Alex Lee
Leadership coaching for engineers. The skills engineering school didn't teach.
About
I help engineers build the leadership and interpersonal skills that technical training never covered.
I took the long way here. My career started in defense — complex programs, high stakes, no margin for error. When I transitioned to manufacturing, I didn't land in another management role. I stepped back to the frontline, learned a new industry from the ground up, and rebuilt from engineer to supervisor to department manager to director.
That journey taught me something: the hardest part of leading isn't the technical work. It's the human side — giving feedback, reading the room, building relationships, influencing without authority. Nobody teaches you that in engineering school.
Now I coach engineers and technical leaders through those same transitions. My approach is evidence-based, practically applied, and built for how engineers actually think.

What happens on a discovery call?
We talk for 30 minutes about what's challenging you and whether coaching is the right next step. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation.

No. Coaching is forward-looking and action-oriented. We focus on where you want to go and how to get there. If I think you'd benefit from therapy, I'll tell you directly.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes. Many organizations cover professional development. I can provide invoices and documentation for employer reimbursement.
