1:1 Mentorship

Most managers don't need a framework. They need help with one specific person.

The report who's checked out. The peer who overrides you in meetings. The conversation you've rehearsed four times and still haven't had. The promotion you're not sure how to argue for — or how to tell someone they're not getting.

Bring one of those and we'll work on it properly. What you'd actually say, what they're likely to say back, and what you do at the point where it gets uncomfortable.

I'm a Head of Digital and People. I've built the competency frameworks and run the grade review processes that decide how engineers get promoted, and I've trained managers inside engineering organisations for seven years. So I can tell you both how to have the conversation and how the decision behind it gets made when you're not in the room.

Come with something specific. If you arrive with "I want to be a better leader," we'll spend the first twenty minutes finding the real question — which works, but is a slower use of your hour.
