This is a video of the model that was made in the session Olaf Lewitz and me facilitated at XPDay Benelux 2010. If you listen carefully, you can hear Vera Peeters ringing a bell to announce the last 5 minutes of the session. Thank you Michael for uploading this.
I have been working as a freelance consultant since 1998. Most of the time I have been working through so called third party companies. Working via such a companies has advantages for all parties. Some of the nicest work I have done under the umbrella of other companies. Although there are some charlatans in that world, most are honest and I have nothing against working with them.
As an agile coach, I want to leave a client as fast as possible. My business model is to help a client to become independent of me ASAP. My end clients love this model. The third parties hate it. They are used to selling a consultant for a longer period, 1 client at the time.
For some clients it is NOT in there best interest to have a coach on board full time. This gives a conflict of interest between the third parties and the end client.
From the first of January I am again available for coaching possibilities. After working 14 months outside Belgium, I will focus my work the next year inside Belgium. As I hope to find more clients that are interested in my business model I have created next offer:
Acceptance criteria:
– First two weeks of January
– Maximum 4 hours free.
