Proven Results That Speak for Themselves
Why Brilliant Technical Professionals Get Stuck
The Executive Presence Paradox
75% of senior leadership decisions are based on presence and communication, not technical skills. The behaviors that make you an excellent engineer often undermine your executive potential.
Invisible Career Killers
Unconscious habits like avoiding eye contact, excessive apologizing, and deflecting credit systematically sabotage your advancement—even when your technical work is flawless.
Generic Career Advice Fails
Most coaching ignores the unique challenges technical professionals face. You need insider knowledge from people who’ve hired at FAANG companies, not generic leadership tips.
Our Empathetic Whole-Brain Approach
Most coaching treats technical professionals like broken machines. We understand you’re optimizing for the wrong variables.
