We speak to many media and technology executives every week. These are some of the most common questions we hear.
What can you help with?
Our primary program is one-on-one coaching where we will discuss anything you'd like. Technology questions, staffing and structures for growth. Many CEO's and publishers don't have an avenue or staff who can help with technical and strategic questions outside of the core business. The world is moving to omnichannel so a broader media perspective is essential.
Why did you shift to executive coaching?
We believe that the local media space is very winnable and a sustainable business model is in plain sight. Not enough media executives understand the opportunities that exist just outside their swim lanes. We believe we can make a bigger difference having discussions one CEO or publisher at a time and not distract with new technologies and "shiny objects". We focus on business models and KPIs to evaluate success.
We have a very small staff?
The phrase "do more with less" is a very dangerous and misleading statement. You should do less with less but get a much bigger return on effort.
Who do you work with?
We work with media companies large and small as well as technology companies who need help from industry insiders who also understand how to bring technology to market. We help those companies with product-market-fit, pricing guidance, getting early adopters as well as bringing tech partners together to create unified reference demo.
What's local media's biggest issue?
Without a doubt it's culture. It exists in both the newspaper and television industries. It permeates throughout organizations and culture starts from the top. Executives must speak the "change" and staff appropriately. Legacy staff can be taught to think differently without making wholesale changes.
What is the free consultation?
It's a 30 minute video call to get to know each other and if our background and style aligns with your goals we can move to a coaching engagement.
