Woop woop! This is it - we've launched! 💪 🎉
Be Brave!
Over the last years I have been thinking "wouldn't it be great to support other technology businesses in an advisory role"?
But I hadn't been brave enough to allow myself to follow my heart - my inner critic always had an answer: "Not now! Maybe after the next job, when you have enough experience!". This was classic imposter syndrome!
Thinking back on my career, I had previously taken calculated risks and on reflection, being brave had always worked out for me. Big changes are certainly never easy, but the journey always enriched my life and I learned so much from challenging myself!
Seize the Opportunity!
In January 2023 I was made redundant - the first time in my life and it came totally unexpected. The company I was working for, like many other high growth businesses at the time, realised that they had hired too many people too quickly and the macro-economic environment wasn't looking too rosy either!
Suddenly loosing my purpose was very challenging, but I thought to myself that "every change is a new opportunity"! I had been finding excuses for some time now - so this was finally my chance! I took some brave pills and decided to figure out how to make my vision of advising tech businesses a reality!
What Can I Offer?
The next step was to figure out my value proposition - what exactly do I want offer that would be useful to technology startups?
I always felt that deciding on a technology stack and putting the right tooling in place was fairly straight-forward. On the other hand, building teams was really hard! There are so many elements to consider, particularly when it comes to tech teams!
It feels like you have to be superhuman to tick all the boxes when working as a technology leader and manager: Not only should you know everything about how to build solutions and scale them, you also need to be amazing with people and able to set up well functioning systems in an organisation!
So this was it then: I want to help companies with mentoring and coaching when it comes to people and systems! Thinking back to when I faced challenges, I would have loved some support!
Get In Touch!
So if you are curious to find out more about how I can help your business, please get in touch! I love learning about your challenges and will be able to advise on what I would recommend as the next steps! Hope to speak soon! 👋
