If you are seeking a well-being and career coach who offers candor, expertise, and passion for helping others succeed, hire Brittany… I honestly was hesitant at first - I had never worked with a coach and was a bit skeptical about the impact this could have on my professional endeavors. Over the last 5+ months, Brittany has coached me on leadership, presentation skills, and communication skills; identifying areas of improvement I wouldn't have seen on my own. Moreover, her actionable advice and resources have put me on the right track to continue developing those skills while finding insightful ways to balance them with what is most important to me.”

Stressed To Perfection
The Feeling: A bone-deep exhaustion layered with ever-present anxiety that hums and spikes in erratic bursts.
The Headspace: Disillusionment; with your company, your leadership, your job.
The Fear: If I slow down, I will fail.
My clients come with diverse backgrounds yet surprisingly similar pain points. They have excelled by working harder, longer, better than everyone else, but it has come at a grave cost. They are finally tired of being so tired. Similarly, while their coaching journeys are unique, their outcomes are remarkably alike. Exhaustion is replaced with an energized calm. Disillusionment shifts to clarity; about what they control, what they can do, and, when it comes to their job, whether to stay or go. And the fear is named; perfectionism. A promise wrapped around a threat that if I’m perfect enough, I will be enough. Through coaching my clients re-write the stories that have held them back and driven them into the ground. They learn to practice new behaviors in their everyday lives and fully experience the truth about how high achievement and restorative practices intersect — that when I finally slow down, all parts of my life can flourish.

Why Coaching WorksCoaching is about setting goals, making changes, and learning from your actions. It is about keeping you in the driver seat while someone with unique knowledge and skills points out things you may not have noticed before, suggests a new route, and helps you navigate to a place in your life you’d rather be. Coaching is about empowerment. It is about empowering you, the client, to make extraordinary change.
Read more on the What is Coaching? page. Who I CoachI help stressed out high-performers who want more balance between their work and personal lives. They are burnt out from jobs they can't put down; whatever their reasons, they all seem to come back to the same question; can I achieve great success if I take time for self care. Need a clearer picture? Does this describe you?
My Coaching StyleMy approach combines empathy and genuine caring with direct, honest feedback, a sense of humor, and a willingness to challenge preexisting assumptions. By questioning old narratives around success, productivity, and self-worth, setting boundaries, building new habits, and moving past the alluring siren-call of perfectionism, we start to shift first your actions and then your outcomes. I am an action-oriented coach who firmly believes that once you have the clarity and confidence to go after your goals, you hold the power to create extraordinary change.
For ~7.5 years I have worked in well-being coaching and training spaces, first at Google and now in my private practice. I hold a BA in Psychology from Yale and received my coaching certification from the Hudson Institute in Santa Barbara, which is accredited by the International Coach Federation.

I can't say enough amazing things about Brittany!... She's smart, kind, and fun! She's a master coach and has helped me to see things in a different light and got me on a path for next steps. She even checks back in to see how I'm doing which is above and beyond because she's such a caring person.

I highly recommend Brittany Finkelstein as a smart, witty, compassionate coach for business or personal matters… It is so important to have a coach that understands your needs and it is equally critical to have a coach who can sit in your darkness with you in a safe, empathetic and compassionate way. Brittany was both of those things for me... Brittany will show up for you as you show up for yourself. I am transformed one video chat at a time and I am forever grateful.
