Hartley’s Handbook will always be free for readers. The information presented will be actionable and helpful, but I don’t feel that it should be gated by a paywall.
If you are interested in working with me directly, I offer mentorship and fractional engineering leadership, but I won’t clutter this page with too many of those details. Please reach out on LinkedIn if you’d like to learn more!
Mentorship
I’ve mentored individuals in many different capacities and companies at different stages, from new managers to new CTOs. Most recently I’ve been working with a few companies through the Rev1 Customer to Capital Cohort in Columbus, OH.
Benefits of one-on-one mentorship with me:
Personalized attention: With mentoring and coaching, you receive one-on-one attention and support that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Accountability: Working with a mentor provides a sense of accountability that can be difficult to achieve on one's own. Individuals are more likely to follow through on their commitments and make progress toward their goals when they have someone to answer to.
Expert guidance: I bring expertise and experience to the table, providing you with valuable insights and advice that you may not have access to otherwise.
Overcoming obstacles: Many people encounter obstacles or challenges on the road to achieving their goals. I can help identify and overcome these obstacles, providing support and guidance along the way.
Improved confidence and motivation: Working with me can help build confidence and stay motivated, even in the face of setbacks or challenges.
Unbiased, direct feedback: An external mentor can offer a unique perspective that differs from that of an internal mentor. With a fresh set of eyes and a diverse range of experiences from their own company and industry, an external mentor can bring invaluable insights and ideas to the table. Moreover, they may introduce new approaches and alternatives to existing processes, offering a fresh and innovative take on traditional methods.
Investing in one-on-one mentoring can be a game changer for your career and your organization.
