I push people to grow themselves and their careers now, instead of waiting for someone else to do it for them.

Working is a necessity in today's world - and obviously it won't always be fun.
But it should be meaningful & stimulating to you.
Whether the work itself has meaning - or the goals it helps you accomplish have meaning - your work should enrich your life.
Unfortunately, most people sit back and take what's given to them. That's where I like to step in.
I started my career as an award-winning teacher before becoming an entrepreneur and coach.
I've led three companies and advised 100s of individuals, teams and organizations on how to reinvigorate their work & gain new momentum.
I do this because I love helping people unlock the potential that they know they have inside themselves.
Life's too short to wait for things to happen to you.

"I really love working with Ian. He approached every single case methodically and empathetically. He would get lost in each person's story, trying to understand and relate to their challenges.
He has read more books on leadership, time management, and effectiveness than anyone else I know. So, when you're working with him you've got the best of this collective wisdom.
He's accomplished more as an entrepreneur than some folks twice his age."
"Ian applies discipline to dreaming.
He's always the pragmatist in the room, which is not to be confused as cynicism; instead, he is so stubborn in his hope that he always thinks about process and pathways to get to ambitious and seemingly impossible destinations.
I am always grateful when Ian Cohen is in the room."
"I find it hard to trust advice that comes from outside our organization.
But Ian's level of intelligence and expertise made it easy for me to trust him from the get-go.
He's helped us troubleshoot issues from sales and marketing to product design and revenue generation."
Setting goals is the easy part.
I help you grow into the person that achieves them.
First, we dive into your background to understand who and why you are the professional that you are today.
Second, we discover what drives you and we use that to create ambitious personal & professional goals that get you motivated.
Third, we take action. I never like to leave clients with just a plan - I make sure that you make real progress.

We work to first overcome the nagging beliefs and thoughts that have been holding you back in your career - and then we execute a plan to leap to the next level.

"I worked with Ian when College AIM was in its infancy. At the time, we were quite simply trying to do too much—too many programs, initiatives and projects.
Ian helped me narrow our focus, zero in on the things that we did best and pour our energy into those parts of the work. Over five years later, his impact is still felt within College AIM."
"Ian was instrumental in helping me get my organization off the ground - not only with tactical advice, but also as a no-nonsense nurturer.
I would never have had the self-confidence, mindset, or skill to seek the fundraising support we needed to launch or sustain the organization without Ian’s guidance (and push)."
"Working with Ian pushed my ways of thinking and helped me reach my full potential. He is incredibly talented when it comes to thinking strategically about the big picture and turning those strategies and ideas into executable plans.
He knows how to build something from the ground up and how to base decision-making on having scalability and impact in mind."
We commit to a 6-month partnership.
