Looking for a Consulting Coach
I've recently set out on my own as a freelancer / consultant specializing in knowledge graph work. I'm good at what I do, have some pretty specialized and hard to find knowledge and so far am loving the new set of skills I need to develop and refine. But I don't know what I don't know and think maybe a coach would be a Good Thing. Maybe not ready for Alan Weiss himself, but somebody who can help me up my game. Any ideas for me? Thanks!

> some pretty specialized and hard to find knowledge
This is irrelevant (not to be harsh). The question is what problem do people (businesses) have that you solve. I used to think similarly, I had a phd, and I knew a lot of "specialized" stuff that takes a long time to understand. Turns our nobody cared.
Obviously I know nothing about your position so maybe you're past this. But my advice is to make sure you frame your work in terms of how you can help with a problem someone has (including who has this problem, what they're doing now, etc), and not what special skills or knowledge you have
