Hey, I'm Austin
Career & Leadership Strategy
I spent 15 years in finance, including a decade in leadership, working at a Fortune 100 financial institution and top-tier credit unions on both coasts. I moved fast, took on more responsibility than most people my age, and learned early that you could be ambitious without sacrificing your integrity. That balance is something I became intentional about and it became the foundation of how I coach.
What I bring to clients isn’t theory. It’s a repeatable process built from real experience for navigating career transitions, stepping into leadership, and making high-stakes decisions with confidence.
I host the Introvert Leader Podcast, ranked in the top 100 career podcasts, which reaches listeners in over 145 countries. I’m based in Arizona with my wife and our two golden retrievers.

Hey, I’m Kyle
Performance Mindset
My expertise isn’t in telling you what to do with your career. It’s in showing you what’s been running it without your awareness.
I’m Kyle, co-founder of STS Coaching. I built a financial planning business from the ground up. No salary, no safety net, just hustle and belief. For years it worked. Then, over a relatively short period, nearly everything I had built my identity around came apart at once. And no matter how hard I pushed or how much I strategized, nothing seemed to change. What pulled me through wasn’t a better plan. It was understanding something I now consider one of the most important, and most overlooked, principles in human performance: your thoughts are electrical and your emotions are magnetic. The stories we repeat in our minds, wrapped in the feelings we attach to them, don’t just reflect our reality. They reinforce it. Most of us are doing this completely unconsciously, pulling in more of the exact experiences that mirror what we feel most deeply. Not what we want, but what we’re unconsciously broadcasting. Once I understood the mechanism, I could work with it. I stopped forcing outcomes, interrupted the thought loops I had been running on autopilot, and slowly rebuilt. Not just professionally, but fundamentally as a person. The external world eventually caught up. But the real shift happened inside first. That’s what I bring to our clients. While my partner leads the tactical side of our sessions, navigating career transitions, workplace dynamics, and leadership growth, my role is to help you examine the thinking underneath all of it. The beliefs, patterns, and emotional loops quietly dictating what you pursue, what you avoid, and what you believe you’re capable of. Because you can have all the right strategies and still be held back by what’s running beneath the surface.
