Coaching

I sought coaching to better align our team goals with business strategy while learning to delegate more effectively. Through our sessions, we developed a practical framework for delegating via "feature owners," which shifted my focus from being overly hands-on to empowering engineers to act as product engineers for specific initiatives. I am now eager to refine this approach and witness its impact on my team's autonomy. My primary takeaways include the power of ownership-based delegation, the importance of supporting engineers as they shape their careers, and the ability to scale myself by prioritizing clarity over control. I highly recommend Andre and PeopleStorming for their practical, direct approach that allows for the immediate application of new frameworks after every session.

After only a handful of sessions I have been able to add a ton of tools to my proverbial toolbox for how to be a better leader and teammate at my studio. Being able to discuss specific scenarios with someone like Andre who has had experience with so many different situations on many types of teams has helped me gain a lot of insight and perspective that I wouldn't have been able to get on my own. Learning about the different philosophies of good teams is fascinating, and I find myself relaying the information I get from sessions to my colleagues at work because I am eager to share the benefits they bring.

Working with my coach was an impressive experience that provided immediate value from the very first conversation. It was clear that Andre's background in tech meant we could jump right into the problems I was facing. We were able to evolve my thinking right away, making the investment more flexible and affordable than I imagined. My favorite thing is the way he pushes you to think differently, helping you see the problem from a new angle or addressing a higher-level need. He is super sharp and can quickly add value by pulling from his extensive management and professional experience and a toolbox full of frameworks and exercises. In the end, you are in the driver's seat, but he is expertly helping to navigate.

I was looking for ways to excel in my leadership role and better support my team. The coaching sessions have been like a lighthouse guiding me through the darkness. Before, I lacked confidence and often questioned my decisions, but after a few months of coaching, I now have the clarity and confidence to lead my team effectively. The coaching is highly personalised and has helped me navigate daily challenges, from managing my time and prioritising tasks to building team structures and hiring new staff. Andre's insights consistently inspire me, and I always leave our meetings with a clear sense of what to do next. The support I receive gives me the confidence to face any obstacle. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the game industry who wants to become a more skillful leader and experience rapid professional growth.
