Get free advice
I want to see what it would be like to make myself available to give targeted, personalized advice through-out the work day. I’m going to start with having the challenges or dilemmas submitted in writing and may go to an Instant Message format…we’ll see. (both G-mail and Skype provide that opportunity).
I came up with this idea true to the spirit of the “life line” concept from the show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. One thing for sure…when I was a manager, I sure wish I’d had access to a knowledgeable trusted advisor and friend for many of my work life and management challenges, even how to manage my bosses.
I’ve been doing this for my closest friends for years and as I’ve traveled the country and heard lots of stories, I see this as a compelling need.
As my friend Alan recently said after an advice conversation, “Thanks for talking today. I was frustrated and you listened with empathy, summarized what I said and what I was feeling and identified both short term and long term solutions. You are a gifted coach.” Alan
At this point, since it’s in beta…this service is currently free. We’ll see how it evolves.
