Coaching for staff engineers and engineering managers who are ready to operate at the executive level — with clarity, influence, and conviction.
1:1 Coaching Session
About Mica
Most engineers are exceptional at solving technical problems. But the jump to staff engineer or engineering manager isn't about writing better code — it's about thinking differently, communicating with impact, and leading through ambiguity.
I coach engineers and leaders who are ready to close that gap. Together we work on the skills that don't show up in tech interviews: executive-level thinking, cross-functional influence, and strategic clarity.
Whether you're a staff engineer trying to shape org direction, an EM who wants to earn a seat at the table, or an ambitious IC aiming for the next level — I'll help you build the mental models and leadership presence to get there.
Sessions are 1:1, focused, and immediately actionable. No fluff. No generic career advice. Just clear thinking and the frameworks that actually move the needle.
What we work on
Learn how decisions are made above your level. Develop the mental models to think in systems, tradeoffs, and org-wide impact — not just your team's scope.
Get alignment on your ideas across functions, earn trust with senior stakeholders, and drive outcomes without relying on positional power.
Map the path to staff+ or management with clarity. Understand what's really evaluated at each level, and build a deliberate plan to get promoted.
What clients say
"Mica helped me reframe how I showed up in design reviews. I stopped arguing for my technical opinion and started shaping the conversation. I got promoted to Staff three months later."
"I came in thinking I needed to be a better manager. Mica helped me see I needed to think like an executive first. That shift changed everything about how my team and leadership see me."
