My mission is to help great tech team members become outstanding technical leaders.

Tech teams are filled with smart, motivated, and skilled people. And organizational leaders love taking the cream of the crop and elevating them to leadership roles. But if there is one thing that tech organizations do poorly, it’s preparing great programmers, admins, architects, and engineers to be great leaders.

I should know – it’s what happened to me. And it’s happened to many, many of the people that I’ve worked with and mentored over the years.

I’m Dawn, and I’m here to help you bypass the struggles and hardships that transitioning from being a doer to being a leader can cause.

You don’t need to wait to get the soft skills every great manager has.

It took me a lot of time – and mistakes – to become a respected and even sought-after leader of technical teams, moving from developer to team lead, all the way up to VP. I’ve led nearly every kind of technical team, and I’ve mentored countless individual contributors into leadership positions.

I don’t want you to have to go through the same years of struggle I did to become the most amazing technical leader you can be. Let me help you overcome your doubts, set up systems that work and build trust, and hone your communication skills so that you can have awesome teams that produce amazing and fulfilling work.

Now is your chance to join a tribe of people, just like you, looking to move into management or just become a better leader to their tech teams.
