Individual strategic 1-on-1 consultations

I offer one-off or periodic strategic consultations for engineers, tech leads, and people working in tech.

This is about getting an external, strategic peer perspective on your projects, relationships, or goals. The things that are easy to lose sight of in the daily whirlwind. Trying to find a way that is meaningful and beneficial both to the organisation and to you.

Example topic areas

• shifting from effort to outcomes
• breaking convention to deliver results more efficiently
• cultivating business- and product-oriented engineering
• getting clarity, and alignment in complex projects
• spearheading projects full of risks and unknowns
• navigating promotions, negotiations, and internal politics
• tackling burnout, overload, and loss of agency
• exploring tensions and wishes

Conversations with Marcel had a huge influence on how I now think about my work. As a person who loves coding, it is easy for me to get caught up in the fun of writing neat code. Marcel really opened my eyes to the world outside of that bubble: the customers who are impacted by engineering decisions, the metrics that we are trying to impact, and how to spend engineering time wisely to maximize real-world impact. I feel super lucky to have worked with Marcel and will take what I learned from him to my new team and beyond.
