Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

Real support for the human side of work, life, and leadership.

You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Sat through the trainings. But sometimes, you just need someone to help you work through your stuff.

That’s where coaching comes in.

At Human First, our 1:1 coaching isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, communicate more clearly, and live more intentionally—whether you're navigating burnout, building leadership skills, or just trying to feel a little more like yourself again.

What We Offer

We offer 1:1 coaching programs that mirror our signature workshops—deep dives into the skills that help you communicate better, lead with clarity, and live in alignment with your values.

Looking for something more tailored? We also design custom coaching programs to meet your specific goals, challenges, or season of life. Whether you need a structured path or a more open-ended space to think things through, we’ll build something that fits.

Who Our Coaching is For

  • Leaders and managers ready to grow without losing their humanity

  • New professionals who want to start with a strong emotional foundation

  • Burned-out humans looking for clarity and support

  • Anyone who wants to communicate, connect, and lead with more intention

Coaching is available as one-time sessions, multi-session packages, or integrated follow-up to any of our workshops. You don’t need to be in crisis to get support—you just need to be human.

You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s figure it out together.

Coaching Topics

  • Because nobody taught you how to deal with people—until now.

    Most of us never learned how to “people”.

    How to navigate tricky conversations, set real boundaries, read a room, manage our emotions, or deal with other people’s.

    And yet we’re thrown into classrooms, boardrooms, break rooms, and Zoom rooms—and expected to just… figure it out.

    This coaching program is for anyone ready to stop guessing and start growing.

    Whether you’re fresh out of school, deep in your career, or somewhere in between, How to “People” gives you the emotional and interpersonal tools you were never taught (but absolutely need).

    In this personalized coaching program, you’ll learn:

    • How to recognize your patterns in conflict, collaboration, and communication

    • How to set boundaries that are kind and clear

    • How to stop overthinking and start expressing yourself with confidence

    • How to stay grounded in tough conversations

    • How to work with (not against) your emotions and instincts

    • How to build trust without burning out

    We’ll tailor each session to what’s showing up in your life, whether it’s a tense workplace dynamic, a habit of people-pleasing, or just a vague sense that “I don’t know how to deal with this person and I wish I did.”

    This is for:

    • New professionals who want to start strong and self-aware

    • Seasoned pros who are ready to level up their leadership or connection skills

    • Anyone who feels stuck, frustrated, or just off when dealing with people

    Work and life will always involve people.
    It’s time to feel empowered and confident in your interpersonal interactions.

  • Feelings aren’t the problem. Not knowing how to work with them is.

    Most of us were taught how to read and write—but not how to read ourselves.

    We weren’t given the tools to name our emotions, let alone express them without apology or shutdown.

    And yet emotional intelligence is at the core of how we communicate, lead, connect, and make decisions.

    Emotional literacy isn’t fluff. It’s foundational.
    This coaching program gives you a language for your inner world so you can stop being hijacked by your emotions and start using them as tools for clarity and connection.

    In this coaching program, we’ll explore:

    • How to recognize what you're feeling before it takes the wheel

    • How to tell the difference between a thought, a feeling, and a reaction

    • How emotions show up in your body (and what they’re trying to tell you)

    • How to express emotion in ways that are clear, grounded, and respected

    • How to build emotional vocabulary and confidence, even if it feels awkward at first

    Whether you’re someone who shuts down when emotions get high, over-intellectualizes your way through hard conversations, or simply never learned the language of feelings, this is where you start.

    This is for:

    • People who want to build emotional self-awareness

    • Professionals who want to lead or communicate with more emotional intelligence

    • Anyone who feels “too much” or “not enough” emotionally

    • Folks who’ve been told to “just calm down” or “stop taking things personally” and are ready to learn a healthier way forward

    Your emotions aren’t the enemy.
    They’re data. They’re direction. They’re part of being human.
    Let’s make them work for you.

  • Build Emotional Intelligence, Communication Skills, and Leadership Capacity

    You can’t manage what you can’t name. Emotional Literacy at Work is a foundational training that helps teams and leaders build emotional awareness, communicate more effectively, and foster healthier, more human workplaces.

    Most professionals were never taught how to recognize or express their emotions — but emotional intelligence is essential for strong leadership, better decision-making, and conflict resolution. This interactive workshop introduces a practical, science-based framework for understanding and using emotions as valuable data, not distractions.

    Designed for:

    Teams looking to improve communication and reduce misalignment

    Managers who want to better support team members during stress or conflict

    Professionals seeking greater emotional clarity and resilience

    What you’ll learn:

    How to recognize and name emotions in real time

    The difference between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

    How emotions manifest physically and what they signal

    How to express emotions clearly and constructively

    The consequences of emotional suppression — and what to do instead

    Key takeaways:

    A shared emotional vocabulary for teams and leaders

    A research-backed framework for emotional awareness and expression

    Stronger communication, clearer boundaries, and more human-centered leadership

    Emotional intelligence is no longer optional — it’s a core competency for modern workplaces.

  • Because when you're not living your values, you feel it—even if you can't name it.

    Something feels off. You're not sure what.

    Maybe you're burned out. Maybe you're frustrated. Maybe you're just going through the motions.

    Chances are, you're out of alignment with your values.

    This coaching program helps you figure out what actually matters to you; not what sounds good, but what drives your energy, your decisions, and your sense of self.
    Because once you know what matters most, you can start living like it does.

    In this coaching experience, we’ll explore:

    • How to identify your true core values (not the ones you inherited or perform)

    • How to recognize when you're in or out of alignment (and what that costs you)

    • How to make everyday decisions using your values as a compass

    • How to communicate your values clearly to others

    • How to navigate value clashes at work, at home, or within yourself

    We’ll also explore what your values look like in action and how to build a life or career that reflects who you actually are.

    This is for:

    • People in transition, trying to get clarity before making a big move

    • Folks who feel “off” or stuck in their current role, relationship, or identity

    • Professionals who want to lead with more integrity and inner alignment

    • Anyone trying to stop living on autopilot and start living on purpose

    You don’t need a total reinvention. You just need a reconnection.
    Let’s figure out what matters—and build from there.
