I enjoy having good conversations. By that, I mean the kind of connective discussions that can open up new possibilities and create real differences in life outcomes.
I'm especially interested in talking to:
–People stuck in an impasse, wondering
why am I not doing what I want to do, or
is this situation impossible to navigate–People who want to increase their baseline happiness and are willing to experiment with different ways of doing this
–People who are dissatisfied with relationships/dating/intimacy
I don't love the word "coaching," but I don't know of a better word for "assisted mindfulness with frank feedback." So I'm going with coaching as a label for what I do.

Testimonials
“It's hard to put into words how much of an impact Sasha has had on me. Working with Sasha has changed my life. I've learnt so much about myself, how I see the world, and the patterns that play out from work to my relationships. Sasha has a remarkable ability to identify what is really happening in the moment and he'll often say things that I reflect back on for weeks after. That's not to say it's all serious. He does it all with care, fun and a sense of humour.” –Jaysen Sutton, Founder, The Corporate Law Academy
“Working with Sasha was incredibly eye-opening — he has an exceptional ability to help you see your own thought patterns and limiting beliefs that you weren’t even aware you were thinking. Seeing myself more clearly has allowed me to liberate myself and be much happier in being myself, and I truly don’t think any other coach or activity could have done this for me.” –K. L.
“Working with Sasha as a coach is great. He is extremely good at poking at my emotional blocks with just the right blend of compassion and bluntness. He listens patiently and attentively to my excuses and ramblings and then points directly at the thing I'm avoiding in ways that help me look at it with new, more constructive eyes. This, of course, is not always a pleasant experience, but it is an intensely valuable one.” –Michael Ashcroft
What I think I’m unusually good at
–Striking a balance between listening deeply and vocally challenging assumptions
–Helping people develop more sophisticated understandings of their strengths, weaknesses, and growth areas
–Navigating ways out of longstanding maladaptive behavioral patterns
I suspect I would work especially poorly with
–People who are unwilling to try contemplative approaches to their issues (by which I mean, things that look a little bit like meditation)
–People who are unwilling to deal with feedback (I do give advice and opinions, I just try to listen a lot first, and hold my opinions lightly)
–People dealing with serious trauma, psychosis, or active suicidal ideation (I do not have the expertise and dearly hope you find the help you need)
