First Fridays
Free Monthly Coaching Office Hours
With ICF-Certified Coaches Neeta Thawani and Parker Tracey
Two certified coaches. One hour. Zero cost. Just show up.
Here's something most people don't know. Professional coaching is incredibly powerful — and almost nobody gets access to it.
It's expensive, hard to vet, and typically reserved for the most senior people in an organization (if it exists at all).
We created First Fridays because we think that's worth changing.
Every first Friday of the month at 12pm ET, we open our virtual doors for a free hour of live coaching.
What to expect → One hour, live on Zoom → Real coaching on real questions
No agenda, no preparation required (come as you are!)
Bring whatever’s on your mind: career questions, workplace challenges, transitions, leadership, the messy middle of figuring out what’s next.
Drop your email below and we'll send you the Zoom link.
When: Every 1st Friday at 12:00 PM ET
Where: Online — Zoom link provided upon registration
What is coaching? Coaching is different from mentorship or advice. It's a partnership with a skilled professional helping you get out of your own way: clarifying what you actually want, identifying what's holding you back, and figuring out your next move with more confidence and less second-guessing.
Who are these coaches? Glasses, red lipstick, and a combined 40+ years of navigating policy, leadership, and workplace dynamics. As ICF-certified coaches, we deliver support, real talk, and more laughter than you'd expect from two people this serious-looking.
Dr. Neeta Thawani - Neeta is a Researcher and National Faculty member at the Canada School of Public Service, the institution that trains the people who run the Canadian federal government. She brings a research and science background, deep expertise in leadership development, and is genuinely one of the funniest people in any room.
