fleeting).

You value transparency, work-life balance,
and FUN!
You're genuinely excited to go on the heart-opening, soul-expanding, mind-blowing Journey of Living Your Dream Every Day
YOUR DREAM TECH CAREER IS CALLING.
WILL YOU ANSWER? 😉
We are Career & Life Coaches
for Tech Leaders
Our mission at The People Stack is to help badass tech leaders achieve ludicrous amounts of success &
fulfillment in every area of their lives while you live a life of balance, joy, & freedom.
Tech leaders, we see you...
We know that deep down, sometimes, you don’t feel WHOLE.
You feel the insidious pain of living a comfortable and tolerable life.
You feel stuck - like you’ve hit a plateau in your income, impact and lifestyle… and you don't know HOW to get unstuck.
Some portions of your life are amazing. And you wonder: Why can’t it ALL be amazing? Am I asking for too much?
Your career might be okay. But…you’re bored, unfulfilled, underpaid, overworked, and/or not achieving what you KNOW you can.
Your life outside of work? Okay. But…your romantic relationships lack juiciness, you’re not living in your dream home, and your vitality is not optimal.
You’re doing okay…and that’s KILLING you!
It’s really hard to find people who can relate to this.
Because most people are fine with doing okay.
You're not! You DESERVE more!
But there’s a part of you that says…
“How dare you want more! Why can’t you be happy with a good, comfortable existence?”
You’re beginning to wonder - as residues of shame, guilt, & resignation wash over you...
Can I really create my dream life? Do I deserve it?
YES YOU CAN! AND YOU DO!
How am I so certain? Because we’ve been honored and humbled to guide hundreds of our tech leader clients on an expansive - sometimes uncomfortable - journey of career and life expansion.
With our expert guidance, our clients feel WHOLE again!
They celebrate who they’ve become: Badass tech leaders who continually co-create fulfillment, joy, love, and passion in every area of their lives.
They embrace the journey of becoming someone who attracts ludicrous amounts of success and fulfillment.
Their careers are thriving! They’re earning more money while they enjoy their work so much that they almost feel guilty - almost. ;)
They work WAY less than they used to - and are wondering what they get to do with the extra time.
And the rest of their lives? Full of JOY!
Their romantic partners are wondering what happened to them - in a good way. ;)
They’re moving into their dream homes and taking their dream vacations - not that they NEED vacations. They WANT them.
They FEEL better physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Here’s the BEST part! That insidious, existential pain of “doing just okay?”
Instead of being a dark cloud that hangs over them day after day…
…it’s now a slight shadow that, in a touchingly melancholy way, reminds them of who they no longer are.
They are no longer fearful of desiring & creating ridiculous amounts of success and fulfillment.
They are unstoppable tech leaders who are connected to their TRUE PURPOSE.
They take inspired, intelligent action from this purpose - and they’re solidly living their dreams - wholly and completely.
And they are an endless source of inspiration for each other - and for anyone else willing to be inspired by their loving, joyful impact.
They’ve taken the journey from good to great to excellent to amazing to extraordinary!
THE PATH TO YOUR DREAM TECH CAREER HAS ALREADY BEEN
CARVED OUT BY OUR CLIENTS.
FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS!
We help our clients build their dream tech
careers by guiding them through our
Career Transformation Roadmap.
1. Gain Clarity.
What do you REALLY want? We ask a lot of hard questions and, in
the beginning, this is the hardest one to answer. We show you
how to decide without struggle or over-thinking. You'll have
crystal clear words for describing YOUR dream career and life - down to every last important detail.
2. Build a Powerful Ally Network
Yes, networking is necessary to advance in your tech career - whether you're looking to land a new Hell Yes job or a promotion/raise. Get ready to network like you never have with our opinionated, proven system where CONVERSATIONS with real humans are at the core. And hiding behind the keyboard becomes yesterday's news. When you follow it, it'll feel fun (even if you're an introvert) and those conversations will feel win-win (not grimy, slimy, or manipulating).
3. Advance Conversations Towards Success & Fulfillment
Many tech leaders forget about this step! You can't go directly from "Okay, I'll help" to "You're hired!" There are many conversations in between! And it takes patience, compassion, curiosity, confidence, and vulnerability. We guide and support our clients to expertly advance their career-building conversations while maintaining a World-Class Badass Leader identity.
4. Negotiate Fearlessly
We don't want you leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table! We also know many of you hate the idea of negotiating. We got you covered! We'll show you a process that works so well, that it'll seem uncanny. Leave fear, ick, shame, and anxiety at the door when you follow our process.
5. Celebrate Your Success
This one is SO important because it cements your wins, fuels your progress, and keeps you focused on success! And we also tend to forget it. Jen forgot to celebrate getting her Ph.D. And after she finally did - with a trip to Italy 2 years later - she vowed she'd
never let anyone ignore it. So, you'll be celebrating A LOT with
us. 😉

Client Testimonials
Jen and Rob are the real deal. They're authentic and truly wants to help you excel in your career. I have gone through the People Stack program and it is truly amazing. Initially, I was skeptical-- was this just another fast-talking career coaching sales pitch with a bunch of psychology mumble-jumble? Let me tell you, it is life-changing. Career accelerating. Trust Jen & Rob. They knows what they're talking about, and honestly, truly want to help you breakthrough to levels and opportunities you honestly would have never thought possible. 5+ stars for Jen and Rob and their People Stack team. It is absolutely worth the price of admission. The ROI is there. Invest in yourself, enhance your career and your life. It is possible!!
Andy H.
IT Director & Entrepenuer
Working with Jen and Rob at The People Stack has been a game-changer for me. They provided the clarity I needed to confidently present myself as the Technical Leader I am. I had been struggling with self-confidence regarding my resume and interview presentations. Jen helped me create a resume that truly reflects my leadership and professional value, clearly showcasing the impact I can bring to any organization. During our mock interview sessions, Jen challenged me to craft alternative stories that align with my mission statement, ensuring I can articulate my achievements effectively for maximum impact. Investing in The People Stack has been the best decision I've made for my career. The lessons and clarity I've gained are now my secret weapon in my managerial toolkit. Though I call it a secret, I genuinely hope every Technical Leader discovers and utilize this invaluable resource.
Giuseppe T.
Software Engineering Manager
"The eight short weeks I spent working with Jen and the People Stack team were terrifically awesome! I can honestly say Jen cares about the people she works with, and wants everyone of them to come away a better person, who can confidently say they have found a new skill set they are already utilizing in their professional lives. That new skill set may be knowing how to better manage teams, but the real magic is learning to Evangelize Your Excellence! As a result of learning to this, I have gained confidence in putting myself out there, learning the art of negotiating, and how to 150% show the value I bring to the table."
Todd U.
IT Director
"It was great working with Jen and Rob because, without them, I don't think I would have respected my professional ability enough to stand up for what would have been right or what I deserve as a professional. They helped me through some major job negotiations and conversations and helped me stay accountable to my originally stated goals. They helped me think about how I talk about what I do and really pushed me to put together clear statements about what my value-add is. I now know how to talk to people about what I do in a way that doesn't feel goofy, cheesy, fake or like bragging."
Jackie L.
Data Analytics Director
That first conversation with Jen, I was feeling really bad about myself. I just described everything to her, and she said, 'Oh yeah. It's this, this, and this, right?' It seemed like magic, but it's really the strength of her experience. Now I am leading a small team and I can confidently frame conversations, even though they might make some people feel uncomfortable, because Jen and Rob gave me tools to have them honestly and authentically. The most confident people that I know are not afraid to say, 'I don't know.' And I would not have any sense of confidence that that kind of a person could be me without having gone through the People Stack program. It's been a transformative experience, and I'm very grateful."
Sarah W.
Product Leader
Jen's help in re-writing my resume was invaluable, being both specific and immediately actionable. With in a week of posting my new resume and changing my LinkedIn profile to match, I received interest from a recruiter that resulted in me being a top-two finalist for a job posting that matched my skills and experience. Jen's approach to job searches is refreshing, focusing on finding a job that needs someone just like me, instead of trying to change my true self to fit into some employers pre-determined mold. This has resulted in finding a job that essentially, no one else on the market could fill, putting me in a very strong negotiating position.
Gary B.
Sr. Data Leader
Jen and Rob's passion for helping her clients reach their career goals is inspiring! I've gotten a lot out of their program. It's definitely been uncomfortable and challenging to re-think my leadership approach - which is good. I'm slowly integrating more into my daily work. I love having continued access to the materials so that I can continue to grow as a leader and manager.
Eric R.
Tech Team Lead
I think that what is beneficial about having career coaches, like Jen and Rob, is that they are there as a third party for you trying to come at it from a non-biased perspective. It was also really valuable getting feedback like, 'That's bullshit you need to change it' and 'That's just a platitude. That's not actually what you feel.' That's about as unbiased as you can get in terms of seeking out a third party to bounce ideas off of and make sure that you're working toward the right direction.
