Coaching in my role is mostly about seeing the person up for promotion and helping them focus on the right stuff for the teams success. Even great senior engineers sometimes lose focus or miss the sentence in s career ladder that doesn’t mesh with what they want to be doing.

I’ve got a senior IC who is always hesitant to reach out to non-engineers, so to coach him I’m constantly asking him to reach out directly. It will improve his impact if he does so.
