Skills for Software Engineers

Hello dear subscribers,

It’s been a quiet few months on this newsletter but I have exciting updates to share today.

Confidence & Leadership Skills for Early-Mid Career Software Engineers:

I ran a 12 week group coaching program for Early-Mid career Software Engineers looking to build their Confidence, Leadership, and Communication skills earlier this year. I’m thrilled to launch this program into the world this August. All the information is at https://www.kolamcoaching.com/confidence-leadership-skills. If you know people that would benefit from this program, I would super appreciate you sharing it.

Yet another website rewrite

Speaking of, my website is new again. This is the third time I’ve rewritten it, and it’s my favorite version so far. I wanted to provide as much information and insight into what coaching is, why it’s helpful, and what working with me is like. Check out the Coaching page - it can be read, or listened to!

Values

One of the motivations in rewriting the site this time came from writing down the values of my brand, and recognizing that I wanted the website to help folks learn about coaching in an accessible way, and make informed choices. Here are them in their current form:

Values aka What can my clients always hold my practice accountable for?

Learning

I take feedback every opportunity I get and seek to learn from it and grow. I’m making continuous efforts in skill building as a coach. I seek to enable learning for my clients through all my work.

Truth

I will be fully transparent about what goes on in my business if I ever have employees. I will be honest with my clients even when it’s hard. I’ll find ways of experimenting and putting myself out there (content, marketing) that feel good and resonate with my own values.

Resilience

Resilience is a core aspect of everything I build in this practice. It’s in asking for help, building community, in experimenting openly, failing openly. I WILL fail, and I will continue. I will work in ways that promote the resilience and care of my own mind and body. I will crisis/safety plan with all my 1:1 clients. I’ll promote resilience in my client’s learning.
