Feeling left to sink or swim?
I'm convinced Engineering Leaders should have more support than they get.
I help you reset, even when:
- Everything is behind
- You doubt your ability
- The boss gives little direction
Let someone throw you a line.
Are you...
Afraid of being judged by hidden expectations no one told you?
Worried your experience won't transfer to another job and you are trapped?
Context-switching so much you feel like quality is dropping & you're letting everyone down?
Needing to vent without risking a coworker misunderstanding, re-sharing, or being burdened by it?
Time to Reset
You tumble from crisis to crisis: the project is running behind, support issues, a team member is being combative. You'd love to focus if someone would give you a drop of clarity on what is important besides "everything."
Listen: I get it, but you can't keep waiting for that.
Even great bosses are busy, and the less-great bosses aren't coming to save you.
We've got to grab the wheel.
What We'll Do
I've developed a process for evaluating priorities, execution bottlenecks and team health. Let's get a grip on that overloaded calendar and practice having tough conversations so they don't blindside you.
Could leadership tell you next quarter you obviously should have been focused elsewhere?
Sure. Maybe you missed a queue. Maybe they are unreasonable. It happens.
This is why the true game-changer is learning mind-management & resilience. I see mental self-sabotage everywhere in tech: People-pleasing. Over-work & burnout. Over-think & paralysis. Imposter syndrome. Avoidance.
Can we change your boss or the market? No.
Can we grab the wheel of your own ship before you hit the rocks? Yes.
Start doing work you are proud of.
Who am I?
I'm a 20+ year tech startup veteran, with experience in every role from Senior Developer to PM to CTO. I love the energy and drive of early-stage companies, but I know firsthand the toll it can take. I was introduced to coaching in 2021 and recognized it as the missing piece I so needed in my early years.
I poured myself into certification and have spent the last few years dedicated to giving the support I wish I had.
There is a way through this maze, but you've got to climb out of survival-thinking enough to see it. That's where I come in. You need a place to vent & reset focus with someone who is 100% in your corner.
Let's talk.
We need to start by getting clear on where you are.
On this initial (free) call my goal is to help you see where you are on the map, what you've tried, next steps and how my work might fit in. This alone is a tremendous value to your mind.
Reach out via email with a bit about your situation and a few times that could work for you to talk.
What holds you back?
I'm a certified coach working 1:1 with my clients via zoom with email/voxer coaching available between sessions. I typically start with a 6-12 week focused series for new clients.
I apply a blend of strategic questions and mentorship depending on the problems you bring. I'm known for my warmth and getting straight to work, with a castiron belief in my clients. I work best with those who are ready to be honest with themselves & take action.
I customize packages based on client needs and schedule, employing sliding scale pricing when necessary. As a ballpark, you probably spend more eating out every month than you would investing in your worklife with me.
Individual Decision-making Sessions
Cancelled sessions with at least 24 hours notice will receive a full refund.
Following someone's FIRST session with me I allow for full refund within 24 hours.
Beyond this point I do not offer refunds for used sessions or no-shows.
Tech Team Leadership or General Life Coaching Packages
For those in longer-term coaching packages, I allow full refund during the first 4 weeks of working together. Why? You don't know what this is like and I don't expect to be the right fit for every human. Why create stress over that?
Beyond 4 weeks I handle refund requests on unused sessions on a case-by-case basis.
My schedule has overlap with both work and non-work hours, and sessions can be 20-60 minutes long depending on need. We can usually figure out something that works for both of us.
