I spent 27 years building products at Meta, Microsoft, Nokia and Skype. I learned that while we had rigorous systems for product development, we had zero systems for personal sustainability. I built the S.E.P.A.R.A.T.E. Framework™ to fix that.

The Outcomes of Engineering Alignment

Alignment isn't just about feeling better. It is about removing the friction that causes burnout. When you apply the S.E.P.A.R.A.T.E. Framework™, you get measurable results.

Strategic Focus

Stop reacting to noise. We build a proprietary decision-making filter based on your values, so you know exactly what to say 'no' to without hesitation

Engineered Resilience

Burnout isn't about working hard; it's about working against your nature. We align your role with your natural energy patterns so you can sustain high output without the crash.

Defined Metrics

Stop optimizing for generic goals. We redefine your success metrics based on your actual temperament and strengths, ensuring your effort translates directly to impact.

Unlocking Creative Power

Alignment removes the friction of 'pretending.' When you stop managing a persona, you unlock a reserve of creative energy that was previously wasted on maintenance.

Coaching with me isn’t about quick hacks. It’s about lasting alignment. Here’s what clients have experienced after choosing the steeper path.

Chelsea R. 

Lenn provides me a safe space to continuously evaluate my journey and ensure it aligns with my most authentic self. He gently reroutes me when I get lost, always graciously and patiently, helping me pivot away from behaviors leading to dead ends. Lenn is not what I expected to find, yet exactly what I needed.

Suzie S. 

Lenn has been a trusted ally and advisor as I navigate what I want in my career, where I want to go, and how I want to grow. He's made me open my eyes to areas I need to improve on and areas I really excel at and has been a true motivator. 

Ranjani C.

Lenn helped me gain new perspectives and led me to arrive at conclusions on my own, but was critical in guiding me towards those conclusions vs. just telling me. This is what is so special about him - he doesn't just explain a framework or way to think, but creates the forum for his clients to reflect and come up with what's best for them.
