What Professionals Are Saying...
Landed a Job at Google
David Samuel
Data Product Manager, Data Architect/Engineer
I have been in work force limbo for close to 2 years after receiving my Master’s Degree. I recently decided to take a stand, and get some help.
I found Brad on themuse.com, and he was very responsive, and excited to help me. We sat down for about an hour for our first session to hash out some deep rooted issues that have plagued my recent career search.
Brad gave me the confidence to succeed in all my interviews. And, a few weeks later, I was able to land a job with Google!
Got the Promotion In the Industry He Wanted and Now Speaking as a Leader.
Shubham Khoje
Industrial Engineer | 🏭 Industry 4.0 Enthusiast
When I met Brad, I had finished school and recently started a job, was stuck in my quarter-life crisis not knowing what to do next. I invested in myself and started working with him, that was probably the best decision I have taken during that phase. Brad does a great job of asking you the questions that dig deeper and go beyond your comfort zone to get the answers that your brain really wants rather than the flowery top-level answers you have for the world. Working with Brad has given me the confidence that I was missing to take control of my life and a I found a clear direction for my career. Not only that, talking to Brad motivated me every time I was at a low point and he pushed me to take efforts in the direction of my goal. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their life and unfold layers of your personality that are hidden beneath.
Got the Promotion He Deserved and Where He Wanted.
Alvaro G Alezard, MBA, CPAA
Results-Driven Finance & Operations Executive
I met Brad through a LinkedIn post, it was a simple one that I just happen to read, since then I call Brad not only my mentor, but my friend. Brad has been an extraordinary support in my search for not only new job opportunities, but beyond that, in a process of internal transformation that has helped me to discover my true value to any organizations, and why not, to the world.
Brad doesn't give up on anyone, and his simple but meaningful way is a testament to his mission in this life ... Leave everything better than he found it. If you are looking for someone who will support you without any interest other than make you feel happy and proud of who you are and the value you have in this world ... Brad is the answer you are looking for.
From Stuck to Landing his Next Role
Foster Taliaferro
Director of Technical Services - Arcosa Aggregates
I had the pleasure of working with Brad during a recent career transition and was very satisfied with the results of our conversations. He got me thinking about how to define what really drives me. I have already taken some steps and seen positive feedback as a result of his coaching. He is an excellent listener, intuitive and has the unique ability to help others get to the root of what may be preventing them from achieving their full potential. Anyone who may be unsure of their next step would be well served to schedule some time with Brad.
Finally Understood Her Real Worth!
Rithu Rajan
B2B Product Manager
I was trying to make my second career transition and working with Brad helped move the dial. Even after our calls were done, he continued to check in and offer support. I’m most grateful to him for his patience and kindness in figuring out my story because once that it clicked in, all my strengths and past decisions made sense. This helped me show up a lot more confident in interviews and be confident in my journey!

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t want to be a manager?
Promotion doesn't equal people management. Many clients use this to move up the individual contributor track (Senior, Staff, Principal), increase scope, and earn raises without managing a team. We tailor the 90-day plan to the role you actually want.
What if I’ve already been passed over 2–3 times?
That’s exactly who this is for. We diagnose the perception gap (how you’re seen vs. the leader you are), pick quick wins that change the narrative fast, and assemble a proof pack. Then we time and script the promotion conversation. Different actions → different perception → different outcome. No guarantees (it’s still human), but your odds go way up when the proof is undeniable.
Will this work if my company has politics?
Yes—because we don’t fight politics with politics. We build proof: visible wins tied to business goals, cross-functional impact, and regular manager check-ins with clear next steps. Decision-makers notice results. The plan is outcomes-first, not schmooze-first.
What if I’m not naturally assertive?
You don’t need a new personality—you need a repeatable plan. We use low-stakes “confidence reps,” simple scripts, and leader language swaps (e.g., “I believe…” vs. “I think…”). You’ll practice one clear contribution per meeting and one small visibility play per week. Quiet, steady signals—done consistently—read as leadership.
How much time does this take?
Plan an hour or so a week:
10–15 minutes prep before key meetings
20–30 minutes for a 1:1 or stakeholder touchpoint
30–45 minutes to drive one visible win or update your proof pack
Week 1 is a bit heavier (60–90 minutes to set targets), then it slots into your normal work.

Why I Left My Corporate Job and Became a Coach
I believe everyone has a story—and something unique worth contributing. But too often, the “nice ones” get overlooked.
They do the work, support the team, and still watch others get promoted. That’s why I do what I do. My gift is helping people like you finally be seen, heard, and recognized as the leader you already are.
Because when you step up with confidence, it doesn’t just change your career—it changes the lives of everyone Around You.
Hi, I’m Brad Finkeldei, an ICF‑certified Life Coach trained by the Life Purpose Institute. After a successful career in IT—aka, full‑time Nerd🤓—I realized that being great at my job wasn’t the same as feeling fulfilled. I wanted a career that lit me up. That pivot led me to help other professionals break free from fear and land $100K–$200K+ roles they love. Through my 3‑step framework—Clarity, Vision, and Courageous Action—I guide you to create a career (and life) you’re truly excited about.
My Wake‑Up Call
For years I hid behind a high‑paying tech career and the “stuff” it bought, even though it didn’t light me up. A coach finally told me what no one else would—that I was buying confidence instead of building it. That blunt truth pushed me to leave the corporate grind, face my fears head‑on, become a certified coach and write my first book.
The Rubber Chicken Revelation
On a speaking tour in Ecuador I met Rafael Bejarano, a fellow coach and shaman who carried a rubber chicken everywhere to remind people they were bigger than their fears. "Don't Be a Chicken Do What Love!"
Rafael was tragically killed in 2015, and I felt called to carry his message forward. I ordered a box of tiny rubber chickens to give away as courage tokens, but the package was stolen. Instead of giving up, I chased the thief down, confronted him, and listened to his story. In that moment I realised that courage isn’t about never feeling fear—it’s about taking action anyway and helping others along the way. I got the chicken back, gave the man my last six dollars and my business card, and discovered that I’d had confidence all along.
The Mission
Since then I’ve been on a mission to help people step into their fears and pursue work they love. To date I’ve given away more than 1,500 rubber chickens as reminders that they have everything they need inside them. If you’re ready to reignite your purpose and make a courageous career change, let’s talk.
