Career & Business Coaching Serving New York City

As a certified coach, Steven brings the same leadership principles, strategic discipline, and performance mindset that propelled his own executive success into his coaching and consulting practice. His approach combines executive-level strategy, practical action, accountability, and genuine empathy, creating lasting mindset shifts, increased confidence, and measurable results.

With more than 30 years of executive leadership experience building organizations, leading business transformations, and developing high-performing leaders, Steven Toss helps professionals and business owners unlock new levels of performance, influence, and success.

Through Pinnacle Coaching & Consulting, Steven works with professionals and business owners across New York City, in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as the many New Jersey residents who commute into the city every day. New York's job market is fast, crowded, and unforgiving of drift. Promotions go to the people who can make their case, and career changes stall when there's no clear plan behind them.

Whether you're working toward a promotion at a bank or law firm, weighing a move out of tech, or growing a business in one of the most competitive markets in the country, Pinnacle provides the structure and accountability to move forward with clarity. All sessions are virtual, so coaching fits around your calendar, not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer career coaching in New York City?
    Yes. Pinnacle works with professionals across all five boroughs, from Midtown and the Financial District to Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Sessions are held virtually, so you can meet before work, over lunch, or after the commute without adding another trip across town.
  • Do you coach professionals in finance, law, and tech in NYC?
    Yes. New York's biggest employers run on long hours, tight promotion windows, and a lot of internal politics. Pinnacle's coaching is built for exactly those situations: positioning yourself for a promotion, negotiating an offer, moving from individual contributor to manager, or deciding whether to stay in your industry at all.
  • Do you work with people who commute into NYC from New Jersey?
    Yes. Pinnacle is based in New Jersey and works with many professionals who commute into Manhattan on NJ Transit, PATH, or the ferry. Early morning and evening session times are available so coaching fits around the commute instead of competing with it.
  • Do you work with clients going through a career change in NYC?
    Yes. Pinnacle works as a career transition coach for New Yorkers who are pivoting industries, returning to work after time away, or rebuilding after a layoff. The process focuses on getting clear on the goal, building a concrete plan, and staying accountable until you land.

    Yes. Pinnacle works with founders and owners of small and mid-sized businesses in New York City who want a clearer strategy, stronger leadership, and better execution as they grow.
