MY PROCESS
Behind every great athlete, there is a great coach. There isn't a top athlete--from Serena Williams to Roger Federer to LeBron James, who did not need a mentor to help them reach the top of their profession.
Your career is like that of a professional athlete. You may have the determination, the skills, and the vision, but there are times when you need expert guidance to ensure you stay on the right path and apply your talents best and work on your shortcomings to reach your goals.
Work/Life balance is a myth. It implies that work is terrible, life is excellent and separate. On the contrary, work is part of life. You will learn to treat work the same way you do life and amplify what you love. You can't achieve your professional goals if you don't optimize your overall life.
My goal is to help you see yourself more accurately, get clear about how to best play to your strengths, and learn the skills to achieve your dream without stress.
1
Awareness
I will help you identify and understand what is truly important to you. Without understanding what is essential, you become confused about your life purpose, have reservations about moving forward, have thoughts full of doubt, and are all-consumed with the daily chaos of meetings, kids, and money. Understanding and aligning with your core values will help you find your purpose, make thoughtful decisions, cultivate a more deliberate sense of self, and discover what you want to accomplish.
2
Vision
Ask yourself, if things like money, skills, or location didn’t matter, what would you do? We will build your vision for what you want your life to be. Your vision should make you a little uncomfortable; otherwise, it is not big enough. Your vision will be your guide to help you understand where you are and where you’re going.
3
Action
I will work with you to focus on the areas with the highest positive impact and jointly create a 90-day action plan. We will identify your core goals for the next 90-days and core processes to ensure that you achieve each of your goals.
4
Habit
We will break down your core processes into daily tasks and align your calendar to spend your time on these to accomplish your goals. This realignment will help you build new habits around everything you learn to be beneficial but is hard to maintain. Habit creation will be vital to achieving your long-term goals.
5
Achievement
The ultimate goal is to clearly define what you want, hone your craft, and create the future you want for yourself. I will encourage and nudge you toward your dreams and provide you with the tools that promote your growth.
TESTIMONIALS
Eunice Yu, Primary Care Physician, Patient-Centered Innovator
Steven helped me understand my intrinsic motivators and work out concrete steps in incorporating more of them into my life. By the end of our sessions, I had a clear understanding of the next steps in my life and career, as well as how to move in that direction with a 90-day plan. I strongly recommend Steven as a coach if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed. His deep background in tech and healthcare is a bonus for those in adjacent fields.
PJ Christie, Founder and CEO
Steven is a great coach. He's been there and done that. Coaching Metta is an excellent description of his approach - there's a need for kindness in our lives and benevolence in our business practices. For Steven, these are foundational executive values. Highly recommend.
John Cooper, Financial Services Exec. and Board Member
I have had the pleasure of knowing Steven for some 20 years, first as someone I could rely on for thoughtful, sound advice, and soon after that as a great friend. His direct manner and understanding of the challenges of leadership, and many different businesses and technology, will serve his clients well.
Christina J. Chua, Entrepreneur
I met Steven at a crucial moment in my start-up/entrepreneurial journey when I had to shift from a “passion project” mindset to expanding the team and fundraising. He became more than a life coach. He’s a mentor and someone I deeply admire for how grounded, honest, principled, encouraging, and empathetic he is. High performance without stress has become a mantra for me, and I can’t thank him more for the wisdom he’s imparted!
Danny N. Kabeya, Financial Services Exec.
I strongly recommend Steven as an executive coach. He has been life-changing in helping me in my journey of self-discovery. The results are unequivocal: I have better quality time with my family and alignment with my business objectives.

Brad Jung, Board Member, Financial Services Executive
I began working with Steven during a pivotal time in my career, facing major leadership decisions and balancing business growth with personal commitments. Steven's coaching was not generic; he asked the right questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me break down complex decisions into clear, actionable steps.
Steven's coaching is rooted in real experience. He understands the pressures of leading a business, making high-stakes decisions, and managing transitions because he has done it himself. He helped me refine my leadership approach and make choices aligned with my long-term goals and personal priorities.
Steven also coached several of my direct reports, significantly impacting their individual growth and our team's overall performance. His guidance improved their decision-making and leadership skills, which elevated our organization.
What stood out most was Steven's ability to balance strategic insight with practical execution. He helped me structure my next steps, hold myself accountable, and navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
Steven is not the coach for those seeking to hear only what they want. However, if you want a trusted advisor who will push you to think differently, make better decisions, and lead purposefully, I highly recommend working with him.
Mitchell Fried, Strategy and Operations
Steven is a natural leader, and one that seems to constantly improve. I learned an unquantifiable amount from Steven, across a range of disciplines, including how to operate a successful startup, and how to maximize my own work output. I'm appreciative of the time I worked with him, and I would eagerly work with him again in the future.
MY STORY
Siobhan Lomba, IT Executive
I have had the great fortune of working with Steven for several years. He is a tremendous leader who truly cares and invests the time to support and coach those he manages and works with. He makes genuine connections, learns the strengths of those around him, and can effectively leverage the power of the collective team. In addition to being a great leader and visionary, Steven is also a wonderful human being committed to helping others.
Alex Rabinovich, Financial Services Executive
Steven is a thoughtful, strategic leader who also empowers others. His extensive experience in corporate and entrepreneurial environments is invaluable to anyone seeking to become a better professional and a more effective leader. His approach is personalized, flexible, and results-oriented. The impact is clear and significant.
In recent years, I’ve navigated a new chapter in life, juggling the care of aging parents, children, and a high-level career. Though I’ve achieved success, the weight of it all has often felt overwhelming, prompting me to rethink how I approach my career and life. I once believed responsibilities, wealth, and status defined success, but I’ve realized that true fulfillment comes from meaningful work with people who share my values. This shift has transformed my career and inspired me to help others align their work with their purpose.
My entrepreneurial journey began at 27 when I founded a strategic consulting firm for financial services companies. Those early days were filled with enthusiasm and steep learning curves as I navigated the complexities of finance and investing. However, the 2008 economic crisis forced me to pivot, teaching me resilience and the importance of adaptability. In response to market demands, I transformed my company into a data analytics provider for asset and wealth management institutions. This strategic shift was crucial in positioning the company for acquisition, ultimately leading to a successful sale to a publicly listed company.
After the acquisition, I took on a global leadership role overseeing global divisions, including AI and Digital teams, where I gained valuable experience managing innovation at scale. During this time, I honed my ability to balance strategic vision with the practicalities of execution in large organizations.
After my five-year stint in a large corporation, I went on a journey of self-discovery that led me to healthcare. I co-founded a value-based primary care practice addressing healthcare disparities in underprivileged Black and Brown communities. We developed personalized care solutions tailored to these communities' unique needs by leveraging data analytics and AI. Our innovative approach caught the attention of CINQCARE, which acquired our practice and technology. At CinqCare, I applied these lessons and continue to develop AI-driven healthcare solutions for Medicare and Medicaid populations, further deepening my commitment to advocating for equitable healthcare systems.
These experiences led me to create Coaching Metta, where I help professionals redefine success on their terms. Many of my clients face similar challenges, and together, we explore strategies to balance family, career, and well-being. It’s not about stopping but staying engaged on our terms—seeking purpose, balance, and fulfillment.
My coaching combines neuroscience and behavioral psychology with practical strategies. We work on identifying blind spots, gaining fresh perspectives, and creating a path for growth. I help clients build emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness to make better decisions and confidently lead.
As I’ve learned, success is about wisdom gained, resilience built, and uplifting others. Through Coaching Metta, I empower clients to grow, lead, and live purposefully, redefining success for the next chapter of their lives.
WHY
COACHING METTA?

My coaching approach blends strategic guidance with deep self-reflection, helping professionals and entrepreneurs make intentional career decisions that align with their values and aspirations.
Success isn’t just about achievement—it’s about clarity, fulfillment, and leading with purpose. Coaching Metta is here to help you redefine success on your terms, confidently navigate change, and build a career and life that feel authentically yours.
