Master time, energy & focus in 90 days. Coaching stressed out tech professionals to prepare for volatility, tame uncertainty & thrive in ambiguity | Co-Founder of Changing Work Collective | Conscious Leadership Activist

Clients tell me they don’t have anyone they can speak honestly with about the struggle of being a high performer these days. 

We've built the resume, earned the money, and learned how to operate under pressure. 

We're capable, respected, and outwardly successful, but increasingly alone with questions we can’t ignore.

We know how to deliver, stay composed, and keep going when things get hard. 

But there is a cumulative cost to doing that indefinitely.

Things have changed.We have changed.
The strategies that once got us far stop working. 

The systems and habits we operate in demand more than they give back.

Our calendar stays full and output remains high, but focus is harder to access, breaks doesn’t restore us the way they used to, and the sense that something has to change  becomes hard to ignore.

Many people see this as a personal failure, but it's not...It's a signal.

The conditions most of us are operating under are VUCA: Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. 

Understanding that context can help, but awareness doesn’t resolve the problem on its own. We have to adapt.

That’s where Rebellion begins.

I work with leaders and professionals who are done sacrificing their health and integrity just to keep up.  

People who can't burn everything down and walk away, but also aren't willing to keep drifting on dwindling momentum, and the distant hope of retirement.

People who are ready to own this moment.

This Quiet Rebellion.

The core of this work is reclaiming capacity through deliberate attention to our time, energy, and attention. Not as another productivity hack, but as a way to interrupt deep patterns of self-betrayal and distraction, and regain agency over how we live and work.

I spent 13 years in big tech and more than a decade as an entrepreneur, thriving through reorgs, layoffs, pivots, bubbles, crashes and volatility inside and out. 

I've learned the real risk isn’t falling behind...

It’s staying "busy" on autopilot while slowly losing contact with who you are.

If you’re ready to take responsibility for what comes next, I can help. 

If not, it's worth reflecting on how long you’re willing to keep living this way.

Ask yourself, how long will you endure before you demand the best for yourself?

It doesn't have to be this way.
You have options.
You have help. 

Be Rebellious!
In Solidarity ✊

Alec Kassin Coaching

I coach athletes suffering from chronic pain to be pain free from the inside out - without drugs, surgery, or hands-on physical treatment. 

My scientifically-backed Pain Free Comeback Methodology empowers those suffering for years or decades to be pain free in a matter of months or even weeks, just as I did. 

And after they recover, these athletes are transformed to perform at a higher level, realizing a deeper level of strength, resilience, and ease than they could ever imagine.

I've helped numerous clients become pain free, get back to their favorite activities, and stay healthy - from high-performance triathletes to folks who simply want to walk without pain again. 

Whether it's a herniated disc, torn meniscus, ankle tendonitis, rotator cuff tear, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or much more, there's a very good chance that my approach can help you.

Presenter, Facilitator, & Coach

LinkedIn

Creating, operationalizing, and scaling LinkedIn’s first-ever go-to-market offers and programs across multiple lines of business. 

These global initiatives integrate LinkedIn's disparate hiring, learning and employee engagement offerings into cohesive bundles. 

I touch the entire program lifecycle - from brainstorming new offers to securing buy-in from executives, and from developing roadmaps to executing the operations. 

I’m grateful to collaborate with dozens of cross-functional partners and our top sellers around the world to revolutionize how customers maximize value from LinkedIn.

Manager, Cross-LOB Monetization Strategy & Operations

Mainstreaming mindfulness & operationalizing compassion at LinkedIn to help my colleagues bring out the best in themselves and others. 

Collaborating with our Head of Mindfulness and Compassion, I run regular meditation classes and facilitate half-day workshops.

Mindfulness & Compassion Ambassador

A newly-created role, I partnered with LinkedIn’s most tenured account directors on a new commercial program and bespoke deal strategy for LinkedIn’s top 30 customers.

Manager, Connected Enterprise Monetization Strategy & Operations

Designed, operationalized, and scaled the Talent Solutions Enterprise Program, a worldwide G2M program that unlocked new value for customers and accelerated growth in LinkedIn’s largest business line.

After collaborating on a successful program roll-out in North America, I decided to move to Ireland to build the Talent Solutions Enterprise Program in Europe, Asia and Latin America. 

My title was Monetization, but I wore many hats: From determining program strategy to designing pricing frameworks, facilitating dozens of trainings with senior sales teams (including one in Paris en français), collaborating with our sellers on needle-moving deals, operationalizing pricing and sales processes, and managing executive stakeholder relations.

It was through this international experience that I gained an appreciation for the complexity of European, Asian & Latin American markets, and the knowledge of how to strike a delicate balance between a regional approach and a global objective.

Associate Manager, Monetization Strategy & Ops - EMEA, APAC & LATAM

As the first hire on the new Monetization Team, I drove pricing, operations & framework design for LinkedIn’s 8-figure Talent Solutions Enterprise Program, which hit 300% of its bookings target in 2017. 

My role in this key initiative required collaboration with a dozen cross-functional partners and teams, completely upending how LinkedIn’s sales teams sell, how quotas are set, how order forms are created, even how LinkedIn recognized revenue. 
 
To help LinkedIn grow into this future, I determined pricing frameworks, created new policies, built training content, facilitated workshops, priced individual deals, and even pitched to external executives. I also owned KPI reporting to senior sales leadership. 

I taught myself Excel (thanks, LinkedIn Learning!) and built a multivariable deal calculator in tandem with an internal tracking database to enable pricing and tracking of 1000+ deals from 500+ sales reps. These tools touched 12 segments, covered 15 products, 6 currencies, and are still used in every region in which LinkedIn sells.

Associate Manager, Monetization Operations

My LinkedIn journey started as one of 15 associates in the Business Leadership Program. Associates in “BLP” develop skills and gain exposure to LinkedIn's business and products through rotations and projects.

Rotation 1: Talent Acquisition – Technical Recruiter 
Sourced and recruited 4 LinkedIn Engineering hires (3 senior roles) during a 4-month rotation. 
Sent thousands of InMails to candidates and conducted over 75 interviews to attract talent in a challenging market.

Rotation 2: Customer Operations - Enterprise Support
Solved ~1,400 customer support cases for LinkedIn clients, achieving 125%-150% of weekly quota and exceeding expectations for customer satisfaction scores.

Side Projects
Talent Solutions Enterprise Program (TSEP): Priced and helped negotiate new “all-in” Enterprise deals with some of LinkedIn’s largest and most strategic clients. This project led to a full-time conversion onto the Monetization Team as an Associate Manager.

LinkedIn for Good: LinkedIn actively helps connect non-profits with potential board members. In partnership with a Los Angeles non-profit bringing healthcare services to underserved communities, I led a successful search for two new board members.

Associate, Business Leadership Program - Global Sales

I empower injured athletes with slow recoveries, poor treatment results, and persistent symptoms to make a Pain Free Comeback. 

At age 18, I was a semi-pro cyclist diagnosed with a ruptured spinal disc.

Over two years, severe back pain ended my cycling career, pulled me out of college, left me partially bedridden, on strong painkillers, depressed, and with suicidal thoughts.

I tried every treatment I could find, but still endured constant pain - my recovery was uncertain.

Thankfully, I've been pain-free and unrestricted for over a decade.

Yet here's the thing: That ruptured spinal disc is still visible on my MRI.

The pain wasn’t 'all in my head.' It was real, severe, and in my body. 

But the problem wasn't my disc. And the solution wasn't to fix it. 

I’m not alone, either. More people are learning that some of the best athletes in the world with nagging injuries and structural abnormalities like bulging discs, torn meniscuses, and torn rotator cuffs have become pain-free without fixing their bodies.

I'm an Injury Comeback Coach, and I demystify how to do this for my clients. 

I've trained with renowned chronic pain specialists, sports medicine physicians, and psychologists from Cedars Sinai, Michigan State, and Wayne State. 

I've helped Kona triathletes, state champion cyclists, marathon runners, actors, American Ninja Warriors, and those who just want to enjoy movement again get back to their favorite activities in the face of scary injuries and persistent pain.

Before working together, many were unsatisfied with treatment results, unable to perform or even exercise, and unsure how — or if — they were going to get better. They felt their athletic identity had been ripped away and that their self-worth was shattered.

The good news is that proven injury solutions already exist, outperform conventional treatments, and are becoming widely adopted. And breakthroughs can happen in less time than it takes to heal a broken bone.

This is why I created the Pain Free Comeback Method. It empowers athletes to break through pain and injury, perform with a competitive advantage, and feel like themselves again.

Seeing so many people who thought they’d never recover make amazing comebacks has revealed an unshakable truth: 

Your biggest setback can become your greatest comeback.
