Why Coaching?

There are two major points in everyone's life when they need coaching but do not yet realize it: before their career and in the middle of their career.

When you are just starting out, it is difficult to know what sort of job within the tech industry you will want or can get. After all, there are so many types of jobs within the tech industry, it's like saying you want to start a medicine career!

On the other hand, when you have been in the industry for awhile, you will start to feel like change is necessary. But change is scary and you aren't sure where you can get objective, unbiased advice.

Mentoring vs Coaching vs Training

Between mentoring and coaching, both terms basically mean the same thing where the only difference is time. Mentoring is for longer periods of time than coaching. However they both share the same goal, to help you improve what you are already good at.

This is different than training, which allows you to learn something new. This can be accomplished through reading, taking courses, or rolling up your sleeves and diving into a real problem. However, this type of training is not what JustPlainSimple provides. We can point you in the right direction and expose you to new ideas, but the next step of teaching and training yourself is up to you. We know you can do it!

How it works

We understand that you are busy. Our 1-hour sessions occur over video conferencing applications like Zoom at a time that we both agree is most conducive for thoughtful discussions. The sessions begin by reviewing some information about yourself and your current state in life and work. Then we work together to find out about your passions and intended direction, then work toward that goal.

These sessions are led mostly by you, at the pace that you feel is comfortable. Once you feel you are ready to take flight and go on your own in your new tech endeavours, we end our sessions. We will still be cheering for you and would love to hear how you are doing, but we know that you will do great in whatever you direction you choose to take.
