Let me be direct _
Your career challenges aren’t one-size-fits-all. After 30+ years navigating Fortune 500 complexities across Western, Asian, and diverse cultural environments, I’ve learned that professionals need different strategies at different stages.
Here’s the thing, though. Most career advice assumes everyone wants the same thing. They don’t.
I’m Ivan Hug, and unlike most career coaches, I’m not just sharing wisdom from the sidelines. I’m doing the work every day – managing global teams, driving strategy, navigating the same operational and cultural complexities you face. This isn’t theory. It’s practice.
Whether you’re an Accomplished Drifter questioning your direction, a Growth Seeker hungry for acceleration, or a Balance Master seeking integration – I get it. Each stage requires different navigation tools.

No recycled LinkedIn wisdom. No motivational fluff. Just practical intelligence from your lighthouse keeper who’s seen these patterns before.
Choose your current career stage to unlock targeted strategies
The Accomplished Drifter (10+ years experience)
Successful on paper, unsettled inside
You’ve checked all the boxes. The title, the salary, the respect. And yet that nagging feeling won’t go away - you’re evolving beyond what once satisfied you.
The Growth Seeker (5-15 years' experience)
Satisfied but not settling
You know your craft. You deliver results. But playing it safe isn’t your style. The corporate ladder feels limiting when you see opportunities everywhere.
The Balance Master (Any level)
Success redefined on your terms
Work-life balance? That’s yesterday’s thinking. You’re after work-life integration. Flexibility, autonomy, and alignment matter more than corner offices.
