Two ways to work 1:1 with Andrew Chanthaphone, who has spent 14+ years in IAM and sat on the hiring side of the table. A 30-minute strategy session, or a one-hour simulated interview with a written scorecard.
You've read the postings, watched the videos, maybe started a course. What you can't tell is which of the twenty things you could study next actually moves you, or whether your background reads like someone who can do the work. Guessing at that for another few months is the expensive option, and it's hard not to take it personally.
Nobody should have to work out a field this specific alone.

FAQ
Questions people ask before booking.
How are coaching sessions conducted?
All sessions are 1:1 video calls with Andrew. Every session is recorded and sent to you afterward so you can review it anytime. Sessions are scheduled at a time that works for both of you.
I'm completely new to IAM. Is coaching right for me?
If you're brand new, the IAM Career Strategy Session is a good place to start. Andrew will assess where you are and tell you honestly whether coaching makes sense now or if you should start with a course first. No upsell, just the truth.
What if I need to reschedule a session?
Life happens. Reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice and it's no problem.
What's the difference between the $97 session and the $299 audit?
The $97 Strategy Session is a conversation about where you are and what to focus on next. The $299 Audit is a test. For an hour Andrew runs it as a real IAM interview, then scores you in writing across six areas and gives you a two-week plan. Book the session if you don't know what to work on. Book the audit if you want to know how you'd actually do.
Is the audit tailored to a specific job posting?
No. It's one standard IAM analyst/engineer loop, the same for everyone in a given month, so your scorecard is measured against a consistent bar rather than one posting. The question set rotates monthly.
When do I get the scorecard and recording?
Within 2 days of the session, by email. The scorecard has your scores in six areas, three strengths and three gaps with quotes from the recording, and a two-week improvement plan. The recording is included, always.
Can I get a refund on the audit?
This service is non-refundable. Because a live session and a downloadable deliverable (recording + written scorecard) are provided, no refunds are issued before or after the session. You may reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice at no penalty.
Do I need to have taken one of your courses first?
No. The audit stands on its own. If you've done the work somewhere else, this is how you find out whether it holds up in the room.
Andrew Chanthaphone
14+ Years in IAM
When I started in identity there was nobody to ask. 14+ years of architecting and deploying identity solutions across federal and enterprise environments later, I've also been on the hiring side, and I know what actually gets people the job. Every session is built around that experience, not theory.
