Coaching for Professionals Navigating Change, Challenge, or Growth

Hi, I’m Sergei Shishkanov. I help professionals navigate meaningful change through leadership and personal development coaching — whether it’s stepping into leadership, facing burnout, rethinking your career, reimagining your next steps, or simply feeling that something in your work or life needs to evolve.

If you’re in a place where change is happening or needs to happen, I’m here to help you move through it with clarity and confidence.

Who I Work With

For professionals who want to grow, evolve, or make reals shifts in their work or life.

My clients are people who’ve reached a point where the old way of doing things no longer works and where something new is needed.
  • This often looks like:
  • Stepping into leadership or taking on more responsibility
  • Leaving a role, voluntarily or not
  • Changing careers or industries
  • Managing a new team or organization
  • Adapting to bigger expectations
  • Starting or growing a business
  • Redefining lifestyle, work, or identity

About me

I’m a Gestalt-trained coach with more than 115 hours of coaching experience (as of December 2025). ICF ACC certification in January 2026. I hold an MD and an MBA.

Before coaching, I spent 20+ years in sales and marketing in the medical device industry, including 15+ years in leadership roles.

In my late 30s, I immigrated to the United States.
In my late 40s, I navigated a major career transition myself.

Today I’m an entrepreneur with a history of building successful businesses, and a lifelong learner in psychology, behavior change, and well-being.

This lived experience deeply shapes how I support people through change.

What my clients say about me

My Coaching Style

My coaching style is Gestalt-based and non-directive. I don't give you pre-made solutions. Instead, I help you build awareness of your patterns, strengths, and blind spots so you can make more informed choices. I create a space where you can safely explore complex situations.

My style is curious, reflective, and gently challenging. I ask questions that invite new perspectives and support your growth.

Clients often tell me:
“I came in with a problem and left understanding myself better — not just the situation.”

This is what Gestalt coaching does best.
