As a strategic marketing leader, consumer champion, internet specialist, and experienced public speaker, I can help individuals and companies with tech, administrative, marketing, and personnel issues.
In professional networking, the best connectors are most generous with their time, information, and resources. Most are even willing to offer some pro bono consulting advice on that project you’re working on.
No one would ask someone to lunch and ask a professional to give them their computer chocked full of everything they need to do their job. Why do some people ask professionals to “pick their brains?” That intelligent mind represents thousands of dollars invested into a formal education and years of hard work that made them a powerhouse resource.
My twenty-seven years of hard work, accumulated knowledge, ability to connect with people, mentoring, advice, and compassionate heart are valuable, and they come at a price.
Please don’t be offended when I decline that invitation to lunch if the purpose is to “pick my brain.” I am, however, more than happy to quote you my consultation rate, and we can split the ticket for lunch.
I have done so much pro bono work that I have lost count. It has cost me a small fortune. I shudder to think about how much I have gifted to friends who “picked my brain.”
Until I am able to purchase groceries and pay my bills with “good intentions,” my generosity will be restricted. That does not mean I don’t love connecting and exchanging ideas as long as it is mutually beneficial.
