About Sean
Howdy! I'm Sean, a current second-year dual MBA / MPA (Master of Public Administration) student at Stanford GSB and the Harvard Kennedy School. I'm from Houston, Texas and have lived in all over Texas (Austin, Dallas, Houston), in NYC, Boston, and Nairobi. My professional passion is in the workforce/future of work/economic mobility space, and in my personal life I love storytelling, comedy, and distance running. Previously a consultant, I'm now pivoting to get my hands dirty in entrepreneurship! I've worked with mentees on consulting recruiting and led recruiting teams all throughout my six-year consulting career. While at GSB, I've had the honor of helping dozens of classmates shape the authentic (and hopefully entertaining and funny!) stories they want to share with their GSB class. Through this all I've honed a combination of intuition and process that works to bring out the core of a person's story... while making it fun too!! I'm excited to help you out however I can!
Why do I coach?
While at Stanford GSB I've been one of our class's five TALK Coaches; we carry on the TALK tradition by coaching two classmates a week to share their life's story with 250+ peers. Through this and giving my own TALK, I've seen the power that comes from deliberate and painstaking reflection that allows one to shape their own narrative. Sure it's critical for applications, but it also affects our own internal narrative that we tell ourselves about who we are, which has a massive effect on how we show up in the world!
