Trying to write a blog post about the challenges of remote-consulting. It's been a real challenge for me - for a few specific reasons.

remote consulting is hard. I've done most of my work remotely since 2018 - happy to read a draft.
my best scenarios are always 1-on-1 combining hands-on work (+even better with live collaboration) + some coaching/sparring

I'm not sure I have enough to say to pull together a draft yet haha. Looking for wisdom and advice...
I think coaching/sparring is definitely more friendly to remote - the work is scoped more clearly to 1:1 work.

Ah that’s why I didn’t resonate here. My work has always been 90% 1:1 remote sparring, 9% in-person, 1% group context (meeting observation etc)
Not counting workshop delivery stuff which is not really consulting and more like teaching
Yeah - I think the *right* answer is to radically re-scope future consulting gigs to look more like sparring/coaching. Full blown consulting is tough right now.... Not much help for client projects in-flight haha

You've touched on this a few times in your writing but would love a more detailed exploration of transition from consulting -> sparring. How to make it successful, how to sell it etc etc
