Noah brings to light the intimate struggles of tech leaders, recounting his own journey from confronting demotivated teams and technical debt to harnessing the strength of genuine management.

Unpack the psychological and emotional facets of tech leadership as we traverse the compelling story of Anne, a new CTO thrust into a maelstrom of layoffs and the struggle to stay true to her values. Our discussion breaks down the myths surrounding motivation and reveals how aligning management style with core values can not only relieve stress but also invigorate an entire organization. Noah and I dissect the mental shifts required for leaders to transition from the mindset of an individual contributor to an inspiring manager, and the organizational implications of technical debt that go beyond just the tech team.
Our conversation rounds out with an earnest endorsement of the often-ignored need for coaching in the tech leadership space. Sharing personal revelations, I highlight the profound impact that coaching has had on identifying my own blind spots and combating the isolation felt in leadership roles. We confront the industry's resistance to coaching, championing its potential to cultivate a healthier work culture and bolster mental health. For tech leaders seeking depth and direction, this episode promises insights into why investing in coaching can lead to transformative benefits for both the individual and the organization at large.

What's one sure-fire recipe for disaster when it comes to coaching?
Not being coachable.
This could come from a lack of self-awareness or not being willing to be coached -- but if you're not ready for it, it's going to feel like friction.
In my conversation with Noah Cantor, we walked through the various considerations that come into play when it comes to getting coaching and mentorship.
Noah's framing certainly helped me see how you can try to take all the right steps, but the order and reason behind the steps can REALLY make a difference.
Thanks for the chat, Noah!
