement has wrapped up.)

During our coaching engagement, I’ll also assign various homework assignments that you can complete on our secure member portal. We’ll also refer to my “syllabus,” a group of core texts that have served me well over the years. And you’ll have access to me and to our Johns & Taylor team via a private Slack channel, so you can ping us with questions or ideas at any time.

Your monthly retainer is refundable within 30 days of purchase, so there's no risk in working together. However, we invite you to book a one-off "Get to Know Us" session to determine if we're going to be a good fit.
This package includes
  • 3x 45 min appointments per month
  • access to private and group Slack channels
  • access to "The Syllabus" career development & productivity program
