Feeling stuck or uncertain about your next chapter? As a certified life coach serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, and clients nationwide, I help professionals navigate life transitions, rebuild confidence, and create a vision that feels meaningful and sustainable.
TRUSTED BY
Hi, I’m Jeff Rothenberg, founder of A Path That Calls — a certified life coach based in Phoenix, Arizona.
After 15 years in the tech industry and two career setbacks that forced me to start over, I discovered how powerful it can be to rebuild from the inside out. Now, I help others do the same — combining real-world leadership experience with training in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and certification through the International Coaching Federation (ICF, Associate Level in Process).
Whether we meet in person in Phoenix or virtually from anywhere in the U.S., my approach is compassionate, strategic, and focused on real progress — not just motivation.
When Life Feels Unclear or Off Track
It’s easy to get lost in the noise of daily life—work, relationships, responsibilities—all while feeling like something’s missing underneath it all.
You might be asking yourself:
Why do I feel unfulfilled even when everything looks “fine”?
How do I rebuild confidence after a setback or major life change?
How do I move forward when I’m not even sure what I want anymore?
That’s where my coaching comes in.
Through thoughtful, action-oriented conversations, I help clients in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and beyond rediscover what truly matters—so you can live with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Why My Coaching Approach Works When Others Don’t
Life coaching isn’t about quick motivation—it’s about lasting transformation.
I combine 15+ years of corporate leadership experience with advanced training in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and am currently completing my ICF Associate Certification in Process.
Together, we’ll uncover patterns that hold you back, identify your authentic strengths, and develop clear strategies to help you move forward with confidence—whether you’re rebuilding after loss, redefining success, or ready to create a new chapter that feels like you.
