Who is this guy?
Hi, I'm Javier!
Early in my career, I was a highly-valued rising star who got promotions and raises nearly every year, almost effortlessly. It wasn't necessarily easy, but as an individual contributor, I knew *exactly* what I was doing.
Before I knew it, I was made a people manager, and things changed... Of course, my boss still expected me to be awesome, but suddenly I had to use skills I had never explicitly developed before. Executives, colleagues, and my team looked to me to perform in an arena where, frankly, I had zero confidence. That didn't sit well with me.
Committed to being the best manager and leader I could be, I poured myself into the topic, reading dozens of books and spending 10s of thousands of dollars on classes & courses. Through years of trial and error, I'd finally become the awesome manager I set out to be.
I help marketing and creative leaders simplify people management so they can engage their teams, inspire greatness, and get fast results without breaking a sweat. In Manage Awesomely, I've distilled all of the knowledge and experience I've gained into a coaching program that I'd love to share with you!
Why trust my management expertise?
I practice what I preach.
“[Javier] has brought organization and efficiency to our marketing team that our company was missing for a long time, and has made such a positive difference... He has truly shaped my future management style for the better.”
Ashley Perez
“Javier has everything you could ask for in a manager. He is able to observe problems from a high level perspective and dig to identify and understand the root cause of them, draft helpful and creative solutions, and does it all effectively.”
Elizabeth Cano
"Javier's expert coaching has helped me tremendously... I avoided several pitfalls and gained much-needed perspective thanks to his guidance. I recently held a 90-day review with one of my direct reports, and she rated me an '11 out of 10' manager. I wouldn't be excelling without Javier's monthly coaching in my corner. Highly recommended!"
