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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your packages?

Engineer to Leader Transformation (8 sessions) is the full program for lasting change over 4 months. Not sure which is right? Book a free discovery call. 
Do I need to be an engineer?
 Most of my clients are engineers or technical professionals, but I work with anyone in a technical environment navigating leadership challenges. If you're analytical, evidence-driven, and skeptical of fluff — we'll work well together. 
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. 
Is this therapy?
 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.
