I’ve been thinking a lot about Kaiju Coaching this weekend, and something I’ve come up with is that I’ve been pretty unclear about who I serve specifically. “Leaders” and “those with impostor syndrome” are pretty general, and since I’ve also been reflecting on copywriting (probably because I’ll be head coaching […]

Minimum Viable Project
You might have big dreams about how something is going to get created, or implemented, or launched.

Shipping Expectations
My wife was told her package was late, and she was pleasantly surprised when it came a few days prior to when she was expecting it. It was still later than initially planned, but quicker than her most recent expectations. I ordered something online and was told due to warehouse […]
