<h1>Getting your first Management role - 1:1 Coaching with Sweatha</h1>
<h4>About me:</h4>
Hi!&nbsp; am currently a Director of Engineering at Truveta working with a mission of saving lives with data. I started my career as a Software Engineer in the Telecom industry and then worked my way up from a junior engineer to an Engineering leader managing managers at Microsoft.&nbsp;
<h4>About this session:</h4>
In my experience mentoring a lot of engineers/PMs, one of the frequently occuring topic is : "I think I deserve to become a People Manager, but I am getting turned down for such opportunities. What should I do?"
When I decided that I wanted to be a people manager, I was turned down with the reason that the system demanded that I needed to be promoted a few more levels before I can become one. I did not believe in that answer. I believed in me and my capabilities. I ended up being a people manager in the very same level before getting those extra promotions the system demanded.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Feel free to setup some time with me and I am happy to talk about your circumstance and help you. Let us break your glass ceiling.&nbsp;

Sweatha has been an incredible resource for me as I navigate the challenging world of tech as a young software engineer.

She is extremely approachable and is fantastic at creating a safe space where I always felt heard and understood. She has a deep understanding of the cultural and interpersonal dynamics that impact the workplace, and she was able to provide me with valuable insights and guidance on how to handle tough situations.
Throughout our mentorship, Sweatha was patient, encouraging, and supportive. She helped me set goals and provided me with actionable steps to achieve them. She also challenged me to think critically and consider different perspectives, which helped me grow both personally and professionally.

I am incredibly grateful for Sweatha’s mentorship and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a software engineer.

Sweatha is an excellent and a sharp leader who can give very actionable feedback. I want to express my gratitude for the invaluable support she has provided for my interview preparation. Looking forward to getting more her guidance and inputs that will help me to reinvent myself.

I am grateful for an insightful and a very helpful 1:1 consultation with Sweatha. As a Senior PM looking to accelerate my career, I found Sweatha's advice on effectively communicating about risks, creating synchrony between design, engineering, and PM team, and strategies for partnering with tech partners was very valuable. I appreciate her recommendations to block out time on my calendar for consistent learning and her advice on creatively resolving customer concerns. I would highly recommend her as a mentor to anyone seeking to advance their Product career and looking to effectively collaborate with Engineering partners.

Sweatha mentored me for a few months. I met Sweatha through a mentoring program and was amazed with her answers in that program. Then I requested that she be my mentor. She helped me grow in my career. She is a wonderful mentor and a great leader. Thank you, Sweatha, for taking time to coach me.
