Benefits to Technical  Experts and Leaders

A technical career path requires brilliant analytical skills, quality work and innovative ideas. There is a focus on 'doing' rather than talking.

Technical leaders are good at what they do, and they're chosen to lead because of technical skills balanced with their ability to communicate and glue a technical team to produce  a  quality product/service (or many!)

Leadership training in your organisation may help you balance your workload between your leadership role and technical work, so you can remain effective in both.  Mentoring may also be available in-house, though you probably feel that you have to do a lot of mentoring of your team members!

Shirley believes that for some people, having an independent sounding board is invaluable, so that a view outside the normal environment can be appreciated. (e.g. What is  it you really really want, versus what the company wants?)  This can be true for

 business owners

 project managers, technical leaders/managers

 those with high levels of responsibility e.g. lecturers

 those working outside an office-based environment

Focussing on You will work for you, helping you make decisions for yourself, to help you grow.
