You have aspirations and desires to grow yourself and get promoted. You want to lead and get paid as a leader.

Are you confident you are doing everything you should?

Are you reading and listening to what matters?

Is your network large enough and well connected?

Who do I call when I don’t know what to do?

Talk to any business veteran with 10+ years of experience, and they'll likely tell you things like this:

  • It would have gone better if I’d had a coach when I was younger.

  • I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

  • I was scared to look dumb if I asked questions in the office.

  • Nobody taught me how to stand out.

  • I didn’t know how to make it clear I wanted to lead.

  • If only I'd read that book back then…

  • My coworkers weren’t much help as advisors.

  • I didn’t even know what some of the stuff people said meant.

Chances are, you've said a few of these things to yourself recently.

I hope your aspirations go well beyond middle management—but if that's where you are, it’s a great place to sharpen your leadership skills.

This is your time to learn.

Let me help you make the most of it.

Why am I doing this for $99?

Because I care deeply about the next generation in the workforce—and I remember how hard it was to get started.

When I was at Verizon, I had a few great directors. But true mentorship? It was rare. There was no structured coaching or someone to help me navigate the big questions.

Later, when I started a company backed by angel investors, I finally got the mentorship I needed—but it came with high expectations and real strain on my family.

Most people will go their entire careers without ever having a coach.

But coaching early can radically accelerate your growth.

This cohort is my way of offering what I wish someone had offered me: clarity, guidance, and support—at a time when it can make the biggest difference.

Group CEO Coaching for career coaching and business coaching - Steven Van Ooyen

Steven was far and away the best manager I've ever worked with. He was always very interested in the technical details of the software he managed and always pushed me to innovate and write solid code.Steven was far and away the best manager I've ever worked with.

Steven helped me navigate through some challenging work situations and focus on my principles and objectives. Specifically, he helped me keep things in perspective and to approach my leadership in the right way to gain the promotion I was aiming for.

Most importantly, he helped me lean into my strengths which radically changed how I felt about my job.

Each of us has God-given and nurtured strengths. We carry ambitions, set goals, and encounter opportunities. I believe we have a responsibility—to ourselves, our families, and to society—to maximize those gifts for the good of others.

A successful career isn’t just about titles or paychecks. It gives us the freedom to be more intentional with our families, more impactful in our communities, and more generous with those in need.

When you start your learning journey early, you multiply your potential. You gain momentum that carries you forward—and along the way, you discover the joy of making a meaningful difference.

I look forward to hearing your story—and watching you exceed your own expectations and silence the self-limiting messages that hold so many back.
