Welcome to Coaching Technology Group! I’m Tim, Lead Executive Coach and Career Consultant. Our team works with clients across the U.S. who are seeking expert guidance in career transitions. We specialize in four areas:

Career Coaching and Career Transition

Have the changes in the corporate job market impacted you recently? We work with individuals in many lines of work, though we specialize in tech career coaching. The massive reduction in tech roles has triggered a career crisis for many. Some professionals have had the advantage of a career transition coach to help them navigate and get back into the job-seeking game by learning the new norms of job search around resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn presence, interview prep, and even email outreach templates. We are your holistic partners in finding a new position, with years of expertise and thoroughly tested language and approaches that take you from applying to negotiation and ultimately accepting an offer.

You’ll work with me directly with access to a trained Interview Prep coach to help you become an expert storyteller in an interview setting.

If you are currently in a corporate tech role, want to break into tech, or are on a job search, you could use expert support. Our coaching team works with you, the job seeker, in an individualized program to answer all your practical and tactical questions. Since 2017, we’ve helped several hundred job seekers get back to work in careers and jobs that suit them—check out some of my testimonials on LinkedIn to read what real clients have said about their results!

I am 100% committed to helping you land your next position.

What coaching services can you expect?

In addition to being invested in your personal success, you’ll get a resume that recruiters and hiring managers love, mastery over LinkedIn, a profile that attracts views, job search tactics that will save you hours of time (and grief), and interview coaching to ace the face-to-face. Using a Search Engine Optimized (SEO) and language-focused approach can ensure your resume is entirely compatible with corporate applicant tracking systems and increase your odds of being reviewed by a human being. You’ll get my seven-point update to LinkedIn that speaks directly to professional recruiters and genuinely improves traffic to your profile, as well as get one-on-one interview coaching oriented to you and who you are as a person and job seeker.

Individualized Corporate Leadership and Communication Coaching

It can be tough working in corporate environments. Sometimes we find ourselves in leadership positions without much support or training. If this is you, we work together to identify and uncover anything keeping you stuck and discover new ways of being at home and work. We look at ways of relating to others, delivering on our commitments (especially to ourselves), and being with people in a positive, productive, and fulfilling way. This coaching is sometimes exploratory and sometimes includes real-life exercises and practices to try new skills in relating to people.

Getting communication coaching can be transformative at work. Many of the issues we encounter are based on how we relate and use our communication skills. We can always improve our communication skills through practice. We even have a simple guide to “Core Communication,” which is a model for having difficult conversations where the emotions might run high. Learning this communication skill can help managers deliver difficult news, and help workers discuss topics like raises and promotions without creating negative feelings.

Become a powerful professional communicator and team leader.

Effective Remote Management Skills

Struggling with team performance managing a remote workforce? I have coached dozens of managers leading teams from remote locations. Dropping by a team member’s desk to talk things over or see what they are working on is impossible when managing by Slack, email, video, and conference calls. We address the communication and leadership challenges that come with being in the remote manager role. It’s possible to be an effective remote manager by developing useful mindsets and having a clear point of view that starts with you and carries through to your team.

Early-Stage Startup Company Coaching

You early-stage startup probably doesn’t have an HR component beyond compliance and onboarding. To attract top talent, consider offering coaching as a company benefit. We offer a fee-for-service model, so you preserve runway and only pay for coaching delivered to the individuals in the company, billed monthly. We’ve worked with a half-dozen startups working to move from 0-1, improving communication, leadership skills, and accountablity in your company culture.

Working With A Professional Coach To Develop Your Leadership Skills

Having worked with hundreds of clients, it’s clear to me that everyone wants a bit more from life (if we could just figure out how to get it). We want to be more satisfied, have better relationships, have easier conversations, and be clear about our intentions. In our coaching, we look at life through the questions: “What if there is nothing to be fixed? What if your life is exactly what you are committed to it being?”

“How You Are Turning Out Right Now” (the way your life is right now, today) is the sum of everything you are truly committed to, consciously and unconsciously. We work together to listen for, uncover, and get clarity around what you truly care about, as revealed through your actions, choices, and the results that you get.

There is never anything wrong or an action that must be taken – we just find what we find, and you decide if how things are right now works best for you. If something works better, we make a plan around doing that thing, starting when you say you’ll start and doing what you commit to doing.

This approach works well for anyone looking to have a breakthrough in their life. I have used it with clients at major employers at all levels of responsibility, for individuals who are in career transition, both planned and unplanned, and for people who feel “stuck” and don’t know what to do about it.

I am 100% committed to you getting whatever it is you want to have happen.
