New EM coaching: the conversation you desire.

It's 6pm on a Tuesday. You have a 1:1 tomorrow with someone who's underperforming, a skip-level who wants a status update you don't have, and a gut feeling that you were better at your old IC job than you are at this one yet. You're Googling "how to give hard feedback" in an incognito tab because it feels embarrassing to ask anyone at work.

That's the call I want to be on.

Book a 60-minute session and bring the specific thing that's eating you — the hard conversation you're rehearsing, the team dynamic you can't read, the promo packet you don't know how to frame, the exec who keeps pulling rank. We'll work the actual situation, not talk in frameworks. You'll leave with language you can use tomorrow morning.

I've been an engineering manager in aerospace for 20+ years. I currently manage managers at Collins Aerospace on flight-critical software teams — the kind where "move fast and break things" is literally illegal. I've run $200M+ programs with 350+ engineers, mentored dozens of new leaders through their first year, and I've sat on every side of the conversation you're dreading. No pep talks. No hustle. Just a senior operator who will tell you what they'd actually do.
