#TheNinjaCast Podcast 8 a coach and a mentor from New York, US @Doug Howard.

Doug helps engineers to transform into confident leaders who influence, motivate, and inspire their teams to maximize organizational impact.

A successful mentorship relationship Doug thinks can benefit both the mentor and the mentee.

Some organizations have formal mentorship programs in place that pair employees with mentors based on specific criteria such as department or skill set. But ‘one-size fits all’ doesn’t exist. Everyone learns from his or her set of experiences.

Listen to this podcast where Doug shares the basics of resume building and how to prepare for interviews etc.

About Doug

Doug helps engineering leaders increase their impact by showing them how to influence, motivate, and inspire all types of people in any situation - professionally and personally

In 2013 at the age of 28, he was promoted to engineering manager of a 5-person team. By 2021, I transformed it into a 40-person industry-leading department. Traditional leadership training programs tell you WHAT to do in specific situations and assume you’re naturally outgoing and people-oriented - but this doesn’t work for engineers.

He was surrounded by bad managers and saw the negative impact they had on people’s confidence, career, growth, and self-esteem. He didn’t want to be that type of leader - but without any positive role models to learn from, he had to figure it out on his own.

Doug read countless books and signed up for a few courses on leadership, but the “one size fits all” style of training didn’t work for his logical brain.
