The Career Skills Your First Job Demands Start With One Thing: Knowing Yourself


At Sloan Coaching & Consulting, I help early-career professionals and students build the emotional intelligence they need to lead themselves — before the pressure of the real world demands it. My approach combines Agile leadership experience from the Fortune 500 with practical EQ frameworks rooted in self-awareness and self-mastery. I hold a Master of Business Leadership & Innovation and am a certified Scrum Master — but what drives my coaching isn't credentials. It's the belief that the most important career skill nobody teaches you is knowing yourself

Using four research-backed tools — Working Genius, 16 Personalities, Positive Intelligence (PQ), and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Instrument — we build a complete picture of how you think, how you work, how you handle conflict, and how you show up under pressure.
Then we integrate it. Because taking assessments doesn’t change anything. Understanding how your patterns interact — where you’re overusing a strength, what saboteur is running the show, how your conflict style is landing on others — that’s what changes things.
This program is built for early-career professionals and students who are smart, driven, and tired of reacting instead of leading. Over six weeks, we work through the emotional intelligence skills that actually move the needle — self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, and the clarity to know where you’re going.
This isn’t motivation content. It’s a structured, evidence-based program built on EQ research, neuroscience, and real frameworks from a Scrum Master and Agile leader who’s used these tools to coach high-performing teams at a Fortune 500 company — and now uses them to coach you.
