Coaching: A Game-Changer for Women in Tech?I recently had the privilege of interviewing a brilliant young software engineer who has been on a 1.5-year coaching journey. She shared powerful insights about how coaching has transformed her approach to work, growth, and leadership.Here are five key lessons she learned along the way: Creating space for reflection – In the fast-paced world of tech, taking a step back is a luxury. Coaching gave her an uninterrupted space to process what she had achieved, where she could improve, and what truly matters. Accountability drives progress – Having someone to challenge her thinking and hold her accountable meant she kept moving forward, even when daily pressures could have easily pushed self-improvement aside. Prioritizing reflection – Thinking strategically is important but rarely urgent. Coaching forced her to make time for deep reflection—something we all tend to neglect. Setting proactive goals – Instead of simply reacting to her work environment, she learned the power of setting specific, tangible goals and taking small, intentional steps toward them. The biggest lesson? – She already had many of the answers within her. Coaching didn’t give her a ready-made solution—it helped her face the truth, understand her own potential, and commit to action. Coaching isn’t about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about unlocking potential, accelerating growth, and creating clarity in a world full of noise.If you’re ready to take your career and leadership to the next level, let’s talk.
