1:1 Coaching for Individual Contributors in Tech
You don't have to figure it all out alone.
Tech careers can look successful on the outside while feeling heavy on the inside. People may look up to you but on the inside you might be navigating a promotion, rebuilding confidence after difficult feedback, leading a challenging project or stakeholder relationships, or trying to survive in tech without burning out.
How I coach
I do not give advice by default. My role is to help you explore and examine your thoughts and assumptions, hear yourself honestly, and move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are.
If I genuinely think that my decades of experience in tech might help you, I'll ask your permission to give you advice.
Thought provoking questions
I will actively listen to you without imposing my own agenda or solutions. Through thoughtful questions and reflection, I'll help you explore challenges more deeply and uncover perspectives you may not yet see.
Goal clarifications
Together, we'll clarify what support you need, what matters most to you, and what meaningful progress looks like in your situation.
Support and accountability
Coaching is supportive, but it is also challenging. I will help you identify priorities, take action, and stay accountable to the goals and changes that matter to you.
What people bring into coaching
Coaching creates space for the things that are often left unsaid at work. Some of the topics are:
Finding it hard to settle into a new role
Doubting whether you deserve to pursue a promotion
Experiencing a drop in confidence after critical feedback or a performance review
Feeling destabilised after stepping into a promotion
Facing pressure while leading a complex project
Becoming demotivated after a challenging project
Trying to maintain a healthy work–life balance
Rebuilding trust with colleagues
Readjusting after returning from long-term leave
What's included:
Free chemistry call
6 private coaching sessions
50 minutes for each session
Spread over 3 or 6 months, your choice
You are in good company
I just had the best session with Dianing! She helped me discover new ways to bring joy into areas of my life where I’m not feeling it right now (like my day job!)
We even came up with a fun Pickle Party idea to engage more with my community.
I left feeling energized, excited, and looking forward to our next check-in for more insights!
Elizabeth B.
Senior Content Designer
The conversation helped ground me in the vision of my next move, taking me from an ambiguous blur of "maybe there's more excitement" to a more tangible, focused recognition that all choices have trade-offs.
This grounding has helped me solidify my "why" for the next step. It also helped me solidify and crystallise my expectations for the next 3-6 months.
Instead of simply hoping that my career takes my desired turn, I now have tangible steps to take control and begin to move myself towards the future I want.
Emma B.
Senior Software Engineer
You helped me identify 2 of my core values which is providing me a framework on which I can evaluate why certain situations affect me.
Knowing my core values is also helping me navigate my career and decide which tasks are most worth my time and will make me happy in my career.
In all of our sessions I feel that you are very sensitive and attuned to how words might affect your coachee.
You've asked me directly if you can give me advice, and you were very thoughtful in identifying that you may be switching between mentor and coach mode.
Jamie G.
Senior Developer
Coaching is not only for the C-suite, the VPs, the directors. It's also for the individual contributors facing challenges.
1:1 coaching is also for senior software engineers, tech leads, lead devs, staff engineers, principal engineers, product managers, UX designers, UX researchers, content designers, delivery managers, technical program manager, you name it.
You deserve coaching, too.
