The rubber duck
As your coach?
At The Rubber Duck, we understand that pursuing a career in engineering requires a significant investment of time, energy, and money. That's why we offer a unique career coaching service that specializes in helping you maximize the returns on your investment.
Unlike other generalized career coaching services, our operating model is not focused on supporting a new career choice. Instead, we aim to help you get or stay on track to reach your full potential as an engineer or engineering leader. Our industry experience makes us an effective partner down the path to success you envision in your engineering career.

The Tactics
Empathetic Listening & Observations
The commitment to you is that you will be listened to and observed with empathy to help you find your version of success.
Guided Discussions
Engage in discussions and observations tailored to your opportunities and challenges. Answer questions and walk through your mental model of aspects of your career to gain a better understanding of what is next.
Accountability
Staying on track with goals and keeping them current is critical to progress toward a future we can see. We will track your commitments to yourself from one session to the next.
Targeted Exercises
In addition to our discussions, we'll incorporate targeted exercises at key points to provide valuable insights.
Productive Venting
It's normal to need to express frustration, anger, sadness, disappointment, or other emotions as they run high. As your coach, I'm here to help you make the most of that venting. I'll listen, observe, and then ask questions about your experiences, and together, we will identify the next steps, turning it into a productive session.
Artifacts
From exercises and discussions, we will create plans, action items, and detailed logs to turn into artifacts you can use in your engineering career journey.
