Case study
Mentoring engineers into management
Coaching engineers at different levels of seniority, and first-time engineering manager, on both their careers and their skills.
Context
Growing people has been part of every role I’ve had, from mentoring interns early in my career to managing engineering teams today.
Challenge
The jump from engineer to manager is one of the hardest in tech, and many people make it with very little support.
Approach
- Coached engineers at different levels of seniority on their careers and on growing their skills.
- Coached first time engineering managers.
- Earlier in my career, mentored interns and helped onboard new colleagues.
Outcome
Career growth to the next level.
What I learned
Good mentoring is about the person, not the role. Many of the lessons I share are ones I learned the hard way.
