Private coaching for tech folks
Because venting to friends is great, but at some point you need more than “ugh, that sucks”. Clarity, strategy, and tools.
So... How does coaching work?
Coaching is not me telling you what to do.
Annoying, I know.
It’s a structured conversation where we take the mess in your head and make it visible, understandable, and easier to act on.
We look at your experience, patterns, doubts, strengths, constraints, and options – and connect them to real next steps.
Sometimes that means choosing a career direction.
Sometimes it means changing how you see your experience.
Sometimes it means preparing for interviews.
Or making a decision, setting boundaries, stopping yourself from applying randomly because “at least I’m doing something”.
It’s introspective. But also logical, structured, and practical.
No mysticism. No generic motivation. No “just believe in yourself”.

FAQ
Coaching is a structured conversation that helps you think strategically.
Not “positive vibes”.
Not “I’ll tell you what to do”.
Not therapy.
We look at your situation, your patterns, your goals, your blockers, and your actual options. Then we turn that into decisions and next steps.
Nope. And honestly, I don’t think anyone should.
I can help you explore options, challenge assumptions, analyse your experience, research the market, and make a decision that feels grounded.
But the decision is yours. That’s kind of the whole point.
Yes, but not in the “here’s a magic template” way.
We work on your positioning first: what you bring, what role you’re aiming for, and what story makes sense.
Then we build CVs, cover letters, LinkedIn, applications, and interview answers from there.
Unfortunately, no. Government-funded coaching in Germany (AVGS) is generally available only to people who have paid social security contributions in Germany for at least one year and are registered as unemployed through the Jobcenter or Agentur für Arbeit.
If you’re on a job-seeking visa (Chancenkarte), this funding usually doesn’t apply.
No.
Some clients come because they’re actively applying.
Some are still employed but stuck, burned out, bored, underchallenged, or unsure whether to stay, leave, grow, pivot, or finally admit that the current setup is not working.
No.
Coaching can be emotional, because changes are emotional. We are humans.
But coaching is future-oriented and goal-focused. If you’re dealing with mental health struggles, therapy could be a better place for that.
Possibly, yes.
If your company has a learning or development budget, we can frame the coaching around professional growth: leadership, communication, confidence, resilience, career development, public speaking, or decision-making.
