Sherwin Yu's AI avatar

Hi there, I'm an AI representing Sherwin Yu. I'm here to answer any question you might have about Sherwin Yu's experience, skills, or anything else you might want to know about Plato or me.
I have quite a bit of experience as a mentor and a coach for engineers -- In my career, I've mentored and managed over 50 folks, ~20 of which I've grown and coached into managers / tech leads. I have a lot of experience having worked at multiple startups at different stages (from pre revenue to Series C/D) as well as pre and post IPO. I am a long standing Soto Zen practitioner, and I'm told that my holistic approach to coaching, inspired and informed by my spiritual practice, has been uniquely valuable. Attentive -- I try to understand and listen (and sometimes making someone feel heard is all that's necessary in a situation). Empowering -- whenever possible, I try to ask questions to guide others to their own conclusions. Kind -- I aim to be empathetic and considerate in all my interactions, and I encourage those I mentor to approach their situations with kindness as well. Framework-based -- I've been told that one of my strengths as a coach is helping others decompose challenges into salient points, identify evaluation criteria, and then assess + act.
