When I started the coaching process, I wasn't necessarily looking for answers—I was looking for clarity. As an entrepreneur, investor, and someone who operates in fast-moving industries like deep tech and spatial computing, I'm used to making big decisions under pressure. But over time, the weight of constant decision-making, shifting priorities, and the sheer volume of things competing for my attention had started to wear on me. I realized that even though I had built successful companies and helped others navigate complexity, I wasn't always applying the same level of structure and thoughtfulness to my own life. I wanted to work with someone who could hold up a mirror and help me see my blind spots—someone who wouldn't just give advice, but would challenge me to think deeper and act with more intention. That's why I chose to work with Hiam.

Our sessions are always a space where I can slow down and really process things in a way I don't often get to. Hiam created an environment where I could shift perspectives. Sometimes, that meant unraveling assumptions I didn't even realize I was carrying. Other times, it meant refining the way I prioritize, especially how I set boundaries, or how I approach leadership in a way that feels more aligned with who I want to be. Hiam helped me build a framework that made sense for me—my brain, my work, my life. There were moments where I felt genuinely surprised by my own insights, moments where I had to sit with discomfort, and moments where I walked away feeling lighter and more focused than I had in a long time.

As I look back, I can see clear shifts—not just in my work, but in how I show up for it. I make decisions for myself with more confidence and less second-guessing. Maybe most importantly, I've become much more intentional about why I do things, not just how. I also notice a shift in how I handle complexity. Before, I would often hold a hundred different moving pieces in my head, feeling responsible for solving everything at once. Now, I have a clearer way of untangling what actually matters and letting go of what doesn't. That alone has made an enormous difference.
