Let me tell you a bit about the clients I serve…
…and a few of the places my clients have landed jobs…
Kyle and I have known each other for many years and he still pushes me to get creative and to think outside of the box. He provides honest feedback and has coached me all throughout my job hunt process. I landed a job at a Fortune 500 company, where I leaned on Kyle for his expertise, guidance, and support. He helped build my confidence and prepared me for top interviews.
I would HIGHLY recommend Kyle to anyone who needs additional support through mentoring, coaching, or simply someone trying to figure out their next career steps.”
–KRISTINA CABALLERO
My clients achieve what they never imagined was possible…
- A CTO who hadn’t interviewed externally in 20+ years identified his unique value proposition, polished his interview skills, and landed a coveted Fortune 500 leadership role.
- A product leader in tech secured her first executive position and a $200K+ raise following an 8-round interview process that included multiple panel interviews.
- An HR executive regained her confidence in her public speaking skills, delivered multiple presentations throughout the job search, and received competing offers.
While your results will vary, know they will be anything but ordinary. That’s my promise.
Kyle is very professional and absolutely pleasant to work with.
As a non-native English speaker, Kyle helped me polish my resume and prepare the job interview. I got my job offer after two sessions with Kyle. He is also very responsive and makes sure that I have every question answered. I would recommend Kyle to anyone who’s so close to their dream job.”
—ELLIE CHANG

Kyle provided career advice and coaching throughout my most recent career transition and interview process which resulted in my landing a job more in alignment for my skillset and long-term career goals. Kyle was readily available throughout the 3 week long process.
He provided tools and timely, critical, feedback which enabled me to leverage my position throughout the interview process and negotiation which ultimately resulted in my success.”
–BRANDON SAPSARA
My coaching philosophy and approach…
- At least 99% of the answers to your questions lie within you. As your coach, my role is to help pull those answers out of you, even when they seem unreachable.
- Deep, moving questions are one of the most powerful tools available to help you get unstuck, own your fabulousness, and achieve what you never imagined was possible.
- No two people are the same. You deserve a bespoke experience and deep insights that you cannot find anywhere else.
- You are fabulous. The world deserves to know how fabulous you are and experience the gifts that only YOU have to offer.
Kyle was exactly what I needed when I needed it.
I had a goal to change jobs and I was having mediocre success at getting attention and landing interviews but it wasn’t for jobs that really interested me. Then I started working with Kyle and the opportunities just started rolling in. I left each session with him with action items and full of positivity. Following his methods I landed multiple interviews. I went from not really knowing what I wanted, to knowing exactly what I wanted and obtaining it. I highly recommend investing in yourself and working with him!”

How I partner with you to make the best first impression possible…
As you review the following tech interview coaching packages, remember that a great first impression can be the difference between landing a job you LOVE and getting rejected. I teach you how to make the best first impression possible.
While plenty of interview coaches offer mock interviews, I instead offer a bespoke coaching experience you cannot find anywhere else. I harness my deep expertise in coaching to help you own your fabulousness, rethink and recreate your career story, and confidently walk into tech interviews.
Additionally, please know that I work with a very limited number of career coaching clients at a time. My clients achieve what often feels impossible, because I am deeply committed to their success and their happiness. As a result, my coaching practice is application-only. I often have a waiting list for new interview coaching clients.
Note that my typical client makes six or seven figures and loses at least $5,000+ every week when they are unemployed, and this does not include health insurance and other benefits.
When you take into account the $25,000 to $60,000+ salary increases my clients often receive with their new job offers, your package is a small investment that will pay for itself many times over. Also, many of my clients receive $10,000 to $100,000+ sign-on bonuses (plus stock options) with their new jobs.
And, if you are considering an interview coach you found online, I encourage you to read this article I wrote for Forbes on how to vet top coach lists (and the coaches themselves), this article on questions to ask when looking for a coach, and this article on how to avoid online coaching scams.
If my services are beyond your budget, I am happy to provide you with a referral to an industry colleague. Please contact me with your needs and budget.

I had a fantastic experience partnering with Kyle.
I reached out to Kyle to specifically help me prepare for in-person interviews. I didn’t expect him to serve as a much-needed resource throughout the entire recruiting process! Kyle was easily accessible via text and e-mail at any time. Kyle gave me confidence and made me see my worth. There is no way I could have made it through the recruiting process with such a good offer on the table without him!”

When you’re ready to achieve the impossible, I’m here for you.
I enjoyed working with Kyle. He was very helpful with my preparation for my interviews. He assisted me in crafting powerful stories so that I could stand out better as a candidate. He pushed me to identify what sets me apart from other candidates and how to show how fabulous I am. He encouraged me to demonstrate what I did, what was my impact, how I could add value to the organization, and to tie it back to the role. He was very responsive anytime I reached out with questions or needed some advice regarding my interviews, which I greatly appreciated it.
He brought a positive attitude, which was very welcome during a stressful job search process.”
–Brandon Wasserman

- C-suite executives (including CEO, CFO, CAO, CCO, COO, CMO, CHRO, CIO, CTO, CISO, and CRO) and senior business leaders (EVPs, SVPs, VPs, Heads, and Directors) at Fortune 100 and Global Fortune 500 companies (both tech and non-tech), hyper-growth startups (pre-IPO, PE-backed, and VC-backed), large privately held companies, publicly traded companies, and multinational conglomerates

I haven’t interviewed in 5, 10, 20+ years. Can you help me?
Absolutely! You’re in the right place. Many of my clients are senior managers and executives who have not interviewed in a decade or more.
My Zone of Genius is helping you rethink, reimagine, and recreate how you share your career stories. I partner with you to increase your confidence, eliminate your interview jitters, and get you more job offers.
What if I want to cover a topic(s) that is not listed in one of your programs?
Let’s do it! Each of my interview coaching programs is customized to your unique needs, goals, and learning style. During your no-obligation consultation, first session, and throughout the program, we will determine what areas to focus on to ensure you make the best first impression possible.
The topics listed above are purely for illustrative purposes. In fact, some clients choose to ditch the topics listed and create a 100% individualized program.
You will quickly learn that one of my greatest talents is curating a one-of-a-kind experience that ensures your success.

Additional interview coaching sessions are available at $475 per session (50 minutes). All sessions include highly caffeinated session notes in addition to customized “homework” to keep you on track toward achieving your career goals.
Do you offer refunds?
Nope. I only work with leaders who are ready to show up fully and put in the effort needed to achieve lasting change. Coaching is a collaborative process that involves multiple sessions, deep reflection, and significant “homework.” While your program will be customized to meet your unique goals, please expect to commit extensive time and energy to the process.
When can we start?
I run an application-only coaching practice. I often have a waiting list due to a full coaching practice and busy speaking schedule. Click here to schedule a no-obligation consultation.
Oh no, I have a last-minute interview! Can you help me?
Maybe! I set aside time on my calendar each week for my popular Last-Minute Interview Coaching Program. Contact me to see if I currently have an opening to help you prepare for your upcoming interview.
I hired Kyle for a last minute interview after seeing his portfolio and great reviews. By the end of our first session I was impressed by Kyle’s ability to identify the areas of improvement – surprisingly not the ones I thought about – followed by a direct and concise follow up. He is direct, precise and his ability to ask the right questions is amazing.
Needless to say I landed the job I wanted, and cannot be happier about it.”
