Let's talk

You're capable of more.
Let's find the way forward.

I help ambitious people who feel stuck — in their career, their business, or their next chapter — find their bearings and get moving.

Staying stuck has a cost.

The ceiling stays where it is. The dream stays unlaunched. The job search drags on. And the quiet sense that something is wrong — that you're capable of more but can't find the way — gets louder, not quieter, the longer you wait.

What changes when you work with a coach

Alignment and flow

Things stop feeling "wrong." You find a direction that actually fits who you are.

Work that fits

You become someone who's happy to wake up and go to work.

Financial confidence

Less fear of layoffs — or a clearer sense of how to make your venture work.

A clear path forward

The fog lifts. You know where you're going and how to get there.

Jeremy Lightsmith

I know what it's like to be in the fog.

I've been through more pivots than most — launching a consulting practice, running a tech startup, starting a Montessori school, running a Blues Dance venue, getting married, raising two kids, and building a coaching practice. I know what it is to not be sure what happens next, whether it's going to work, or if it's all a terrible idea.

I'm not just someone who has studied change. I've lived it — repeatedly — and I've spent decades helping others move through it too.

I don't just help you get unstuck. I help you become the kind of person who changes what's possible for everyone around you.

What coaching is

Coaching is future-focused — it's about where you want to go and what's in the way. You choose the direction; I lead from behind. My job isn't to solve your problems. It's to help you develop the capability to solve them yourself.

That means more than asking good questions — though that matters. It also means sharing honest observations, challenging beliefs that aren't serving you, naming the things in the room that usually go unsaid, and having the courage to go somewhere uncomfortable when that's what's needed.

What my clients share: they're capable, they're motivated, and something is in the way that they can't navigate without help. Maybe you share that too?

What coaching looks like with me

Usually: 3–6 months  ·  bi-weekly, 60-min sessions

01

What's the challenge?

We get clear on what brought you here — the friction, the ceiling, the thing that's not working. And we build a picture of where you genuinely want to go: not just the surface goal, but the inspired future that will motivate you to push through.

02

Where are you now?

We map your current reality — strengths, blind spots, context, patterns. Sometimes this is quick. Sometimes we bring in outside perspective. Either way, you end up with an honest starting point.

03

Let's go!

How do we get from where you are to where you want to be? We build the plan and you work it — session by session, obstacle by obstacle — adjusting as you grow until you're through the fog and running smooth.

A word on price + timing

I'm completing my certification at the Hudson Institute of Coaching — one of the most rigorous programs in the world — and offering reduced rates to a small number of clients while I do. More support, more engagement, lower price. If you've been thinking about it, now is a good time.
