The career creator who turns firsts into leaders.

Decoded for first-generation professionals. Colin teaches audiences to identify the unspoken norms, values, and behaviors that actually drive company culture — the business-dinner etiquette, the managing-up instincts, the “subtle social skills they don’t teach” — drawing on his own path as a first-gen professional who never sat at a white-napkin restaurant until corporate life. This is his most-requested territory: practical, funny, and immediately usable.

“You didn’t choose your career. Your identity did.” In his strongest-performing content series, Colin argues that too many ambitious people use job titles to cover up who they actually are — then walks audiences through the audit: how to tell whether you chose your work or let it be chosen for you, and what to do next. Built for early-career and mid-career audiences rethinking their path.

Personal branding for the expert economy. Colin’s 3 C’s framework — Competency, Charisma, Conflict — shows professionals how to turn their experience into a platform: how to talk about yourself with precision, document your wins, and make your work visible to the right people. Drawn from his viral personal-branding content and his “One Page Brag Book” system for promotions and reviews.

Community building, taught by someone who does it monthly. As founder of NYC’s fastest-growing young-professional meetup series, Colin breaks down how he engineers real connection — the “no job titles” rule, guided networking formats, and the conversation prompts from his First Round card deck. Ideal for organizations that want their people to actually talk to each other, not just exchange business cards.

For audiences in transition — layoffs, pivots, new chapters. Colin reframes nonlinear careers as the norm, not the exception: four jobs in five years, two layoffs, and filing for unemployment while rocking his son to sleep became the foundation of his career. Practical reframes for telling your story in seasons of growth or redirection, drawn from his “How to start over” series.
