LET’S GET CLEAR

LET’S GET CREATIVE

LET’S GET CATALYTIC

Human Think Partner

Your next breakthrough could be one conversation away.

I specialize in creating the conditions where founders, leaders, innovators, and creatives make sense of what’s swirling in their minds, surface what matters, clarify important decisions, and unlock what’s next.

Fresh eyes. No agenda.

You bring what’s on your mind—a decision, a problem, an idea, or something you can’t quite put your finger on. I bring an independent perspective and an open mind—without judgement, canned solutions, or rigid frameworks.

A special space to think.

Our sessions are calm, confidential, remote, and one hour long—shaped by deep listening, skilled open-ended questions, imaginative inquiry, and creative ideation exercises. You are always the subject matter expert; my role is to deepen your reflection and amplify your intuition.

Crisp ideas that are unmistakably yours.

Some thoughts become clearer when you say them out loud. Our conversation gives you room to follow an idea, untangle a feeling, or put words to something you’ve only sensed. As your mind starts humming and your thoughts begin to flow, you’ll connect dots, crystallize insights, and arrive at solutions that feel right and fire you up.

A skilled sounding board.

As a UC Berkeley Haas–certified executive coach (ICF/ACC) and seasoned thinker (MA/PhD), I bring a highly unique and powerful blend of analytical rigor, creative range, and human intuition to our conversation. I ask questions that help you examine assumptions, explore unexpected connections, and discover possibilities you hadn’t considered.

When great thinking matters.

One sharp question can shift everything. So if you’re building something, leading something, deciding something, becoming something, or simply making sense of something—I’d love to have that conversation with you.

  • "I can share with you how far-reaching the work that you and I did has been."

  • "I feel an enthusiasm that wasn't there before our working session."

  • "Thank you for creating such an easy space and one that allowed me to challenge my own thoughts and ideas."

  • “That was the best first working session I could have had. I feel it opened up a lot of new explorations for me.”

  • "That was an extremely helpful re-frame."

  • "You walk a line between energy and calm that is incredibly intuitive and wonderfully inviting."

  • "I really appreciate what you bring to the conversations and topics we discuss. You have a way of putting things that shows your insight, care, knowledge and curiosity for each topic."

  • "You got me set up really well. I don’t know how I would do it without you."

  • "I am so grateful for the sense of calm and care that you bring to every conversation."

  • "I really admire the breadth of experience you bring."

  • "I had an interview today and it went very smoothly. I think because you helped me crystallize my narrative."

  • "I enjoyed our discussion and provocative questions!"

  • "You're really helping me. I can see the catalysis as you call it."

  • "Deep gratitude for your time and support, Josh. I can't even begin to articulate how much our work together has improved my vision. Looking forward to more!"

  • "That was just the boost I needed."

Hello.

I’m a Berkeley Haas-certified executive coach (ICF/ACC) with a professional background (MA/PhD) spanning science, technology, healthcare, marketing, finance, intellectual property, business development, strategy, communications, Hatha yoga, and creative-agency leadership.

I began my career in drug discovery, building molecules by hand. Over time, my curiosity shifted from traditional chemistry to human chemistry — how people think, connect, solve, create, and move forward.

Eventually, I moved out of the lab and into the world of ideas, partnering with individuals, teams, and organizations across science, technology, and the creative industries. At every step, my best work has always been helping people slow down, make sense of complexity, and find clear, purposeful action.

Today, I’m driven by that same curiosity — creating space for extraordinary people to think creatively, communicate powerfully, and lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Boston native, San Francisco resident. I look forward to connecting and learning more about you. Let’s have that conversation.
