Testimonials
Hear from others who have worked with Josh
Josh and I first met more than ten years ago as colleagues, and even then Josh stood out for his curiosity, integrity, and ability to truly listen. Seeing him open his executive coaching practice now feels like the natural next chapter for someone who has always helped people think clearly and lead well. I’m grateful for the impact his coaching has had on me personally and professionally.
What changed most for me was confidence. Josh helped me turn strengths into everyday leadership habits - clarifying decisions, communicating with purpose, and showing up with authentic executive presence. He also transformed the way I give feedback. Through simple, practical frameworks and real-world practice, I learned how to deliver clear, timely, and constructive feedback that builds trust, encourages growth, and improves performance. The difference showed up in our one-on-ones, project reviews, and team culture.
If you’re looking for an executive coach who blends strategic insight with genuine empathy - and turns leadership development into measurable results - Josh is exceptional. He guides senior leaders and high-potential talent through change management, strengthens communication across the C-suite, and helps teams perform at their best. I’m excited to recommend him without hesitation.

I first met Josh when he joined our department as Chief Actuary, and I was immediately impressed. His rapid career progression - going from actuarial analyst to Chief Actuary in just about ten years - was inspiring on its own, but what stood out even more was the culture and energy he brought with him to our team.
What I admire most about Josh is his integrity. As a Vice President, he consistently stayed true to himself, making decisions based on what was right rather than what was easiest or most popular with other teams or the organization. That example has stuck with me.
As a mentor, Josh helped me in ways that went far beyond my technical skills. He encouraged me to clarify my goals before worrying about how to achieve them, shared what it was really like to work in senior leadership, and provided thoughtful resources - articles and books that continue to influence me even three years later. He also supported me through everyday challenges, offering honest feedback (including the answers I didn’t always want to hear) that helped me grow.
Josh was always attentive and intentional in his mentorship. He followed up, genuinely cared, and clearly has a passion for developing others. I’m grateful for the time I was able to learn from him, and I know his guidance has had a lasting impact on both my career and personal growth.

Josh brings a rare blend of deep subject-matter expertise and a personal, thoughtful approach to his professional coaching. His background as a Chief Actuary and his comprehensive knowledge of healthcare economics and the health insurance industry add immense depth to every conversation. Whether we were discussing team dynamics, executive communication, or complex business challenges, Josh consistently brought a broad, well-informed perspective that helped me navigate decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
One of Josh’s standout qualities is his inquisitive nature. He’s naturally curious, and that intellectual curiosity drives him to explore not only the technical and strategic dimensions of a topic but also the human elements that influence outcomes. He asked the right questions, offered well-rounded insights, and always tied abstract concepts back to practical, real-world action.
His coaching style made it easy to speak openly about challenging and sensitive topics. I always felt heard and understood. Feedback was tailored, contextualized, and paired with clear next steps. Through our work together, I saw measurable improvements in my team. Morale and productivity increased, and I developed stronger communication strategies that helped me connect more meaningfully with both underperformers and high performers. Low performers began to turn a corner. At the same time, top performers became more engaged and reported greater job satisfaction.
Josh also helped me optimize my relationships with HR and executive leaders. His strategies helped elevate my personal brand and strengthened my leadership presence. He frequently recommended high-value reading materials to spark new thinking. What stood out was his ability to distill key takeaways and translate them into clear, actionable steps that aligned with my goals.
Josh is a coach, a thought partner, and a trusted advisor. His breadth of knowledge, his curiosity, and his grounded, personalized guidance make him an invaluable mentor. I’m grateful for the lasting impact he’s had on my growth as a leader.
