Using The Five Essential Foundations for Advancing Software Engineers
My Approach to Coaching
I listen deeply and ask questions to understand the driving forces behind your reasoning and goals. Together, we create a highly personalized plan for you. Though sustained execution, I hold you accountable to your plan.
This iterative loop enables you to advance and make a lasting change toward a better you!
Listening and asking questions
Describing our challenges out loud enables us to articulate our thoughts clearly and logically.
You move beyond internal mental loops and see the problem from a new perspective.
I listen to your goals and ask insightful questions to deepen your understanding and lead you to fresh insights and solutions.
Creating a personalized plan
Fresh insights and new solutions reveal gaps in our skills and mindset.
These are the opportunity areas we work on to put your fresh insights into actions that yield positive results.

Accountability to Your Plan

About Me
Hi! I am Shine Garg, a former Staff Software Engineer turned Coach for Software Engineers.
Over my 16-year career, I accumulated many fond memories and achievements, but I also faced challenges without a steady mentor to guide me. I often wondered how much further I could have gone with continuous guidance!
Engineering career ladders often lack clear paths for skill development, and managers or one-off mentors do not have the time or proximity to provide adequate support at key career junctures.
So, I decided to be that coach for others through my new venture, Uncharted Path Breakthroughs, dedicated to helping software engineers and adjacent professionals who are feeling stuck in their careers.
My coaching helps you pursue a promotion, land a new job or transition to a more suitable role. The skills that you will develop with me will enable you to advance well beyond our coaching engagement.
Additionally, I partner with tech companies to retain and grow their talent through my coaching. This model has an impressive ROI, given the staggering cost of up to $200,000 to replace a single engineer!
