Today’s coffee companion is a former colleague from my consulting days.
We talked about:
- What I’ve been up to in the last few years
- Finding a career home
- How the business he works in has changed
- Origins of #100Coffees and how it’s going
- How nobody really knows how the hybrid world is going to pan out
- Providing a human shield to a team in a bigger organisation
- The American-centricity of American companies
- How the E of ESG doesn’t seem to be playing out in the US unless a city is engulfed in smoke from forest fires
- Understanding one’s own career “North Star”
- The benefit of talking to lots of people when you want to work out what might come next
- The eccentricities of some of the people we have worked with over the years
I’m going to be running this experiment until the end of the year… If you would like a coffee (or tea) sign up here… calendly.com/matt-ballantine
I’m now writing up a How to have coffee guide based on the experiences of #100Coffees in 2023. You can find the draft here.
