🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Karo who bought us 20 coffees! "Hello there! Just a note and 20 coffees to say 'thank you' is just not enough! I am an almost 40 year old with 2 university degrees and 6 years of c-suite level management experience. I don't think I am your target audience, but you helped me just the same. Your podcast on Spotify supported my interview process as I transitioned from self employed management consultant to a regional director of a national not for profit. I felt rusty, like an imposter, and needed guidance. As someone who is accustomed to providing this support to others, it felt uncomfortable at first, but your professional, warm, down to earth coaching was just what I needed on dog walks and in the car when driving to work. Thank you so much for helping me, for free, at a time that I really needed it, Sending love from Turtle Island. Thank you for all that you do!"
