Your support in exploring, clarifying, navigating, and moving yourself forward 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 support you

I do not give you pre-defined steps to follow, nor do I give you 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

Working with me is supportive, but it is also gently challenging. I will help you identify priorities, take action, and stay accountable to the goals and changes that matter to you.

What people bring

I create a confidential space for the things that are often left unsaid at work. Some of the topics people bring are:

  • Finding it hard to settle into a new organisation

  • Doubting whether you deserve to pursue a promotion

  • Experiencing a drop in confidence after critical feedback or a performance review

  • Feeling unmoored 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

  • Feeling stressed with the pressure and expectations to keep up and to keep climbing

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

Working with Dianing over just six sessions transformed how I show up in my professional life. She has an exceptionally gentle, thoughtful approach—her guidance is subtle and deeply attentive, creating a calm space where real growth happens. With her support, I was able to clarify my core values, visualize tangible future goals, and develop healthy ways to navigate day-to-day stress in my current role. Most importantly, she helped me rebuild my self-belief and confidence from the inside out. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone feeling stuck or seeking clarity in their career.

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 1:1 coaching, too.
