The 1-2-1 Newsletter
The 1-2-1 you stopped getting when you got promoted.
The more senior you get, the less often you have honest, development-focused conversations.
Your manager is busy. Your peers are competing for the same things. Your team looks to you for answers, not questions. The space for someone to sit across from you and say "here's what I'm noticing" quietly disappears.
The 1-2-1 is my attempt to recreate that.
Every two weeks, I share what I'm seeing in my coaching and advisory work: one principle, two things on my mind, one question to sit with. Each edition includes something practical you can use that week.
It's a 2-3 minute read. No fluff, no hype, no "10 tips to transform your leadership." Just the kind of observation I'd share if we were having a real conversation.
What to expect
1 Principle. A single observation from coaching, stated clearly.
2 Things Top of Mind. One from client work, one you'll probably recognise from your own week. Each with a "This week:" action.
1 Question. Something worth sitting with after you close the email.
Who it's for
Senior product and engineering leaders. Heads of Product, Directors, VPs, Engineering leads who want honest perspective without the performance.
If you're navigating pressure, complexity, or the loneliness that comes with seniority, this is for you.
When you join, you'll also get access to The Alignment Reserve, a collection of tools and frameworks from my coaching work.
