Our Notes

A career coach, by letter

Your coach remembers what you said you’d do. On Friday, they ask.

One short letter every weekday morning, about your actual week, ending in one question. Reply in a sentence. Your coach writes back, and keeps count.

No. 0412From Your coachTo Lerato M.

Morning, Lerato.

Last Thursday you said the Pretoria move is the moment to ask for the team-lead role, and that you’d raise it with Johan before the quarter closes. The quarter closes on the 30th.

What would you need in hand to walk into that conversation this week?

Honestly? Numbers. I cut onboarding from six weeks to four in Q2, but I’ve never written that down anywhere Johan would see it.

No. 0416From Your coachTo Lerato M.

You wrote it down on Monday night, in two sentences: six weeks to four. That’s the case. The rest is a calendar invite.

Is it in Johan’s calendar yet?

Example letters. Lerato is not a real subscriber.

How a week runs

Not advice on demand. A coach who keeps count.

A chatbot waits for you to open it. Your coach writes first, asks before advising, and quotes you back to yourself, with dates.

  1. Mon 06:30The goal. What you’re working toward this week, and what’s really going on.
  2. Any eveningYour reply. A sentence is enough. The answer comes that night, with a question, not a lecture.
  3. Fri 06:30The follow-up. You said you’d do it by today. Did you? No praise, no scolding.
