1:1 Executive Coaching for Women in Tech Ready for Their Next Level

If you’re delivering results but feel invisible, underestimated, or stuck at the same level, I help you gain strategic visibility, influence, and clarity so you can move forward with confidence.

This is for women in tech who are already strong leaders.

My 1:1 coaching is designed for women in engineering and tech leadership roles who are not beginners.

You may be:

An Engineering Manager, Senior Manager, Tech Lead, or Director
Leading people, projects, and complexity
Trusted by your team but not fully recognized at the senior level

You’re not confused about your capabilities.

You’re frustrated that your impact isn’t translating into influence, scope, or promotion.

If you’re looking for motivation, affirmation, or surface-level confidence coaching, this is not the right fit.

If you want real movement, it is.

This isn’t a confidence issue.

It’s a leadership positioning issue.

Most women I work with have been told some version of:

“Be more strategic”
“Speak up more”
“You’re doing great, just keep going”

But no one explains how to do that at the next level.

At this stage, working harder doesn’t help.

Over-delivering doesn’t help.

Being “easy to work with” doesn’t help.

What does help is learning how to:

Position your work and thinking strategically
Navigate senior conversations with confidence
Influence decisions without forcing yourself forward
Be seen as ready for more — before the promotion conversation even starts

That’s the work we do together.

What we actually work on together

This is not generic coaching. It’s focused, strategic, and grounded in real tech leadership dynamics.

Depending on where you are, our work may include:

Clarifying your leadership direction and next-level role
Building visibility without self-promotion overload
Strengthening executive presence in senior rooms
Navigating difficult stakeholder and manager dynamics
Shifting from execution to influence and decision-making
Preparing for promotion conversations with clarity and confidence

There’s no fixed formula.

The work is tailored to you, your environment, and your goals.

How 1:1 coaching works

This is a high-trust, high-impact 1:1 partnership.

We meet regularly (frequency depends on your needs)
Sessions are focused, practical, and honest
You leave each session with clarity and direction
Between sessions, you apply what we discussed in real situations

I don’t tell you who to be.

I help you become more of who you already are strategically.

What clients experience

Here’s what clients say after shifting from hands-on execution to strategic leadership:

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Limor. She is a great professional who helped me with my challenges in transitioning to a new role in my career. She has helped me to organize my vision as well as my short, long and medium term plans for a new position. She is a strong leader and I recommend her services to anyone who wants to improve their confidence, get in an executive and leadership role. She is an amazing person, very well prepared and very nice to work with.”

Giana Carla RodriguesServices Sales Director

“I had the pleasure of working with Limor as an executive coach. She was an invaluable sounding board, offering practical advice and insights that shaped my concepts. Limor was an active listener with a deep understanding of growth principles, creating a safe environment to explore challenges and opportunities with support, patience, and attentiveness. Her hands-on, actionable coaching style helped me set realistic goals, create plans, and monitor progress. Her probing questions fostered new perspectives on management.”

Yoav LotanHead of Products and Solutions

“I had the pleasure of working with Limor as my executive coach for 10 sessions, and I can confidently say that she is an outstanding coach for women in tech leadership. I highly recommend Limor to any woman in tech leadership who wants to improve her leadership skills and achieve her career goals. She is an exceptional coach and a great mentor, and I am confident that anyone who works with her will benefit immensely.”

Or (Piamenta) Mendels VP of Product & Product Design

“Entrepreneurship is termed as a marathon rather than a sprint. Limor's coaching program helped me locate and manage the right balance of pragmatism and urgency that is required in building and scaling early-stage startups. Importantly, she helped me identify white spaces and blind-spots in my work and management that alone I would not have been able to see. Her deep domain expertise in product and engineering provided me with key insights on how to manage a technical organization as a non-technical founder.”

FAQ

Is this coaching right for me?

This coaching is designed for women in tech leadership roles who are already performing well but feel stuck, invisible, or underestimated at the next level.

If you’re early in your career or looking for step-by-step career guidance, this may not be the right fit.

If you’re navigating influence, visibility, and promotion at a senior level, it likely is.

How is this different from other coaching I’ve tried?

Many of my clients come to me after working with coaches who focused on confidence, mindset, or generic leadership advice.

My work is grounded in real tech leadership experience and focuses on strategic positioning, influence, and decision-making in complex environments.

We work on what’s actually happening in your role, not hypotheticals.

How long do clients usually work with you?

Most clients work with me for several months.

The exact length depends on your goals, context, and pace of change.

We’ll discuss what makes sense for you during the Promotion Strategy Call.

Do you work with managers, directors, or VPs?

I primarily work with Engineering Managers, Senior Managers, Tech Leads, and Director-level leaders.

Occasionally, I also work with VPs navigating transitions or increased scope and startup founders.

What happens on the Promotion Strategy Call?

This is a focused 30-minute conversation to understand where you are, what’s holding you back, and what needs to shift to move forward.

There’s no obligation.

It’s a clarity conversation, not a sales pitch.
