Empower Your Team and Advance Your Career

Transitioning from a dedicated technical expert to a team leader can be exciting, challenging, and stressful without someone to guide you.

 

Let’s face it: You got the promotion because you’re a top performer. Until recently, your focus has been on honing your knowledge, experience, and technical skills for personal achievement.

 

As a team leader, success is measured by your ability to inspire the team to scale faster than they could individually.

 

You have to empower individuals to utilize their skills to elevate the team while pursuing personal achievement.

 

Success happens when the team achieves a common goal while individuals on the team achieve their goals.

 

A good team leader empowers contributors to do both.

 

I know because I’ve been exactly where you are now…

 

Multiple times.

Coach Shawn

I help technical experts navigate their path from to leadership excellence.

From soldering circuit boards to leading transformational change—I’ve lived the journey from hands-on engineer to senior leader. After starting my career deep in hardware and software development, I discovered my true passion: helping other technical experts navigate their path to leadership excellence, which taught me invaluable lessons.

Technical decisions have clear right and wrong answers. However, it’s not so cut and dry when it comes to leadership, which is where real growth happens.

I partner with engineering leaders who face the same challenges I’ve faced and overcome —managing former peers, balancing technical depth with strategic thinking, and building high-performing teams.

As a certified professional coach, I combine real-world leadership experience with proven coaching techniques to help you develop your authentic leadership style. Whether you’re a new team lead feeling the weight of people management or a senior director scaling your organization, I provide the confidential sounding board and structured guidance you need to succeed.

I’ll provide the tools and support you need to become a great leader.
