Whether you’re a seasoned CTO or someone new to leading in a software engineering team, the role of an engineering leader in the ever-changing environment of a start-up or scale-up is complex.

Working with a coach is pragmatic and effective way to get support to successfuly navigate this complexity.

I support talented engineering leaders by providing:

• 1-1 Coaching for CTOs

  1-1 coaching is a powerful way to invest in talented CTOs and senior engineering leaders and support them to accelerate their development, navigate change successfully, and have much greater impact.

• Group Coaching for Engineering Leaders

  Group coaching is an excellent way to provide ongoing support to CTOs and senior engineering leaders. It increases their resilience and gives them a network of talented leaders to draw upon and helps them tackle the complex challenges that they encounter in their roles.

• Workshops for leaders and teams

  Structured courses and workshops to build leadership skills and support leaders and teams to work much more effectively together.

What people say about working with me

• 

  As a first-time CTO at a growing tech-startup, Joel’s coaching has been instrumental in helping me step up to my new leadership role and to work through some of the most challenging aspects of scaling a company. After only a few months, I have seen really positive results. I couldn’t recommend his coaching any higher!

• 

  Joel has an impressive ability to create a safe space and calmly discuss a range of topics and to provide useful input. His coaching would benefit anyone who is going through a difficult and stressful challenge in engineering leadership.

• 

  Joel was the founding CTO and subsequently COO of FutureLearn from launch and laid the foundations for its successful fundraise at a valuation of £100m in 2019. He is not only a clear expert in his technical field but also one of the best managers and leaders I have had the privilege of working with.

  The high-performance, supportive culture that we built at FutureLearn was heavily influenced by Joel’s leadership instincts and expertise. I strongly endorse Joel as an outstanding CTO and extremely valuable all-rounder in a start-up/scale-up company.
