In this episode, you’ll see what career transformation looks like with Bruno Yoshioka, graduate of the Lifestyle Engineering Blueprint, my intensive coaching program for engineering leaders.
Bruno is currently a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft working on Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based endpoint management solution. He joined Microsoft out of college in 2014 after completing undergraduate degrees in computer science and music performance.
Throughout his 10+ years of working at Microsoft, he has experienced ups and downs from burnout to great success and elation, and found himself at one of those low points in late 2023.
That’s when he silenced the skeptic in his head, and joined a community of like-minded engineering leaders in coaching and training for career growth and lifestyle design.
He’ll share how he changed his mindset from fixed to growth, renewed his energy, created extreme clarity in his purpose and vision, and overall transformed the quality of his work life…
In just ninety days.

In this episode, I dive deep into the practical aspects of leadership with a focus on behaviors over traits.
Everyone aspires to be a great leader, but what does that really entail beyond the buzzwords and theories?
I share a story from a recent conversation with Bill, a senior engineering manager, who's striving to enhance his leadership skills, particularly around building trust and creating psychological safety within his team.
We discuss how easy it is to get caught up in the theoretical aspects of leadership, like the concepts found in leadership books, and overlook the necessity of actionable steps.
Throughout our discussion, I emphasize the importance of transforming leadership aspirations into specific, behavior-based actions that lead to real results.
Join me as we explore how to break down common leadership challenges into tangible actions that can immediately impact your team. So press play and let’s chat about turning theory into action!
