Tech leadership coaching
Grow your leadership potential with a practiced thought partner
As a leader you believe you should know the answers. You feel responsibility and ownership to drive work forward. You aim to make perfect decisions but get bogged down by trying to make it perfect, while you keep finding caveats. You might not have clear priorities from stakeholders and thus struggle to communicate clarity to your team. You are unhappy with the status quo and unsure how to make change happen. And with everything that needs to be done, you don’t feel like you are across all the ongoing projects.
We have been through the kinds of problems you are facing and have developed tools, strategies, and methodologies to help you navigate your current challenges.
We work with you to maximise your abilities, and lead your teams and organisation better. With leadership coaching you will become an effective leader, one who elicits involvement from everyone around you.
Our tech leadership coaching is delivered online, allowing for flexibility to meet your personal needs.

Antoine Macia , Technical Director, PHORIA
Blackmill's consulting sessions have been super valuable for us - they're coaches and friends rolled in to one! They've been an honest and empathetic sounding board for our strategy around hiring, culture and operations, and with their help we've made significant improvements in hiring, remuneration and delivery over the last 6 months.
Gavin Ballard, CEO, Disco Labs
I've been working with Elle and Lachlan for the better part of a year as myself and a colleague moved into engineering management positions for the first time. The regular coaching and mentoring was extremely valuable in helping me transition from a focus on technical leadership to being responsible for a larger team's wellbeing, productivity, and career progression. Our company has also seen lots of improvements to our development, hiring, and technical support processes based on Elle and Lachlan's guidance.
Justin King, Software Engineering Manager, Biarri Networks
Managing a development team is hard. Blackmill helped me identify gaps in my knowledge, and work on them to become a better leader. They took the time to learn who I was, and tailored their approach to my existing knowledge, learning style and our company culture. Highly recommended.
