Coaching by Nicole

Everyone runs into problems that they can't solve on their own. I've hit this at every juncture of my career. When I was a new manager, I had peers but no one who could look at the whole big picture with me. And when I was promoted to Staff Software Engineer at a small startup, there was no one higher on the technical track for me learn from. I forged my own path and had to learn more slowly than I could have—and I got burned along the way.

My coaching practice serves engineers who are in the position I was earlier in my career. What would I have given to have a coach who had been through the problems I was running into and could listen, explain, and help me grow?

My focus is on helping engineers who are at a growth stage and who feel like they could grow faster and more effectively with some extra help. We can work together on improving your leadership and interpersonal skills, your big picture and systems thinking, your technical skill trajectory, and we can work on any career problems that come up.

If you want to explore working together, email me. In your introduction email, please let me know who you are and what you want to work on together. I typically recommend that we book multiple sessions at a time, since coaching work takes time to pay off.
