Agile Coach Ruth Struck

What led you to do this business?  What were you doing before? I have been a contract or permanent employee doing agile coaching for the past 12 years. I wanted to establish myself as a separate entity rather than a full-time employee of a company.

What is working now? I have been networking but haven’t got any business yet.

What class did you take from Jackie?  Encore/Solo business builders.

What did you learn from Jackie?  Working with Jackie was inspiring. As a result, she gave me the confidence to continue moving forward, always giving me positive support about the value I can provide clients. Her advice on wording communications, reaching out, and follow up were great.

Take Away/Lessons Learned/Advice: Charge enough.  In other words, cheap does not generate business or give the impression of quality.
