PREMIUM COACHING
Selective, high-touch partnership
I Learn You
Over time, I understand how you think, communicate, and make decisions.
I'm Here When it Matters
Leadership doesn't happen once a week. No issue is too small or too complex to tackle.
We Move Forward
Every conversation should lead to measurable progress.
Nga never tried to coach the weird out of me :)
J.R., SR STAFF ENGINEER, FAANG
Some of my best decisions arrived during five-minute text exchanges between sessions.
J.P., CEO, EDTECH
I never leave a conversation wondering what to do next.
D.G., CPO, SERIES C
Leadership is not transactional. Executive coaching should not be either.
My high-touch retainer model allows me to invest enough time and attention to understand you. I'm not here to make you fit a mold. I work with you to assess the issue, then plan and execute on decisions uniquely yours.
Who I work with
My work is best suited for founders, executives, senior operators, and high-agency leaders operating in high-stakes environments. Some are in the seat. Some have just left it, or are deciding what comes next. My clients are systems thinkers, fast processors, and leaders whose minds rarely slow down. They need a sharp thinking partner who can keep pace, pressure-test ideas, and help separate signal from noise.
I reserve part of my practice for social sector and rising leaders. If that's you, don't rule yourself out.
THE CONVERSATIONS
The questions don't get simpler at the top
They become more nuanced, more consequential, and often harder to discuss openly.
Strategy & Direction
-
Do we pivot, raise, sell, restructure, or wind this down?
-
Am I still the right leader for this stage?
-
Are strategy, operations, and execution aligned?
-
I just exited. Now what?
Leadership & Execution
-
Do I have the right people in the right roles?
-
Am I solving the right problem?
-
How do I raise the bar without burning people out?
-
Why are my messages not landing the way I think they are?
HOW I COACH
I rarely tell you what to do.
Most coaching fails because the coach does the thinking. You leave with an answer that isn't yours, so you don't act on it. I work the other way.
I'm formally trained to ask the next right question.
My operator background gives me context, not an agenda. Socratic, minus the steering. You know your business better than I do, so I won't walk you to my conclusion. You hold the context. I ask the questions that pull clarity out of it, until we hit the decision you'll actually execute.
Questions, not scripts
The right question does more than the right answer. It changes how you see the problem. The call stays yours.
Untangling the knot
Feelings and data arrive as one knot. I help you find the right thread and pull, until you can see what you're actually optimizing for. Over time, you start asking it yourself.
Reading about it won't tell you. A session will.
I've never been a cookie-cutter corporate type, and I don't coach like one. I'm mission-driven and I like results. I've done it across organized labor, microfinance, and a Fortune 500.
I've been trained to ask the questions that help you see the situation more clearly, and bring my perspective when it's useful. The decisions stay yours.

She calls me on my BS without making me defensive.
L.S., CO-FOUNDER, HEALTHCARE
Hire Nga. It’s like (good) therapy for your career. She kept me sane through a really tough time at my company.
