A course for technical leaders

Become an Emotionally Intelligent Technical Leader

Even if you Weren't Born with It, You can learn it!

MOST new leaders in Tech & Science aren't equipped for people leadership

You're a technical expert but now you're leading people...

Help is Here

I have been coaching emerging leaders in STEM fields for ten years. One of common pain points for my clients is moving from an individual contributor role to a management role. As an individual contributor, my clients were at the top of their game. They were the resident experts. Then, either by choice or by being 'voluntold', they are now managing people.

Leading others is a whole different game. Although you were selected for this position because of your superior technical skills, you're now being required to exercise a different set of muscles.

And, oh wow, people are complicated! A one-size-fits-all approach will not work.

I designed this course to support leaders like you in building one of the most important leadership skills - emotional intelligence.

The great thing about it is that leaders are not born, they are made. So, with practice and trying out some new ways of communicating and interacting with others, you will gain these key leadership skills as well.

People are complicated. Leaders not only need to be equipped with expertise and knowledge but have to bring their people along too.

New tech leaders have generally not exercised their people skills as much as their technical skills. It can be intimidating to feel responsible for others and their success.

The great news is that all of it can be learned. There's no magic here, no special EQ gene.

Although it may not feel totally natural at first, by practicing a few very easy behaviors, you will continue to get more comfortable.

Emotional intelligence is a key skill for leaders. Leaders are the primary driver of how employees' feel about their work and how engaged they are. 70 percent of employee engagement scores is attributed to their leaders.

Let me show you a way to get started.
