Coaching for

Women in Tech

The statistics bear a grim reality for women in tech – close to half of us will leave the field by the time we reach the mid-point of our careers.  Dynamics like hustle culture, hyper-masculine worker biases, unequal pay, mommy penalties, steep paths to advancement, and unfair treatment lead many women to evaluate whether they’ve made the right choice to pursue a career in tech.

Are you one of them?

If the answer is yes...

Before you throw in the towel, know that there are ways for you to succeed as a woman in tech.  As a former divisional CIO for a Fortune 250 company, I have first-hand experiences of the challenges women face in navigating their tech careers.  Whether you want to grow in your current position, find a different job in the field, or leave IT altogether, by working together you will identify the most intentional and empowering career path that fits with your life and career goals, and develop the strategies to implement it.

Areas of focus in my coaching practice include:

Overcoming imposter syndrome, low confidence, and fears with being visible and taking risks

Navigating the gender biases that persist in many tech environments to achieve better parity

Examining professional brands that pigeonhole clients and recasting them into compelling career narratives

Developing the skills and strategies that enable clients to achieve better leadership or career effectiveness, and/or their next career level

Creating strategies and boundaries for better balance between work and personal priorities

Gaining access to the professional networks and high visibility assignments that lead to career growth

“Kim helped me see myself more clearly, which enabled me to work past the obstacles that were holding me back.

I entered the coaching engagement with Kim wanting to gain an ally in navigating my career journey as a woman in tech – someone trustworthy and kind who could see things I was missing and help me course-correct where necessary, as well as gain clarity in defining the path ahead. I’m delighted that working with Kim delivered in all of these areas! I gained the insight that my experiences were not uncommon, and my responses to the obstacles I faced were legitimate. This renewed my confidence in myself.

Kim is a great guide through this complicated terrain.”

“Through our work together, Kim’s insight and diligence helped me find my voice and successfully make my career transition!

Stepping into a new job family, I knew that I needed to translate my value into the language that people in the future job family would understand. Kim not only helped me clearly articulate my value in language that would be easily understood but also helped me gain clarity in how to uniquely position myself as a leader and liaison between my current and future job family. With the new language and strategy to position myself, I was able to step into a new role with confidence and embody my strengths.”

“Working with Kim helped me gain clarity about my career path ahead.

I began working with Kim to better understand the types of positions that are out there for people with my skill set and to reflect on what I might want to do long-term. I previously believed that the way forward was to develop more of my technical skills, but Kim helped me understand that my marketable differentiators are the people and relationship skills I had taken for granted. She encouraged me to focus on my overlapping strengths and values, and I will always refer back to this in everything I do. Kim also challenged my preconceived notions that I need to work in a big company and helped me discover my entrepreneurial spirit. I was fearful of acknowledging this part of me, but now I know I want to leverage this in my work going forward.

But the biggest thing I am leaving with? It’s the knowledge that work doesn’t have to be unpleasant or stressful. I’m confident that using the tools I learned, my next role will be one that actually makes me love going to work each day!”

“Kim helped with everything, giving me so much more than I ever expected!

Kim set the whole framework for our work together, giving me direction and keeping me motivated along the way. She helped me stay focused and, above all, instilled in me the confidence to know I can get out there and do everything I want to do!

On a practical level, Kim was always sending me useful resources and documents. Thanks to her, I also now have an updated resume and LinkedIn profile, which has already led to some fantastic new connections.

With Kim’s help, I’ve realized I’m not over the hill – I can still go out there and make an impact. My age brings with it some amazing skills that I can carry forward into a bright future. I am branching out!”
