What Sets us Apart in Developing STEM Professionals?

About T Shaped

 



What is "T Shaped"?

The concept of "T Shaped" ideally represents STEM professionals.

Imagine the structure of the letter 'T'.

The vertical bar of the 'T' symbolizes deep, specialized knowledge in a STEM field, while the horizontal bar represents the wealth of cross-disciplinary, transferable skills, competencies, and behaviors that STEM professionals have to offer when working across disciplines and sectors. It is those transferable skills that really make a difference in professional setting and career development.

The problem is that often times, transferable skills are not recognized and their development neglected.

That's why we are here to unlock, nurture, and amplify them for both professional development and team dynamics.

What T Shaped Clients Say:

  • T Shaped LLC

    Joanna is a leading professional in the field of coaching. Her focus on developing T-shaped individuals solves a key issue in the food system where too often there is a disconnect between the science & engineering, and how to achieve transformation towards sustainability across the siloes in the system. Joanna’s approach ensures that we equip more bright minds with the skills and mindsets to drive change rooted in science and engineering.

    EIT Food Director of Education

  • T Shaped LLC

    "The impact of Joanna's coaching sessions on my career was tremendous. When I signed up for coaching with Joanna, I was at a crossroads in my career, not happy where I am but at the same time not brave enough to take a leap of faith and move toward direction I really wanted to. Joanna was an immense support for me through that process, firstly by helping me being honest with myself and acknowledge what I want from my career and more importantly life, and then by encouraging me to realise I can do whatever I make my mind up to; actually making the career switch I did was greatly due to her valuable support throughout the process, and I cannot be more grateful to Joanna for that."

    "Before starting, I didn’t know I needed this challenge until I fully emerged into the sessions. I enjoyed that Joanna tailored the exercises to my way of processing information. It was so useful to remember the essence. Other techniques such as the value exercise, will stick with me for a long time. The five values I identified already helped me stay true to myself in many different contexts. Even if I felt stuck, we found ways to tackle the issue and I felt freer afterwards. Thank you, Joanna, for giving me the space to think and encouraging me to unlock the creative solutions that I had in me all this time."

    "During the coaching with Joanna, I especially enjoyed the calm and reflective setting. Her approach allowed me to open up and better understand my core values and what is important to me. This led to concrete and actionable steps to becoming the person I want to be. Joanna's coaching is a remarkable and rewarding experience and I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with her."

    Nutritionist

  • T Shaped LLC

    Joanna has a kind approach intertwined with openness and patience. Her coaching has helped me become aware of my values and embed them in the decisions I was struggling or afraid to make. She helped me not only to realise what I can do to achieve my goals but also to do it. After 6 months, I can say that I feel more confident as well as grateful to have taken a part in her programme. I am sure I will be coming back to what I’ve learned many times in the future.
