Working with Pete
What changed for the people I work with
Sometimes making work suck less means finding a different job. Sometimes it means finally asking for what would make your current one better. Here's what that has looked like for people I've worked with.
Erin · recovering public defender
A better workday, without changing jobs
Erin wanted more responsibility in her current role, but wasn’t sure how to ask without sounding accusatory. We worked on an email to her supervisor that made the request and struck the right tone.
Her supervisor was receptive, and she took on a larger project. In her words, that significantly improved her day-to-day experience at work. We also talked through her values and what she wanted from her career over the longer term.
“Peter listened and made me feel heard. In addition to being empathetic, he's extremely practical.”Read Erin's full testimonial →
Gabe R. · senior software engineer
Getting clearer about the next step
Gabe was working out his next steps in tech. We worked on tailoring his résumé to the roles he wanted and connecting with people in the industry.
He describes the work as a balance between the ideal and the practical: getting beneath the surface of the problem while continuing to move in the direction he wanted.
“Peter has a unique ability to ask insightful questions that get beyond the surface-level to the core issues.”Read Gabe R.'s full testimonial →
JH · manager and tea sipper
Making sense of the job now, and the one after it
JH came to our conversations unsure where their career was heading. Together we put words to their concerns, explored what they wanted next, and worked on applications and cover letters in their own voice.
They also took ideas from our sessions and the blog into their work mentoring others. As JH puts it, the sessions paid dividends.
“Together, Pete has encouraged me to grow in my current role while also discovering what I want for my next step.”Read JH's full testimonial →
