Each session is tailored to your specific needs and goals. At the time of booking, you provide me with a brief of your situation and supporting artifacts (e.g. profile, resume) which I pre-read. During the session, we start with an open conversation about your objectives, what success looks like for you, challenges, and key areas for development. We then discuss practical, actionable steps that you can implement for you to take away. I document the session and send you a follow-up shortly thereafter.

What sets my mentorship program apart is the unique combination of personal experience, passion for development, and tailored guidance. As a Director of Technology at Amazon and a global tech executive with over 20 years under my belt, I've faced and overcome the very career challenges you might be grappling with. I've ascended the ranks, managing and mentoring hundreds of professionals across a wide range of job functions. This includes individual contributors and managers alike, each with their unique set of challenges and aspirations. Whether it's propelling you to the next level, facilitating a smooth role transition, or fostering leadership skills, my objective is to utilize my experiences to empower you on your journey. As an Amazon 'Bar Raiser,' I've had the privilege of reviewing thousands of resumes and making hundreds of hiring decisions, which has granted me deep insights into what sets a candidate apart. I leverage this knowledge in our sessions, providing you with the tools to enhance your professional profile and marketability. My diverse, global perspective, having worked across three continents and managed teams around the globe, adds another dimension to my mentorship. In an increasingly global workforce, understanding and leveraging diversity is paramount. I can help you navigate these cultural nuances, enriching your leadership skills and fast-tracking your career progression. Lastly, my commitment to continual learning enhances the value I can offer you. Having devoured over 750+ non-fiction books spanning business, leadership, and personal development, I bring a wealth of knowledge from these diverse sources to our sessions. I'm ready to share the best practices, insights, and lessons from these reads to further enrich your career growth.

Through my mentorship, you can expect to gain not only a clear vision for your career path but also the knowledge and confidence to tackle professional challenges head-on. We'll focus on leveraging your unique strengths and devising actionable strategies to propel your career growth and leadership development.

Our first engagement is essentially a 'discovery session', serving as a platform to explore your career aspirations, objectives, and hurdles. You don't have to prepare any specific materials; however, I encourage you to reflect on your goals and what you'd like to achieve through our mentorship. If you have any documents, such as a resume or profile, that you believe could enhance our discussion and would like me to review in advance, please feel free to share them prior to our session. This can streamline our conversation and ensure we make the most of our time together.

My most direct experience is with technical job families (in and around software delivery - including product, program, software engineering, security, tech pre-sales, support and others) within the tech, retail, financial, telecom and energy industries.
