When you're ready, here are three ways I can help you build your engineering career:

1. Engineering Career Accelerator Scorecard … foundational development actions and key points you can check, score, and apply immediately to stand out and excel at work.

2. Join us at Happy Hour … a limited-attendance LIVE monthly workshop where we dig deep into career growth strategies and provide 1:1 open coaching for you at the end of the session.

3. Work with me directly … start with a free chat and ensure it's a great fit, then work with me and my team privately in our intensive coaching program, exclusively for engineers.

============================

You don't need more networking events. You need a sponsor. Do you know the difference?

In this episode, I break down the #1 reason why most engineering leaders struggle to find great mentors—and how to fix it. If you've ever felt unsure about who to ask, how to build that relationship, or whether you even need a mentor, you're not alone. I walk you through a simple, three-level framework that takes you from getting advice to securing a sponsor—someone who will actually go to bat for you when it matters most.

Plus, we take a page from Tony Robbins' playbook on how he built a world-class network of mentors to fast-track his success. I'll share practical strategies you can use right now to expand your circle, make the right asks, and unlock career-changing relationships.

If you're tired of waiting for growth to happen and ready to take control of your future, this episode is for you.

So press play and let's chat… about the mentors who will change your career.
