Desmond's coaching was a game-changer during my career transition. His ability to truly listen - without rushing to solutions - helped me reframe my perspective and take action with clarity. He brings a rare mix of deep experience, structured methodology, and genuine emotional support, making it easy to navigate the uncertainty that comes with change. Desmond didn't just help me land a new role - he helped me redefine what success looks like for the long haul. His approach sharpened my job search strategy, expanded how I engaged my professional network, and kept me accountable while offering unwavering encouragement. More than anything, Desmond's guidance helped me tap into my own strengths in a way that goes far beyond just the next career move.

This coaching helped me make meaning of complex symbols that were showing up in my life and resonating with me. Through this process I found renewed purpose and energy to work towards my goal and keep myself accountable. Desmond was a profoundly wise guide -- steadfast in his support and gently facilitative in helping me face my fears.

I began working with Desmond a couple of years after my repatriation, following 11 years overseas. Unlike most people I spoke with, he immediately understood the complex layers of my situationleaving behind a job, a life, and a marriage; facing financial challenges; losing a professional and personal network; and essentially rebuilding from the ground up. I didnt have to explain muchhe just got it. The support Desmond provided as I closed that chapter of my life was incredibly robust, insightful, and deeply empathetic. His extensive international experience, both professionally and personally, brought a level of understanding and nuance that made all the difference. Working with him helped me find clarity, regain hope, and move forward during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I would highly recommend Desmond to anyone navigating international career moves, relocations, repatriations, or the unique challenges of working overseas. Im incredibly grateful to have found him when I did!

Previously, coaching felt like problem, processing problem, solution. This work felt different- adding context to understand holistically where I am and what I am trying to achieve. As in: is this the right problem to solve or just a subset of something bigger? Are there factors I should see with a broader perspective? Are there parts of myself that I can bring to the table more effectively or shadows holding me back? I came in thinking I just needed answers for a big professional change. But I walked away appreciating how this goal interweaves across my life. I realized that I needed to tap into a fuller set of internal resources, mental and spiritual that I hadn't been giving their full due. I enjoyed working through multiple mediums including conversation, journaling, and visualization among others, in order to develop my best way to do this work. Desmond brought his full self to the work and focused on what would serve me individually best.
