Coaching for Authentic, Joyful, and Sustainable Change
Executive Coaching & Entheogenic Retreats to gain clarity on your path forward, with meaningful steps that can be taken now and over time.
my practice
I help senior Design & Tech leaders break through barriers and take steps towards holistic — both personal and professional — transformation.
In both my 1-1 Executive Coaching and Group Retreat offerings, I blend conventional and progressive coaching techniques to help leaders overcome plateaus and achieve profound growth.
My approach integrates modern executive and psychedelic coaching practices, all grounded in neuroscience and data. And if we do not find some joy along the way, something’s not right.
Raise your hand if…
Genuine joy in your work feels like a distant memory
You used to be driven by passion and excitement in your daily tasks — but now, work feels monotonous and uninspired.
You feel there must be something "more" than this
You're pondering what comes next in your career but find yourself stuck in second-guessing and self-doubt instead.
Work-life boundaries are blurring
You find work consistently interfering with having a full, deeply human relationship with yourself and those you care about.
Feeling alone in your role is undermining your leadership confidence
You compare yourself at every turn, making it challenging to lead your team effectively and authentically.
You feel you've hit a plateau in your professional growth
Progress in your career has stalled, leaving you uncertain about your path forward.
You feel stuck in your existing patterns of doing things
Days are starting to blend together, and you're not sure how to change things up in the right way for you.

“Jacob routinely helps me see beyond the limitations I’ve unknowingly placed on myself—then helps me break free of them. I leave our conversations feeling empowered to solve whatever challenge I’m immediately facing, as well as how I can derive more happiness and success out of my career (and, frankly, life). I cannot recommend working with Jacob enough!”

Finding more levity and playfulness in the mundane and momentous alike.

“Jacob was tremendously helpful in helping me navigate an important career transition. I came to Jacob with only a vague idea of what I wanted or needed out of coaching, and Jacob artfully helped me unpack all of that and gave me the tools I needed to find my own path to answers. If you want build long term capacity for growth and discover the tools to help you get there, Jacob is your guy.”

Certified Executive Coach
Jacob Styburski
With over two decades of leadership experience at Design & Technology firms like frog design, Meta, Grubhub, PayPal, and JPMorgan Chase, I bring a wealth of in-the-trenches experience to my role as an executive coach. Certified by both Columbia University and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, I specialize in helping leaders authentically understand themselves to achieve their highest potential.
And, oh hey: I've been on the show ‘Chopped!’, starred in a Nintendo commercial as a kid, and began my career as a mainframe programmer. Plus, I know a thing or two about Texas-style BBQ — I co-founded and served as Head Pitmaster of the nationally acclaimed Revenge BBQ. Let's just say I bring some spice to coaching! ;)
