Maybe! I’m biased because I run free sessions on this sort of stuff, and I like to think I don’t do too many platitudes or brag. Hard to say :)

The advantage of talking live with a human on this stuff is context. There are dozens of frameworks you can use for any different situation, but understanding when not to use one is as powerful as knowing when to use it.

Blog posts rarely capture that nuance. A lot of times they can’t for confidentiality reasons. Talking live with a manager with a decade of experience can help you to short circuit a challenge much quicker than trying to sort out the best online resource.

Not saying online stuff isn’t great! It is. Just defending live chats too :)
