Hi boss
(yeah, like papaya without the first two letters)
I'm a software engineer and a passionate leader.
These days, I help software engineers go from lacking confidence in people skills and feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities to leading high-performing teams with confidence so that they can become the inspiring leader they always wanted to work for and possibly never had, and get paid for it.
Not only have I successfully trained and mentored numerous leaders throughout my career, but my extensive background in software engineering also means that I'm uniquely equipped to help make your transition to leadership as smooth and effective as possible.
My own leadership journey began when I applied for a software architect position at a company, and was offered a leadership role instead.
So I became an Overnight Boss with no previous experience or training - That's also how the name of the website came about.
In addition to working with a few leadership coaches and gaining experience working with different small and large companies, I've also learned from other leaders, and modern leadership concepts and principles that I incorporate into the guidelines I provide.
I live in Sydney, Australia with my family and I spend a good portion of my time with my daughter helping her stay on the Warrior Kid's path (if you know what I mean).
In addition to being an avid Krav Maga practitioner and a mountain biking enthusiast, I also do weight-training and kayaking.
Music has always been in the background of my life, and improving my electric guitar playing is something I do whenever I can find some spare time.
That's how I keep myself sane.
What do you do to get yourself energised?
