Keep Winning
at Work
Without losing
your mind.
The better your results look, the harder it is to say they never feel enough. Knowing the problem hasn’t fixed it.
With my 1:1 work, your thinking stays sharp, your head feels quieter and you’ll be confidently yourself without faking it.
“I brought the challenge of tackling imposter syndrome. I now have a clearer frame of mind, along with a practical path forward.”
Rachael, Software Developer
You’re tired of needing to prove yourself. Exhausted even.
People trust your work. You still worry they’ll see through you.
On the inside, you second-guess yourself, hold back what you really wanted to say and later replay it all. It’s draining, I know.
I spent a decade in high pressure tech environments. I pushed harder, stayed longer, and still felt like I was falling short of my own expectations. I had to figure out how to outgrow ‘fake it ‘til you make it’, the drawn out, painful way. Evenings on the couch, secretly feeling like an imposter. The low point was burning out.
Now I help high achievers in tech overcome the patterns that follow them home. I learned what actually works so now my goal is to help you be excellent at work without risking your health.

Who is Chris?
I’m a coach based in Cork, Ireland, accredited by the International Association of Mind Coaches, with 7+ years in tech leadership and an MSc in Personal & Management Coaching from University College Cork.
I help clients worldwide overcome stress patterns like overthinking, imposter syndrome and self-sabotage, all of which can lead to burnout.
Working with Chris is a good fit if you want to:
Stop overworking and get guilt-free evenings back
Speak up in meetings, without second-guessing yourself
Stop saying yes when you really want to say no
Be confidently yourself at work to stop the pretending
Especially if you’re:
Worried things won’t change since you tried everything
ꔛ
Stuck going around in circles, unsure what to do next
𖦹
Spending days off dreading the work week ahead
ᝰ
Detached from work, and want it to mean something again

“Probably I would have said yes just out of fear”
Willem turned down a good job because it was not what he wanted. Before working together he would have gone for it out of fear. Watch what else improved for him.
Willem was mainly applying to jobs that felt safe because he didn’t know what he wanted. In 10 weeks, he went from sceptical about working together to knowing what gives him energy and joining an exciting company that ticked all the boxes. Had he taken the wrong job out of fear, he’d probably still be there.

Julie, Head of People Development
I gained so much clarity after coaching with Chris; I felt physically lighter and my mind was clearer after just a first session.
I felt like I was very much in the driver's seat, while still being supported, and challenged, which shows his skill as a coach.
Highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to move towards a goal or gain clarity. You'll get to work with someone who will listen well, not judge, ask insightful questions and help you gain a new perspective!

Beni, Freelance Translator
I felt anxious, second guessing my choices, and unable to filter out all the outside noise to figure out what felt congruent with my values.
Within just a couple of sessions, I already had a much better sense of what these values really are, what truly matters to me, and the things from which I derive a sense of purpose.
Chris really showed a remarkable ability to listen carefully not only to the words I shared, but also to the subtext behind them, in order to get to the heart of what truly mattered.

Jesko, B2B Campaign Manager
I came to Chris in a time of big life shifts, unsure about the decisions I needed to make and with the need for structure and a plan. Within no time, he helped me to figure out where I stood, to refocus on where I wanted to go and to see more clearly how I would get there.
By asking the right questions and helping me reflect on the answers, Chris' coaching helped replacing my confusion and apprehensiveness with clarity in just a few focused sessions. Thanks to a newfound direction and with confidence, I was able to formulate a plan and execute it to bring order and purpose back into my professional life.
Chris' coaching style is empathetic, structured and goal-oriented, and not least fun. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Lucas, Web Development Consultant
After leaving my job, I wanted to get some clarity on where I want to go next. I never had coaching before, and I was not entirely sure what to expect.
In our sessions I was surprised to see how Chris brought me to do plenty of reflections with some small nudges, but mostly really active listening. This really helped me discover what my core values are and how they can guide me in my decision-making.
With Chris's help, I established new habits that help me to regularly check if I'm still on the right track.

Jessica, Marketing & Comms Professional
Receiving coaching and guidance from Chris over the last few months has been a genuinely grounding experience during a period of professional uncertainty. He’s helped me step back and see what really matters to me in my work, my priorities, and the direction I want to pursue.
He has a brilliant way of holding up a mirror and asking the questions that have made me think a lot deeper, rather than harder. Every session ends with a sense of clarity and a few clear, actionable steps to move forward with greater confidence.
I’d recommend Chris to anyone looking for a calm, insightful coach to help them untangle their thoughts to make sense of their career and next steps.

Pedro, Talent Solutions Consultant
Before working with Chris, I felt uncertain about my next professional steps and whether coaching was the right path for me. Chris guided me through a values exercise.
For the first time, I saw a clear, authentic list of what truly drives me, and it was eye-opening.
Now, I move forward in my career with confidence and purpose, grounded in my values. I’m deeply grateful for Chris’s support and insight.
FAQs

We talk through what’s going on for you right now: whether that’s a specific challenge, or a more general difficulty you’re facing.
As the coaching client, you bring specific examples of where you feel stuck or want to make progress. As your coach, I ask questions, reflect back, and create structure that opens up progress.

A clear goal is useful but not required.
You might feel like something’s off and find it hard to put into words. Or you may have a long-term vision, feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to act on it. Coaching helps bring clarity to both.
-
That’s often the best time to start.
If you’re too busy, coaching helps you get clear on what matters most. If you’re overwhelmed, the work helps you clear your racing mind.
You’ll leave behind things that no longer work for you, opening up more time and relief in the process.
-

-
You’re emotionally exhausted. The pace at work has been fast for some time now but lately you’re finding it harder to keep up. Tasks that were always quick or easy take more out of you now. Concentration is spotty and brain fog is regular. On hindsight, those were the signs I ignored leading up to my four month break from work.
Burnout varies from person to person but most experience extreme tiredness and feel cynical and detached from work. The main cause is unmanaged stress and pushing through when rest is needed.
-
Therapy focuses on healing, often by exploring the past, including your childhood.
Coaching meets you where you are right now to build the future you’ve been wishing for. There can be some overlap, but coaching focuses on achieving forward momentum.
Many therapy approaches only prioritise building self-awareness, which can become a ceiling if not paired with action. My coaching does both.
