Coaching With Ecce Griseo: What to Expect

Make Confident Decisions in the Gray Areas of Your Career and Life

Most career coaches give you frameworks. I give you power – the ability to make decisions with conviction, even in uncertainty. At Ecce Griseo (Latin for Behold the Gray), my clients and I embrace the gray areas of work and life. 
The gray areas are seen as the everyday tough calls where there is no obvious answer.

If you’re looking for someone to hand you a step-by-step blueprint, this isn’t it. But if you want to sharpen your thinking, challenge your assumptions, and walk away knowing you made the best decision possible – this is for you.

Our Philosophical Approach

I take inspiration from Nietzsche’s philosophy of self-overcoming and apply it directly to career and life decision-making. Your choices define you so you must learn to make them boldly, as if you will live them over and over again for eternity.

The Coaching Process

The four introductory sessions listed below are built to push you beyond hesitation and into action. In these sessions we will personalize them to break down the way you think, use the philosophy of Nietzsche to challenge your assumptions, and build a decision making process that is uniquely yours.

  • Framing for Clarity
    • The importance of problem framing and how to break down uncertainty into manageable parts.

Nietzschean Perspective

  • The Will to Power
    • Decisiveness is an act of strength; embrace ambiguity as an opportunity to assert control over your own fate.

Who Is This For?

The majority of the people that I work with are professionals in the middle of their career that want to have more structure around their decision making process and in doing so feel more confident about the decisions that they make in the workplace and in their personal lives.
I have also worked with many people that are simply facing a major career crossroad and feel stuck in analysis paralysis.
