Q: What is this?
A: If you’re currently in a management position and are looking for coaching, guidance, troubleshooting, or just a sounding-board, consider me a helping hand. I’ve opened up my calendar, up to five hours a week, to meet with managers and discuss their unique challenges. I’m offering this up as a community service with no strings, no sales pitches, no nothing. I’m just looking to help.
Q: How do I sign up for a session?
A: Click here https://calendly.com/eagerwes/mentoring-office-hours
Q: How many sessions are you doing per week?
A: I’m currently capping it to 5 per week. I still have a full time job (and then some) running my startup, Eager Labs, so I can’t do this 100% of the time.
Q: What if I’m not a manager?
A: It’s not that I can’t or don’t want to help you- I’m just trying to limit the scope of the conversations, as it’ll be easier for me to provide concrete support an suggestions.
Q: Why should I trust your advice?
A: I’m probably nobody to you, so I get the skepticism. I’m not Andy Grove, but I’ve now spent half of my career either being a manager or building tools to help managers (my current startup), so this is something I think about all the time.

tl;dr: I’ve been a manager of ICs, a director (manager of managers), and now I’m a founder of my own startup that focuses on professional development.
