More information about Geoff M.

I am a former Senior Release Engineer and Manager at Google, as well as a former Director of Software Engineering at Pandora. I worked in infrastructure since 1995 and was known for building and nurturing high-performing teams. Today, I am retired and focused on interview, leadership, and career coaching. I'm an ICF PCC-accredited coach and have coached over 750 clients over the past 5+ years.
While at Google, I conducted ~200 interviews, primarily for senior-level, staff, and senior staff-level roles (L5-L7). At Pandora, I conducted ~100 interviews for senior-level candidates up to the Director level. I am best leveraged for behavioral, people management, leadership, and backend/infrastructure system design mock...
I conduct resume reviews differently from most coaches. I don't write or rewrite resumes as there are plenty of well-qualified professionals who do that (including AI tools). Instead, I pretend to be a hiring manager who has been handed your resume by a recruiter for an open role on my team, asking me to either greenlight...
This is the work that I love the most because it allows me to make the most significant impact on people's careers. Unlike a mock interview session, which is highly focused on performing well in a time-crunched, intensive environment to obtain a job, this type of session delves deeper into what makes you tick, who you...
In our current vernacular, management and leadership are often conflated. They are quite different. Management is typically characterized as an authority role, where power in this role is granted in exchange for protection, direction, and order within a team or organization. Leadership is a verb: everyone can (and should)...
Unfortunately there’s no cookie cutter answer to that question as every situation is different. We recommend doing one or two sessions with a coach to get started. They’ll be able to give you an assessment of how many sessions you’ll need overall.
No credits never expire.
Yes, unused credits can be refunded within 30 days of getting purchased. After 30 days the credits cannot be refunded anymore, but you can still use them at any point in the future.
If you do get a refund it will be corrected for the discount you initially got. As an example, imagine you have purchased 10 credits, and paid 10 x $48 = $480. If you end up only using 5 credits, we will refund you the difference between what you have paid ($480), and what you would have paid had you purchased 5 credits (5 x $50 = $250). So in this specific example we would refund: $480 - $250 = $230.
Credits cost $50 to $40 per credit. The more you buy, the cheaper they get.
Coaches cost 2, 3, 4 or 5 credits per 1h coaching session.
Yes you can use credits with any coach.
Yes you can use credits for any service..
Coaching sessions can be cancelled and rescheduled for free by giving us more than 24h notice. In other words, if you decide you don’t need the session anymore and tell us more than 24h in advance it will be eligible for a refund as an "unused" session. Or if you decided that you want to do the session at another time and tell us more than 24h in advance we will reschedule it for free.
If you fail to attend a coaching session, or are more than 15mins late, the session will be considered a "no show" and it will count as having been used.
If you aren’t satisfied with one of your coaching sessions for any reason, get in touch with us within 24h of the end of your session and you’ll be eligible for a refund. We refund up to 1 coaching session per user.
Coaches’ bios might look intimidating because some of them have worked at big companies and have senior titles. But they’re all genuinely interested in helping you out. They’re here for you, will show empathy, and do their best to help you achieve your goals.
One hour might not seem like a lot. But coaches are used to making the most of the time. They’ll come ready to the session so you can cover the topics that are important to you and walk away with concrete next steps.
