Kurt Dusek shares how Tech Leaders can help influence key decisions

Don’t fly blind Want me to review your LinkedIn profile? Your profile is your first impression so you want it to be right I’ve got some time this week to review 3 profiles Just did a few for some of our Tech Leaders members And they said it helped to have an outside perspective I can take a look and give you feedback based on: → How your profile comes across to your ideal opportunities → How your profile reflects your expertise and what you want to be known for → The narrative of your background so it makes sense and tells a compelling story Send me a DM and I’ll send you a Loom with my feedback so we can make sure your profile is optimized for the right opportunities.

Nick Talwar shares what most leaders overlook with AI projects

Don’t fall for the AI hype Nick Talwar explains how to look for real problems to solve not possibilities to invent

I wrote an article about my experiences trying some AI-based coding tools ...and a little about my perspective as a Field CTO.

Don’t sell yourself short After working with 28 start-ups and scale-ups the last 5 years as an indie consultant There’s 1 simple framework I’ve followed to price myself This Offer Framework makes it easy to price yourself Without feeling “salesy” or undervaluing your expertise By reverse-engineering the full value of your solution And understanding the core motivations of the decision-makers… You can differentiate yourself and earn your true worth Instead of being capped by the market rates and compared to low-balling competition And in this live, 1-hour workshop? We’ll help you use this same framework to price yourself But here’s what happens when you don’t accurately price your expertise: You either underprice yourself, earn less than you should And make your ideal clients undervalue (and under appreciate) what you do… Or you aim too high, miss the right positioning, and they don’t hire you when they should So you quote something “reasonable” and get compared to cheap options And it’s a race to the bottom that you don’t want to win But your clients? They don’t really even need you as a technical resource And they don’t need your time (although some of it will be helpful) They just need cost-effective solutions with a quick ROI So we demonstrate that with 3 components: The cost of the unsolved problem The cost of other options The speed of ROI We can help you price yourself and position it for clients like this in 1 hour Would you like to join us?

Don’t forget to do this When re-engaging with old clients or companies
