Management coach
I would not be where I am in my engineering management career today without Yaniv’s guidance, mentorship and support. As someone new to people management, he was instrumental in advancing my knowledge to be the best manager possible. Yaniv introduced me to numerous resources and embodied the spirit of radical candor, as both his constructive criticism and his supportive words pushed me forward in my career. I very strongly recommend Yaniv as a coach.
Product Manager – career coach
Yaniv coached me into my first product role. He helped me make this career change and planted both the self-confidence and humbleness needed to be successful in tech. Almost 3 years later I’m still happily working in tech, as a senior platform product manager.
An exceptional coach
Yaniv was instrumental in helping me build my confidence, especially in managing upwards and navigating situations with ill-defined roles or very busy line managers. His constructive challenges provided me with an invaluable sparring partner for the various challenges I face in my role. Reflecting back, I only wish I had started working with Yaniv sooner.
Over-communication is better
One of the most critical things I have learned from Yaniv is to communicate more efficiently with my stakeholders. Especially how important over-communication is.
A Startling 98% Of Managers Feel Managers Need More Training – “87% of middle managers wish they had received more management training when they first became a manager”
Ample surveys and research that very few managers receive any training.
Employees usually leave managers, not companies. How can you instead be the reason for talent to join, stay and grow?
The answer to these questions is not the mystery intuition that some unique managers have.
It is teachable and replicable!
Every week that passes with a manager’s ineffective or even damaging behavior is a waste.
We already know that there is no silver bullet, but what you can do, is invest in management skills, which will place you above so many other managers who do not.
Rather than investing months in reading or applying advice from the internet, often based on anecdotes and very specific experience, I have compiled actionable guidance based on decades of research, which I deliver in 1:1 or group sessions, to optimize value for the time invested.
