About Coaching

A pure coach doesn’t provide direct technical or business advice. Instead, they help you develop your own leadership style and solutions through powerful questions, structured frameworks, and accountability. 

A mentor helps you learn new skills and tactics by sharing their own experience and knowledge.  

I will use a combination of both coaching and mentoring.

While I specialize in helping technical experts transition into leadership roles, I also work with experienced technical leaders looking to advance to the next level. The key is that you have a technical background and want to enhance your leadership effectiveness.

My signature program is 6 months, designed to create sustainable leadership transformation. Many clients continue with regular coaching after completing the initial program to maintain momentum and tackle new challenges.  Others come back on an ad-hoc as needed basis.

Sessions are conducted via Zoom.  We can optionally record sessions so you can refer back to them later if you like.

Our coaching relationship is strictly confidential. I follow the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics and provide a detailed confidentiality agreement before we begin working together.

About the Process

Sessions are conducted via Zoom or in person (if you live near Cumming, GA), scheduled at regular intervals. Each session has a specific focus area, but remains flexible to address urgent challenges. Between sessions, you’ll have specific actions to implement and reflect upon.  You will have a personalized portal for computer and mobile browsers where you can track your progress.

Beyond our scheduled sessions, expect to spend 2-3 hours per week on implementation and reflection. This includes trying new approaches with your team, completing assigned readings, and documenting your progress.

While I can’t guarantee specific outcomes, I do guarantee my full commitment to your success. If at any point during the first month you feel we’re not a good fit, I offer a complete refund of that month’s investment, and we will part ways.

About Getting started

If we decide to work together, you’ll receive a welcome packet with our coaching agreement, initial assessment tools, and next steps. We’ll schedule your first two sessions and begin your leadership transformation journey.

Yes, I offer both team coaching and group coaching programs. We can discuss these options during our strategy session if you’re interested in development for your entire team.
