PUBLIC SPEAKING INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PACKAGES
Communicate with clarity and confidence. Own the room. I offer two options to master your public speaking skills and conquer your upcoming tech talks through one-on-one sessions with me or group sessions.
- Polish your story for clarity, impact, and audience engagement by removing (“um”, “uh”, “like”, “and so”, etc) from your speeches, creating a story arc, bringing in visualizations, and more
- Fast track to public speaking opportunities, including identifying target audience, refining proposals and abstract, recommending conference organizers
- Hyper-detailed feedback for slide deck narrative, design, content
- Forum for dry runs with a friendly audience of experienced public speakers
MANAGEMENT TRANSITION
Stepping into the engineering manager role is challenging and benefits from the support of an experienced manager. As a manager of 5 years at Airbnb for multiple teams and through multiple reorgs, I deeply empathize with your situation. Some examples of what we can work on together in one-on-one coaching:
- Delegating previous Tech Lead or IC work
- Managing up and advocating for yourself & your team to leadership
- Navigating difficult relationships with reports, cross-functional peers, leaders
- Reducing burn out as often you are doing more than 100% during role transitions
Frequently asked questions
Who are your target clients?
I primarily work with underrepresented individuals in tech, including those facing challenges like self-doubt and imposter syndrome. My goal is to support anyone looking to enhance their career in technical fields.
What coaching experience do you have with your target clients?
I’ve worked as a mentor and coach in the nonprofit for underprivileged students as well as my own practice focused on women/non-binary in STEM since 2016. My software engineer clients thrive at companies such as OpenAI, Figma, Vercel, Lattice, Lockheed Martin, Airbnb, Bank of America, BBC or go to school at UC Berkeley, Columbia, or UT Austin. My clients mostly live in North America and Europe.
As a conference speaker, I’ve connected with diverse audiences in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. As the VP of our women in Tech ERG at Airbnb, I ran the Leadership & Development committee.
Everyone is experiencing a unique journey and career and I’d love to support you on yours!
What is the difference between coaching, mentorship, and consulting?
Coaching focuses on helping individuals discover their own solutions and maximize their potential, often through questioning and guidance. Mentoring provides expertise, guidance, and support from someone with experience, often for longer-term career development. Consulting involves a specialist who analyzes a problem, proposes solutions, and may even implement them, often for a specific issue or project. I provide a blend of coaching and mentoring.
What to expect from an intro call?
After sharing a bit more about our backgrounds and the logistics of my coaching practice, we’ll dive into a topic of your choice so you get a taste of what my coaching is like.
How soon until I see results?
Coaching and mentorship are long-term relationships. I suggest investing at least 4-6 sessions for you to have enough time to take what we discuss and practice it in your own career and life.
