Software Development Professionals: Design and Create the Life You Want

Does any of the following sound familiar?

Do you enjoy programming but are bored or frustrated with your current project?

Are you on a 'deathmarch' project, and can see no end in sight?

Are you are working long hours, and want to get a better work-life balance?

Do you no longer find software development satisfying, but do not know what you want to do with your life?

Do you have conflicts or communication problems with other team members or management?

Do you want to improve your team's software development practices, but do not know how to start?

Does your project have unrealistic schedules and deadlines imposed on it from above?

Are you dissatisfied with some aspect of your life, but not knowing precisely what you want instead?

When you have known what you wanted, have you ever been stuck not knowing how to achieve it, or failed to take the necessary action?

Are you being held back from getting what you want by negative beliefs such as 'I don't deserve it', 'I must not ask for what I want', or 'I'm not good enough'?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then The Developers' Coach can help create the life that you want to live.

Here is what past clients have said about Dave Kirby's coaching

"I wholeheartedly recommend the coaching services offered by Dave Kirby... The experience has been an extremely rewarding one, having a tremendous positive impact on my personal and professional life. Dave has been key in assisting me to re evaluate my current situation and to banish the everyday gremlins that have hampered my efforts to succeed and sapped my energy in the past. After a stagnant period in my present employment and a rather baron spell in terms personal development, our sessions have turbo charged my motivation and I now have the direction I had sought."
- Phil Brown, London

"I am writing to give my absolute recommendation for Dave Kirby as an NLP coach. I have been coached by Dave for the past three months, and found him to be a skillful encourager of change and insight.

Dave himself is insightful and clear. Although telephone coaching is a role in which the coach might easily become remote, he remains actively involved and connected. He manages the right balance between being receptive and listening, on the one hand, and intervening more actively, on the other, to help the person being coached think in new ways.

I believe Dave's particular gift is his understanding of the levels of change and the ways in which people have to come to their own conclusions in order to make those changes. By asking the right questions he is able to compel, in a quiet and quite gentle way, the person being coached to see their situation in an entirely new light. He is talented in the art of helping people to manage change.

I started out being coached with a slightly doubtful view of coaching. However, Dave has managed to convince me entirely of its usefulness and the value of his insights."
- Sarah Stewart, London

What services are available, and what does it cost?

The Developers' Coach offers a range of coaching services so that you can select the level of coaching that suits your needs. The coaching is done by phone and email, and is available worldwide. Each service has two price levels: the personal price is for individuals who are paying for their own coaching. The company price is for companies and organisations that are purchasing coaching for their employees.

Groups coaching is a new service from The Developers' Coach, and is ideal for individuals on a tight budget. Coaching is done on a telephone bridge line with groups of up to eight people. Although you do not get the same depth of coaching as you would in a one to one session, you will benefit from the support of the entire group, many of whom will have the same issues and objectives as yourself. If you would like to be notified of new groups starting, then email groups@thedeveloperscoach.com and state your preferred time (including timezone).

To find out more about any of the above services, email coaching@thedeveloperscoach.com and arrange a free consultation.
