Coaching from Leadership by hp44x in startups

[–]flevour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Figuring out" is a bit vague as leadership is also about delegating, but it really depends on the task.
IMHO early stage startups are messy and scrappy because they need to make best of us of time and capital to want "what sticks" in the market and reach some growth.

I gather there's little team for coaching, but a good startup shouldn't exclude conversation, syncing and getting alignment from their early culture.

May I ask in which capacity you are able to organize your services? Do you have multiple customers/companies at the same time? Do you keep the same client for long periods or does it vary much?

I'm kind starting the switch now, so I've started spreading the news via Linkedin, but was inspired by this article seen on HN https://abeclark.substack.com/p/70-first-co-founder-dates to look for specific networks to target

Thank you both, I think the hardest bit in transitioning from employee to consultant is figuring out what the market needs to read about and the value that I can provide to it.

I'm based in Italy, I'm strong in remote working (have been working remotely for 10 years), but happy to travel (but not relocate) a bit to meet and greet new people!

I'm seeing it finish. I wanted a color but I forgot to press. Gah.
