A Path That Fits

Adrian is a career coach, and his Business is called «A Path That Fits». He has offices in San Francisco and Berkeley. Before I saw Adrian the first time, I felt a bit pessimistic that I could get the support I needed to take my career to the next level. Upon first meeting him, I felt instantly relaxed. The words I would use to describe him and his style are: kind, confident, knowledgeable, experienced, humble, compassionate, open-​minded, grounded and consistently positive; I experienced him embodying all of these qualities throughout each interaction with me. I felt like I was talking with a wise experienced friend. After the first session, and the ones that followed, I was surprised how optimistic I felt. I would recommend Adrian as a resource to anyone who is in a career transition.

I went to see Adrian for multiple career coaching sessions. I had an idea of where I wanted to go with my career prior to seeing Adrian. However, I lacked the confidence to make my dreams a reality. Adrian served as coach and thought partner. He helped me further identify and articulate my strengths and values. I’ve seen improvement in all areas of my life since working with Adrian. If you are looking for career coaching or simply want someone to bring some clarity to «your path» — Adrian is the person to work with. You won’t regret it.

Now that 2011 is coming to a close, I looked at the goals I had set for myself with Adrian, both business and personal, and I have met the biggies: amazing boyfriend manifested, specific number of clients booked, website completely overhauled, performing improv theater, and having fun while doing it! Adrian is a gem of a life coach and a business coach, and I love that he is capable of being helpful in all areas, not just one or the other. He has a practical, non-​flowery way of nudging without judging. I felt totally accepted and supported by him, and he truly has made a difference for me — we’ve gone over practical details like web hosting, etc., and I’ve also gone the other end and got in touch with deeper emotional stuff that was blocking me. I’m not willing to say goodbye to him and will call him for tune-​ups in the future. Plus, he’s simply an all around gorgeous human being. If you can get time with him, go for it.

I took part in one of Adrian’s Career Counseling Groups. Adrian is a great listener, who is astute in bringing out not only what you didn’t know, but what you might already know about yourself, yet never put in the right context. In our one-​on-​one sessions, I always got the sense that he really understood where I was coming from, and if he didn’t, he’d ask the right questions to get on the same page. He acted as moderator, and always seemed to strike the right tone to get the most out of each activity.
I was very happy with the results. After taking part in the Path that Fits program, I have a much more clear picture of where I want to go in my career. I’d recommend his services to anyone who needs some help in focusing on a particular direction that’s right for them.

Adrian was instrumental in helping me move away from a job that was ultimately not the right fit for me and begin pursuing what is really important to me.
When we first met, I was conflicted because my values were hidden by the expectations I thought I should have for myself. Adrien helped me to sort through all of that and I am now very comfortable separating what I want for me from what I think others may want for me.
When I struggled with where to put my energy, Adrien helped me to prioritize and move forward. I often left his office with complete clarity on how I would approach the next week, month, or year. As supportive as friends and family may be, this unbiased help is not something you can find within your immediate social circle.
Ultimately, the decision to leave my job, uproot my life, and make it the adventure Id been pining for had to come from me. But, my time with Adrian helped me to be confident in my choice, despite doubts and uncertainty. Even now, as I write from Southern Bolivia, I often refer to his teachings when confronted with a decision or an unexpected situation.
If you are on this page reading this review, call him for a consultation. Its free and you will immediately have a taste of what were all talking about! You have NOTHING to lose and everything to gain.

I’m not going to waste your time or bandy with words. If you think you need a coach, someone who can cut through the BS and help you realize your potential, I would highly suggest you give Adrian a call. I’ve only had two sessions, plus his extremely generous half hour free consultation, and I have already undergone amazing changes in my life.
Adrian has helped me give voice to some of my longest held beliefs and dreams, and gotten me on a plan to realize them. He creates an environment which allows for vulnerability, knowing full well that through this you can realize just how strong you are. I am grateful for the work we do, and will continue to do.
With Adrian’s help I’ve opened myself up to the possibility that I can be, and feel the way I’ve dreamed I always could. That I’m already good enough, and the only thing that has been holding me back have been my old deep seated doubts and fears.
But I said I would keep it to the point. Adrian is instrumental in the changes I’m invoking in my life. I would highly suggest you call him if you’re curious about this service. I have already recommended my best friend to him, and will recommend many more without reservation.

In an exceptionally turbulent time of my life I felt I needed some guidance. Going through a major career change from being employed to starting my own company was a little overwhelming.
Being very skeptic about anything that seemed too much like therapy I started searching for coaching instead and Adrian’s website popped up.
It took me a few more weeks before I finally made the call to schedule the initial telephone session. The way Adrian asked questions about what I was hoping to get out of life and career coaching, helped me make the decision to finally schedule my first one-​on-​one session.
It was the best thing I’ve ever treated myself to.
Adrian helps me clear the clutter in my brain, figure out my goals, not just for my career path, but also for daily life.
He is excellent in asking questions, and most of the time lets you find your own answers by carefully guiding you along the way.
I know much better now what I want, and what I am capable of, and also to break through blocks by asking myself questions, and carefully examining a complicated situation. I’ve learned some very valuable tools in just a few sessions. Adrian is my life and career coach, AND my cheerleader. I wouldn’t have kick started everything that needed to be done to start my company without him.
If you think you need a little, or a lot, of help, Adrian is the best. Highly recommended.

I have traveled down many paths searching for one that fits. Adrian helps me realize, and remember when I forget, that my path exists for me as I create it, it’s something that comes from within and is uniquely expressed by me to the world.
The courage and strength I call on to take each step towards my goal is evolving buoyed by Adrian’s incredible inquiries and transformational challenges.
I literally googled «life coach san francisco» and called A Path That Fits. I am incredibly grateful that I did!

Adrian is a devoted, organized, and wise-​beyond-​words life coach /​career coach. Working with Adrian helped me connect to my natural strengths and inner sense of who I am and what I want. His life coaching and career coaching process was well structured, enlightening, and easy to understand. The career coaching process included everything from self-​discovery activities to visualizations to values exercises to career assessments that revealed information about the best careers for me. It seemed very well researched and contemporary.
I am now in the process of applying to grad school and I feel confident and ready to take this huge step forward in my career path. I would recommend Adrian as a life coach /​career coach /​guide to anyone, from friends and family to the crazy lady outside my apartment.
He also leads free career coaching groups for clients and friends and people like you that are interested in learning more about what it’s like to work with a life coach or career coach. You’ll love him!
