Hi, I’m Ken.

I know how it feels to look at your corporate career and wonder, “Is this really all there is?” I remember the frustration of being weighed down by endless meetings and daily operations and the sense that my impact was limited. I wanted to use my experience to make a real difference and to help others achieve their goals in a way that felt deeply fulfilling.

Transitioning from corporate leadership to executive coaching is an opportunity to turn your hard-earned expertise into a career that gives back.

At Leader’s Cut, I’ve designed a program specifically for professionals like you—people stepping out of corporate roles, ready to become leaders in a new, meaningful way. Together, we’ll help you build a coaching career that combines your skills with your passion for guiding others to success. With tailored training, peer support, and a community of coaches who’ve made this transition, you’ll have everything you need to succeed in this journey.

Why Make the Switch from Corporate to Coaching?

More professionals than ever are leaving behind corporate roles to start careers in coaching. The shift often begins with a sense of corporate burnout or the desire for something more personally fulfilling. Many leaders realize they’re ready for a career that provides flexibility, independence, and the chance to make a more direct impact.

Transitioning to coaching allows you to build your own business, create your own schedule, and pursue a mission aligned with helping others grow. Whether it’s through guiding businesses to success or mentoring future leaders, coaching offers a path to make a lasting difference while maintaining a work-life balance that isn’t always possible in corporate environments.
