Turn “Someday” Into Day One In Just 3 Coaching Sessions
Overthinking, second-guessing, or stuck waiting for the right time to take action on what you want? Let’s break the cycle and get you moving, fast.
INTRODUCING
The First Step Challenge
For everyone who keeps putting off getting help — this is your permission to finally start.
In just three private coaching sessions, you'll move from "I really want to do this, but I keep hesitating" to taking a real step toward it. No pressure. No judgment. Just clear, practical support designed for people who find it hard to start & ask for help.
Why This Challenge Exists
Built for the overthinkers and hesitators who feel stuck, always "almost ready", and keep promising they'll figure it out on their own—"later." Your first step doesn't have to be perfect—with evidence-based coaching, you'll turn "I really want to" into "I'm doing it" without the overwhelm.
Why Most People Stay Stuck
Even the most driven people can feel stuck — often avoiding help out of fear or vulnerability. But seeking guidance isn’t weakness; it’s courage. Every successful person you admire has moved forward with support.
What You'll Experience
A judgment-free space where your hesitation is understood and small steps count as real progress. You'll gain clarity on what's keeping you stuck, confidence to take imperfect action, and proof that support doesn't have to feel scary.
This is your invitation to stop waiting for “someday.”
Choose courage. Choose momentum. Take your first step.
Does this sound like you?
The Dreamer
You know you’re meant for more — you have big ideas, goals, and passions, but you’re unsure where to start. You want to turn that energy into something real and lasting.
The Doubter
You’ve tried before — set goals, made plans, but ended up second-guessing yourself or losing momentum. Deep down, you’re ready to rebuild your confidence and try again.
The Stuck Achiever
You’ve achieved things before, but now you feel trapped in old patterns or unsure what’s next. You’re ready to break through the plateau and move forward with clarity and purpose.

What you'll gain in this challenge
🌟 Step 1: Get Clear on What Truly Matters
We slow down before we gain momentum. Across three focused coaching sessions, we'll pause together to explore the questions that matter most: "What do I really want and why does it matter to me?"
This isn't about chasing external expectations or borrowed dreams. It's about discovering the authentic desires that resonate with who you are, and aligning your choices with what genuinely energizes and fulfills you.
Together, we'll work to:
✅ Discover your guiding values, the internal compass that brings clarity to every decision
✅ Connect your aspirations to deeper purpose and move beyond surface goals to what truly inspires you.
✅ Build discernment by learning to distinguish what's merely urgent from what's genuinely important
✅ Design a path that feels authentic and truly reflects who you are, inspiring excitement along the way
This coaching process integrates positive psychology principles and resilience-building techniques to help you grow from the inside out with experienced guidance from Ken.
What you'll gain:
A grounded sense of self-awareness, renewed confidence in your direction, and the inner clarity to move forward on your path... not one defined by others.
The outcome? You'll experience both liberation and focus: the freedom to choose what's right for you, anchored by a deep understanding of your own motivation and values. This foundation is rooted in positive psychology and resilience-building. Through it, we will support not just immediate clarity, but lasting growth.
🔓 Step 2: Map Your Current Reality & Unblock Progress
We're going to figure out what's really going on with no BS and no judgment.
Here's what we'll do:
✅ Transform uncertainty into clarity by identifying what energizes you and what's holding you back.
✅ Uncover the real roadblocks, hidden obstacles, habits, and beliefs keeping you stuck.
✅ Turn setbacks into comebacks by shifting from "why me?" to "what now?" with proven recovery strategies.
✅ Stop overthinking everything and just pick one thing and do it, without waiting for perfection.
You’ll leave with a simple map of your “now” and momentum that starts today.
You're not stuck forever; you've just been using strategies that don't serve what you want, and who you want to become. We'll create a fresh approach that actually works for your life right now.
Outcome: a one-page map of your “now” and one action you’ll commit to taking today. (Example: “Mute phone after 8pm and write tomorrow’s top 3 goals.”)
⚙️ Step 3: Commit to Tiny, Inevitable Actions
This is where we stop thinking about it and actually do something. No more getting stuck in analysis mode; just figuring out small stuff that works with how you already live.
What we're doing:
✅ Finding adjustments that fit into your actual routine (not some ideal version of it)
✅ Building habits around how you actually are as a person, so they don't feel forced
✅ Get rid of whatever keeps tripping you up so you can shift from 'ugh, I should really...' to 'yeah, I just do this now.'
✅ Using curiosity instead of beating yourself up, just little low-stakes tries to see what happens
You're not walking out of this with some giant overwhelming game plan. You're starting with just a few small things that feel totally doable, maybe even hard not to do once you get going. Small steps first lead to bigger wins down the road.
🚀 Step 4: Create Your 30-Day Momentum Plan
Okay, now we're tying it all together so you can actually keep going without it feeling like a chore. By now, you'll have gotten a taste of what coaching can do for you.
What you're getting:
✅ A 30-day map that breaks down your bigger goals into stuff you can do today
✅ Complete one weekly check-in worksheet and schedule your reflection time with me
✅ A way to get back on track when life goes sideways (because it will, so we'll plan for it)
✅ A simple reflection habit that keeps you flexible and showing up
By the time we're done, you won’t just have a plan hidden in a notebook that you’ll never revisit. You’ll have a real, tangible plan that gives you momentum. Most importantly, you’ll have the confidence to know you’re capable of taking action.
You'll know what actually matters to you, how to move toward it without stressing, and how to keep at it even when things get messy.
The result? Steady progress, because coaching helps you turn ideas and potential into real growth and meaningful change that supports the life you want. When you’re ready, we can take that next step together.

THE FIRST STEP CHALLENGE™
From Overthinking to Action—
In Just 3 Coaching Calls
The Missing Piece (1%)
You’ve had 99% of the answer — your passions, motivation, drive, ideas, resources—but you’re missing the tiny, crucial bridge between intention and action: guided decision-making, intentional reflection, friction removal, mental and mindset growth, and real accountability.
That “last-mile” gap is why even the best of the best work with coaches—founders, CEOs, creators, elite competitors & athletes—and everything in between (trust me, I've worked with them). They don’t rely on willpower alone; they install a system and environment that turns clarity into commitment.
The Challenge is Simple
but Powerfully Disruptive
What You Walk Away With
Imagine 7 Days From Now, You're…
✔ Making real decisions you’ve been avoiding for months
✔ Getting greater perspective and insights on yourself and what you want
✔ Speaking your mind with calm confidence
✔ Moving forward instead of staying stuck on autopilot, in a loop
✔ Confident enough to clear that 2022 Trello task
✔ Feeling like your future isn’t just a fantasy but something you can accomplish
The Real Life Benefits of Taking
Your First Step With Coaching
What We Do Together
In each call we focus on what you truly want, what’s truly keeping you from it (including obstacles, beliefs, and your own patterns), and we unravel those challenges until we reach a clear decision and a point of action.
You’ll leave with follow-through you can trust and a plan that fits your real life.
Not just theory, but EVIDENCE-BASED COACHING to get you
unstuck and gets you moving this week

Wasting potential, missing life’s opportunities
Frustrated potential remains unrealised reality.
The Action Architecture Protocol
To close that gap, we'll start your coaching journey with a structured, intentional
protocol that tackles both the micro and the macro:

Constraint & blocker mapping: beliefs, skills, systems, environment—what’s in the way (even you)
Action Architecture: tiny, inevitable actions + friction design so follow-through sticks
Trajectory Plan: a practical 30-day runway aligned with longer-term shifts

This is for you if:
This is for you if…
You keep telling yourself “someday” when it comes to that business or creative idea… but deep down, fear of messing up or looking foolish is the real reason you haven’t started.
You’re thinking about changing careers or going after a promotion, but self-doubt and “what if I’m not good enough?” thoughts keep you frozen.
You want deeper relationships, connection, and community—whether it’s finding your "people" or tribe, meaningful friendships, setting boundaries, or stepping away from spaces that no longer feel right to you, but you don't know how to begin.
You’ve imagined yourself living boldly—leaving the job that drains you, finally pursuing what lights you up, maybe even moving to a new city. But instead, you're stuck watching from the sidelines, wondering why you still can’t take the leap.
You look confident on the outside, but on the inside you’re battling perfectionism, procrastination, and quiet self-sabotage
You constantly question your own thoughts, mute your voice, and delay decisions because you’re scared of choosing “wrong”
Don't worry, I can help!

INTRODUCING

The First Step Challenge
Evidence-based coaching designed to move you from stuck to in motion — fast. You’ll do three private coaching sessions. And while the cadence is flexible, change begins in as little as 7 days—often within your very first week.
All too often, people who have passion and potential, yet are struggling, do not ask for help or guidance. It can come from the discomfort of being vulnerable, fear of judgment, or even fear of being rejected when asking for help. But here’s the truth — seeking support isn’t weakness, it’s true courage. Every successful person you admire has leaned on mentors, coaches, and guides along the way. And I'm here to support you with encouragement, understanding, and empowerment.
In this First Step Challenge, you'll learn that coaching with me provides a safe space to turn vulnerability into strength, feel heard and understood instead of judged, and truly supported and accepted. In this challenge, we ask you to choose courage and optimism—and to take the first step towards building true momentum you believe in.
COMMON CONCERNS
"I should be able to do this alone"
If information alone worked, you’d already be thriving—satisfied, successful, complete. The Action Architecture Protocol is the last-mile system that turns knowing into doing.
"I'm not sure I understand coaching yet"
Coaching, like all growth, requires commitment in the journey. This is why the First Step Challenge gives you a taste of what coaching can do for you. You leave with decisions made, next steps chosen, unique personal insights, and a written 30-day plan built for your real life situation & constraints.
"I don't have time"
Coaching is powerful especially when low on time, as you get my expertise and advocacy to re-orient you, even when you're dealing with the day-to-day. It’s 3 × ~50 minutes, scheduled around you—and it replaces the countless hours lost to rumination, start-stop cycles, and lost opportunities.
"How do I know it will work for me?"
My coaching approach, based on years of experience with a range of client challenges, is tailored to your background and needs. I listen first, and get to your true needs. This is the coaching approach I've used to help hundreds make meaningful moves—hitting the ground running.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that taking the first step can feel overwhelming, so we've compiled answers
to the most common questions our clients ask.
Question 1: What exactly is the First Step Challenge?
The First Step Challenge is a short, powerful coaching experience designed to help you get out of your head and into action. Through three private 1-on-1 sessions with a mental performance coach, you'll gain clarity, confidence, and momentum on the goals and decisions you’ve been avoiding. This gives you a taste of what coaching can do for you.
Question 2: Who is this challenge for?
This is for passionate, driven people who feel stuck, even though they know they’re meant for more. Whether you're procrastinating on a creative idea, second-guessing what you want, hesitating to make a career move, or just overthinking every decision, you’re in the right place—coaching is for you.
Question 3: How is this different from therapy or a regular coaching program?
This isn’t therapy, which is focused on diagnosing mental health conditions. Coaching—especially drawing upon positive psychology and performance—recognizes that there are many who may not be suffering from debilitating mental illness, but still are unhappy or unsatisfied in their lives. Coaching has the goal of helping you build a confident self and a thriving life. While coaching is typically longer than 3 sessions, this is a focused, short-term challenge built my coaching experience & background in psychology. We'll have real, meaningful conversations that dive into what's important, cut through mental noise, and get you moving forward.
Question 4: What kind of results can I expect after the 3 sessions?
Everyone’s experience is different, but most people walk away with more clarity, a better understanding of what’s been keeping them stuck, and practical next steps they feel ready to take. Coaching provides an intentional, consistent space for you to reflect, reorient to what matters, and commit to change, growth, and action. It’s not about fixing everything overnight, it’s about making real progress where it counts.
Question 5: What if I’m nervous or don’t know exactly what I want yet?
That’s exactly why this challenge exists. You don’t need to have it all figured out, and you are not alone - I've worked with many clients who feel lost. That’s what the coaching sessions are for. You come in as you are, and we will help you untangle overthinking, discover and reconnect with your “why,” and clarify your next steps without pressure or judgment.
