Is this for software engineers or engineering managers?

Both, at every level. My career coaching for software engineers covers promotions to Senior or Staff, interviews, and the move into Tech Lead or management. My engineering manager coaching covers new EMs in their first year and experienced managers stepping up to Senior EM. Every session and sprint is tailored to where you are.

How do I know which sprint to choose?

Use "What's your next step?" above: choose engineer or manager, then pick the goal that sounds most like you. Each one maps to a sprint. Still not sure? Book a single session and we'll work out the right sprint together. That session can count as Session 1.

How do I pay for a sprint?

Session by session. Sessions 1 and 2 are £197 each, and I'll send you a link to book Session 3 for £103, so £497 in total. Any single session can become Session 1, so there's no risk in starting small.

What happens during a session?

Each session is 1 hour on Zoom. I'll ask about your current situation, goals, and challenges. Then we work together on a tailored action plan, and you get written follow-up notes afterwards. For mock interviews, I run a realistic interview scenario and send detailed written feedback.

How many coaching sessions do I need?

It depends on your goals. Many people get value from a single focused session. Others prefer a 3-session sprint for structured problem-solving. For complex situations, the 6-session programme provides extended support. There is no minimum commitment.

What if I need to reschedule?

You can reschedule up to 24 hours before your session at no charge through the Cal.com booking link. If something urgent comes up, reach out and we'll work it out.

Common questions

A single session (£197) is a standalone 1-hour call, great for a specific question, a CV review, a promotion plan, or a single mock interview. A sprint (£497) is a structured 3-session programme over 4–6 weeks with pre-work, between-session deliverables, async support, and tangible artefacts you keep forever. Sprints are designed to solve a specific problem end to end, not just to give advice.

Me, Stephane Moreau. I've spent 15 years in software. As an engineer, I went from software engineer at Nexmo to founding engineer at Voxygen and tech lead at IG. As a manager, I've led teams at Mimecast and Egress, was Senior EM / Head of Engineering at Ably, and today lead AI Banking at Zopa Bank, a UK fintech unicorn. I've hired, coached and promoted dozens of engineers and managers, and I'm an Oxford Saïd and MIT Sloan executive education alumnus. My coaching is grounded in how hiring and promotion decisions actually get made, not theory.

Let's work on what matters most to your career right now

Start with a single session. If you want to keep going, it becomes Session 1 of your sprint.
