Ready to Level Up Your Professional Quest?
Where proven coaching meets the strategic thinking you already love
You're smart. You solve complex problems for a living. You've probably read the leadership books, taken the courses, and tried the traditional approaches. But somehow, the generic corporate development advice just doesn't click with how your brain actually works.
Sound familiar?
Here's what we know about you: You're likely a software engineer, creative professional, or newly promoted leader who thinks strategically, appreciates systems thinking, and maybe spent more time than you'd care to admit optimizing your D&D character build. You want to do something meaningful with your career, but traditional professional development feels like it was designed for someone else entirely.
Here's what we also know: You're stuck. Maybe it's imposter syndrome holding you back from that next promotion. Maybe it's a side project that never launches because you're perpetually "not quite ready." Or maybe you've been promoted into leadership and you're managing people the same way you'd optimize code – logically, but missing the human element entirely.
What Makes d20coach Different
I'm Nick, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation with a simple belief: the same strategic thinking that makes you excellent at your technical work can make you exceptional at navigating your career – you just need the right framework.
Professional Rigor Meets Creative Problem-Solving Every session combines evidence-based coaching methodologies with the kind of strategic thinking and creative problem-solving that drew you to complex, meaningful work in the first place. Think of it as debugging your professional development with a coach who actually understands how your brain works.
Real Talk, No Corporate Buzzwords We'll talk about building your professional "stats," defining meaningful quests, and navigating the multiplayer dynamics of workplace relationships. The metaphors aren't just fun – they're frameworks that help you think clearly about abstract challenges like leadership, communication, and career strategy.
Outcomes That Actually Matter This isn't about becoming a different person or following someone else's definition of success. It's about becoming the most effective version of yourself and accomplishing the quests that genuinely matter to you.
Who This Works Best For:
Software Engineers & Technical Professionals ready to level up their leadership skills, launch side projects, or navigate the transition from individual contributor to people manager.
Creative Professionals who want to turn their passion projects into sustainable careers, build audiences for their work, or develop the business skills that art school didn't teach.
Newly Promoted Leaders learning to manage people, influence without authority, and develop the "soft skills" that turn out to be incredibly hard.
Strategic Thinkers of all kinds who are tired of professional development that treats them like they've never solved a complex problem before.
