After searching for a local business coach (AKA Mentor) for a couple months, I finally hired a remote one based on the strong recommendation of a friend.
I'm pretty impressed with our ability to work / communicate remotely. Apparently in the business coaching industry, being remote is very common. It boggles my mind, but it working pretty well for us. We talk via Skype, keep records via a wiki type software, and often use comapping (an on-line mind map tool geared towards collaboration). I'm not equating "marketing / finance / sales" to "programming" but I can envision the approach like this working for programmers too. I still think there is a huge benefit of being able to sit down together of course. -- Jeffry Houser Flex, ColdFusion, AIR AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- Adobe Community Expert <http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/members/JeffryHouser.html> My Company: <http://www.dot-com-it.com> My Podcast: <http://www.theflexshow.com> My Blog: <http://www.jeffryhouser.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:3819 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11
