• perhaps climbing the promotion ladder
Career and life advancement requires a willingness to change and improve, but it’s hard to read the label from inside the jar. Do you know where and how you can improve? If not, that’s normal. Often, these things fall into our blind spots. But don’t worry. Even the greats sought help—think Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Tom Brady. They sought external guidance to fuel internal growth and push themselves to peak performance.
Coaching skills are like a trusty Swiss army knife—there’s a tool for pretty much every situation. Add an ICF certification, 25 years of engineering consulting, and 40+ years of being a student, a husband, a father, an employee, an owner, and a few other hats, and there’s not much I haven’t seen.
No, I haven’t worked with Fortune 500 companies or been an executive. I’m not a self-declared CEO. But I know what it’s like on the front lines and in the trenches as a service provider, team manager, project manager, and business owner. I understand where you’re coming from because I’ve been there. And as much as there is on the engineering side, there’s even more on the life side
Getting coached by me is getting coached by one of your own. I speak fluent engineer, with just enough geek charm to avoid those ‘lost in translation’ moments—and don’t worry, I’ll save you from the horror of unexpected math quizzes. And we’ll leave the heavy-duty math to the side – no Laplace transforms or calculating forces today. Imagine having a coach who gets the quirks of the engineer’s mind. We’ll convert those analytical skills into your superpower on this quest from ‘here’ to ‘hero’ minus the kryptonite of unnecessary complexity.
Coaching isn’t therapy—it’s about partnering to address your personal or professional challenges. Together, we focus on topics like career development, leadership skills, work-life balance, and personal fulfillment. It’s all about you and your journey.
The answer hinges on what you determine as your initial goals. Progress becomes apparent as you work towards achieving it. Look for improved performance, heightened self-awareness, personal growth, refined skills, and positive feedback from family, friends, and colleagues as signs of advancement.
