Where senior leaders get stuck is wanting more impact—without ever naming what that actually means. That's exactly what we do.

Act 2 is different. It starts with knowing what you're here to build. With enough precision that you can name it, pursue it, and build toward it regardless of what any organization offers. Most leaders never get there because nobody ever asks them the right question.
A structured process that gets to clarity fast and immediately starts building options.
The specific way you create impact, named clearly enough to use as a compass.
We don't polish it. We find its edge. The part that creates real change and makes the right people lean in.
We ask what your purpose and voice want to become. Doesn't have to be big or public. But it builds conviction and opens new doors.
The flywheel of activities (thought leadership, boards, positions, projects) that come together beyond any single role. Your ecosystem of impact.
This is month-to-month 1:1 coaching—structured, accountable, and built to get you making real moves. The core work typically takes about six months. Most clients stay well beyond that as we keep building.
"I felt like Sisyphus pushing a boulder uphill. Everything was on the table, but I was stuck in an echo chamber of advice. This work shaved years off my journey and helped me stop playing by other people's rules. I'm finally playing a different game now."
"I used to look back on the last seven years and think, 'What have I even been doing?' Once I named my purpose, everything snapped into place. I'm having bigger, bolder, more focused conversations. I'm aiming much higher than I would have before."
"My career would've gotten very still, very quickly. Now I feel back in the driver's seat. I got real clarity about what I'm building, which makes it so much easier to act with confidence."
"I was stuck at a major crossroads. Fear of failure had taken the wheel. This work got me unstuck—and I walked away with a personal framework I can come back to."
"Elliot helped me connect the dots, anchor in my mission, and see bold asks as a form of service. I made moves I never would've attempted before. I can finally say I'm not leaving anything on the table."
"I got way more out of this work than I thought I would. It blew the roof off of where I wanted to go. Now I trust myself to make decisions that will get me closer to peace, fulfillment, and purpose."
When I was a Senior Director in tech, I spent over a year trying to figure out my next move—interviewing, internal conversations, testing my criteria. I was so out of ideas that I laid myself off and took a sabbatical.
That's when I finally had space to ask a different question: "What am I here to build?" That question changed everything. I trained as a coach, named my purpose, started writing again, and built something of my own.
I built Big Decisions Lab out of that place—and from knowing what it actually takes to move through it. I've never felt more ambitious and useful than I do in this work.
I live in Los Angeles with my husband, our son, our dog, and a zoo of small animals.
If you've been trying to figure out your next move for longer than feels comfortable to admit, I'd love to help.
