About Parker
Not just the work on his résumé — co-founding companies, teaching at Stanford's d.school, coaching hundreds of founders and senior leaders. The other work. The kind that happens in therapy, on meditation cushions, and over 23 years in recovery.
That's what he brings to every coaching engagement, every keynote, and every leadership team experience. Not a framework. A genuine, hard-won understanding of what it actually takes to become the kind of person who can lead well — and not lose everything else in the process.
Parker believes that personal development isn't a perk for leaders. It's the job. The founders and executives he works with aren't missing a better strategy or a smarter system. They're missing the clarity, honesty, and self-awareness that only comes from doing the real work.
That's what Parker helps them do.
Better humans make better leaders. Better leaders build better organizations.
