How to work with me
What I can offer
Someone who loves teaching, engages well and empathetically with others, and has a wide range of skills and experience with various forms of marketing strategy -- from brand strategy, to media channel strategy, to digital strategy, to business strategy. I am looking for opportunities to provide guidance -- to "teach them to fish" -- so that they can feel empowered to maximize their marketing opportunities.
My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship
Developing a relationship where I am a coach -- guiding my mentee through the thought processes that will improve their offering, providing them with the frameworks and tools to improve, and keeping in touch often enough so that we can collaborate continuously on how to keep improving.
How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start
Nothing more than being open and honest when answering questions and starting our conversation. It would probably be helpful to have any relevant documents or presentations on-hand (e.g. business plan), but by no means should they feel compelled to share sensitive or proprietary information if they aren't comfortable.
