Meet Coach Toby
Good Coaching Changes Everything.
I’ve changed careers, built companies, raised kids, moved cities, started over, and occasionally wondered what the heck I was doing.
​
And somewhere along the way, I learned that change can be one of the best teachers we get.
I'm a coach for emerging and rising leaders and entrepreneurs. I help people navigate the moments when the path ahead isn't obvious, whether that means stepping into leadership, making a career move, building a business, or simply figuring out what comes next.
​
I help people cut through fear, overwhelm, and confidence issues so they can actually build the career or business they have been dreaming about. Think of me as the steady hand when you are walking the tightrope of leadership or building your business helping you find balance and reminding you to laugh along the way.
Let's build the life, career, and / or business you deserveÂ

My Why
Empowering others to achieve their dreams.
It happened by accident one day. After a random conversation with an incoming college student, they found their path. And then I started mentoring and found that I absolutely loved helping people find their way. So when I was searching for my next gig, coaching was literally screaming at me as the only path forward. And here I am!
Empowering others to achieve their dreams.
How I coach
Support when you need it.
Challenge when you are ready.
Empathy first. You get a real person who has made plenty of mistakes, changed directions, taken risks, and learned from them. I listen without judgment, and I don't assume I know what's best for you.
Curiosity over assumptions. I'm a pattern-finder by nature. I listen for the things you say, the things you don't say, and the patterns that keep showing up. Sometimes the thing getting in your way isn't the problem you walked into coaching with.
A little challenge when you need it. Support doesn't always mean agreeing with you. Sometimes I'll ask the question you've been avoiding. Sometimes I'll challenge an assumption. Sometimes I'll tell you that I think you're making something harder than it needs to be. And sometimes I'll simply listen.
Â
Your goals, your way. I bring experience, tools, frameworks, and perspective. You bring the expertise about your own life, career, or business. Together, we figure out what approach makes sense for you.
Professional, but human. I've worked in big consulting firms, led software organizations, founded a company, sat in executive meetings, managed teams, and made plenty of decisions where the answer wasn't obvious.
I know when to lead, when to listen, when to challenge, and when to get out of the way.
And yes, I'm a recovering hyper-achiever.
That means I know firsthand how easy it is to confuse doing more with moving forward.
