For Immediate Release

Techie Leaders Get Assistance

SAN JOSE, CA: Through her free weekly leadership teleforum, Beyond the CubicleTM,
and innovative programs like the upcoming Techies on the RiseTM (starting May 16,
2007), Yvonne T. Ryan - the Techie Leadership Coach - is contributing to better
leadership in the technical community of Silicon Valley and beyond.

Yvonne Ryan, a 30-year veteran of technical management, firmly believes technical
professionals (techies) can both survive and thrive in the often foreign landscape
outside their cubicles and laboratories. "Some people are born to be leaders, but
most leaders develop their skills through necessity," says Ryan. "I give techie
leaders - especially team leaders and middle managers - a short-cut toward
developing the communication, project management, and people skills they didn't have
the opportunity to learn along with their technical and scientific training."

"Yvonne is very approachable. Her objectivity and her ability to understand my
viewpoint as well as the bigger picture (including possible long-term ramifications)
helped me avoid potential pitfalls and identify specific actions that have helped me
stay the course and be open to results," remarks Sarveta Jadhav, a Silicon Valley
high-tech manager. "Yvonne is articulate, professional, and experienced - you can
trust her. She has traveled the path of technical management many times, an extra
edge which she, in turn, shares with her clients."

Explaining her quick signup for Techies on the RiseTM, Julia Zhang of Pleasanton, CA
said, \"As a new manager, I initially consulted Yvonne to help me start off with
confidence. Her coaching provided me with the insights I needed to clarify my role,
and to interact effectively with my team and the other managers. When I heard Yvonne
was offering Techies on the Rise, I was quick to register because I know the value
of what Yvonne has to offer and I want more. Discussing issues with other technical
leaders was also a big draw.\"
