In this episode, get the one key that unlocked the best performance review of Curtis Mitchell’s career.
It’s not what you think it is, either.
Curtis Mitchell is a graduate of The Lifestyle Engineering Blueprint™️ coaching program for engineering managers. He has over 15 years of experience in data science and software engineering roles.
He was told his performance was below average, and unacceptable, by his leaders at various Silicon Valley startups.
When he finally landed a role at NASA's Ames Research Center, a dream job for the 12-year old inside, he knew he had to turn that around.
That’s when he hired a coach, changed his mindset, took new actions… and received the best performance review of his career.
Curtis is currently working on AI and privacy engineering programs with the United States Census Bureau as an emerging technology fellow, and now lives in San Francisco, California.
So press play and let’s chat… it’s time to unlock your future growth with one simple strategy!

In this episode, I dive into the challenges of performance reviews and how to shift your approach to accelerate your next promotion.
I share a story about Daniel, an engineering leader who felt stuck in his career, frustrated by seeing his peers get promoted while he remained in the same role. The key insight? It’s not about constantly asking what gaps you need to close—it’s about demonstrating that you’re already performing at the next level.
By shifting the conversation with leadership from "what's missing" to "what more can I contribute at the next level," Daniel unlocked new growth in his career. I’ll walk you through how to make this same shift.

In this episode, I share my journey of leveraging mentorship to pivot from engineering to business leadership. I discuss the critical importance of having world-class mentors and how their guidance opened doors I never thought possible.
You'll learn about the three biggest mistakes mentees make: not having world-class mentors, not meeting with them regularly, and not asking for what you really want.
Through my own experiences and the lessons I've learned, I provide practical advice on avoiding these pitfalls and maximizing the benefits of mentorship.
So press play and let’s chat about how to elevate your career through powerful mentorship!
