Mentors from top companies

Sound Familiar?

You're not alone. And you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

No One Teaches You How to Lead

You got promoted because you were a great engineer. But management is a completely different skill set and nobody gave you a manual. You are figuring it out by trial and error.

Struggling with Difficult Conversations

Giving tough feedback, managing underperformers, navigating layoffs, handling conflict. These conversations are uncomfortable and high-stakes. One wrong move damages trust.

Losing Touch with Technical Work

Your calendar is wall-to-wall meetings. You miss coding. You are not sure if you are adding value anymore or just attending status updates.

Learn From Engineers at Top Companies

Your next mentor could be a senior engineer at Google, a tech lead at Meta, or a principal at Amazon.

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know about Leadership Development

What leadership levels do you support?
We have mentors for every level of engineering leadership: first-time managers, experienced engineering managers, directors, VPs, and CTOs. We also help ICs who are considering the management track.
How is this different from executive coaching?
Traditional executive coaches often lack deep technical leadership experience. Our mentors are active or recent engineering leaders who understand the unique challenges of managing engineers, navigating technical organizations, and balancing technical and people work.
Can this help me decide between IC and management tracks?
Absolutely. Many of our mentors have experience on both tracks and can help you evaluate the trade-offs based on your personality, goals, and current situation. This is one of the most common topics we discuss.
How often should I meet with a leadership mentor?
For ongoing development, monthly sessions work well. For specific challenges like handling a difficult team situation or preparing for a leadership interview, even a single session can be incredibly valuable.
