I want to thank Marcella, my beautiful & wonderful client whom I deeply love, for being brave enough to relase this session. It’s right after she suddenly lost her dream job. She could have asked me to edit out her tears, and of course I would. Because the primary purpose of these coaching sessions is to help her achieve her dreams. Seeing how she does that, seeing what it takes to have a career & life like hers, so that you can use that to achieve your own dreams, is only the secondary purpose. But instead she gave you a great gift. To show that this is not easy, to prove just how hard it is, even for the superstars among us.This 1:1 coaching session is part of Executive Coaching for CSOs, a scientific executive coaching program that includes individual coaching, corporate strategy, annual planning, weekly feedback, and personalized training videos.

Don’t Answer Your Email
Even when you know what to do & when (which most of us do), it’s hard to do actually do it. We ALL fall into the habit of answering emails in the morning— even those of us who shouldn’t. Especially those of us who shouldn’t. That doesn’t mean we’re wrong, and it doesn’t mean we won’t get what we want— it just means it might take longer. So if, like Marcella, you have a goal achievement method that works, this session is about how to adapt so that it works in your new job.This 1:1 coaching session is part of Executive Coaching for CSOs, a scientific executive coaching program that includes individual coaching, corporate strategy, annual planning, weekly feedback, and personalized training videos.

You Can’t Plan Ahead
Marcella is REALLY good at achieving her goals, but the method she uses to do that isn’t working as well in a start-up as it used to during her postdoc. Not because the method is wrong, or she’s wrong, but because the nature of a start-up is different— your priorities change on a dime. Not just once in a while, but every day. So you can’t plan in advance. And this session is about what to do instead.This 1:1 coaching session is part of Executive Coaching for CSOs, a scientific executive coaching program that includes individual coaching, corporate strategy, annual planning, weekly feedback, and personalized training videos.

I’m Your Boss Now
Marcella’s promotion to Principal means that she’s now the boss of her colleague. A colleague who also applied for that job— but didn’t get it. Because Marcella got it. And if that’s not enough, that colleague just came back from maternity leave & wants to work from home, which is a request that Marcella may not be able to grant— no matter how much she wants to. Being a manager is hard. You have to do a lot of things that you don’t like. And today’s session is about where your responsibility for your direct reports ends— and where theirs begins.This 1:1 coaching session is part of Executive Coaching for CSOs, a scientific executive coaching program that includes individual coaching, corporate strategy, annual planning, weekly feedback, and personalized training videos.

What Do You Want From Me?
Meet Marcella, Principal Scientist of Discovery at a biotech start-up who leads a large cross-functional team. In her first coaching session, Marcella talks about why she wants an executive coach, even though she’s not an executive— yet. We discuss what she needs to succeed in her new job, including how to lead when you can’t lead by example anymore, the level of scientific expertise you need to achieve in all the other research lines in your company, and how to figure out what your new boss wants from you.This 1:1 coaching session is part of Executive Coaching for CSOs, a scientific executive coaching program that includes individual coaching, corporate strategy, annual planning, weekly feedback, and personalized training videos.
