The impediment to action advances action.
What stands in the way becomes the way.
—Marcus Aurelius
Who you are:
You’ve been successful by being smart, working hard, and figuring it out. But this level of pressure is different. Decisions have bigger consequences. Stakes are higher. And for the first time, your old coping mechanisms aren’t enough. You’re more reactive than you want to be. You know you need to rebuild from the foundation—not just survive, but lead from strength.
Here’s what’s happening: The pressure isn’t just stress—it’s exposing the gaps in your mental foundation. You’re trying to handle it the same way you’ve handled everything else: push harder, stay positive, power through. But that’s treating symptoms, not rebuilding the foundation.
You don’t need more productivity hacks or stress management tips. You need mental discipline—the ability to slow down, think clearly, and make decisions from clarity instead of reaction.
The Solution:
I help leaders build that foundation. We work together to:
- Understand your thinking patterns – What’s driving your reactions? Where are you losing clarity? What beliefs are creating the pressure?
- Rebuild decision-making from the ground up – Learn to separate facts from interpretation, recognize your emotional triggers, and choose responses instead of reacting
- Develop real mental discipline – Not “toughing it out” or suppressing emotion, but building the capacity to stay clear-headed when the pressure is highest
This isn’t therapy. It’s not executive coaching focused on skills. It’s rebuilding the mental operating system that everything else runs on.
What Makes This Different:
I’ve been where you are. After 25 years in software development, I hit my own breaking point in Amsterdam—the kind that forces you to rebuild everything. I used Stoic philosophy and mental discipline to climb out of that hole.
I’m not teaching from theory. I’m teaching from rebuilding myself, then helping hundreds of leaders through my podcast, course, and speaking. I know what it’s like when the pressure breaks you. And I know how to rebuild stronger.
The work:
3-month commitment. Weekly 1:1 sessions. This isn’t quick fixes—it’s building your mental foundation so the pressure sharpens you instead of breaking you.
Investment: $2,000/month
