Let's take a creative look at your problem

What?

An hour online to talk about an issue that's on your mind. I'll listen, ask questions, and think along with you. Afterwards, you'll receive a short summary of my insights and possibly a few possible next steps.

No lengthy trajectories, no thick reports, just a clear conversation.

For whom?

For freelancers, entrepreneurs, makers, artists, or just people with an interesting question.

• You have a vague idea but can't turn it into a concrete plan.
• You're stuck on a project and need someone to bounce ideas off.
• You're facing a decision and want to clarify the pros and cons.
• You have a technical issue but aren't a tech person yourself.
• You just want to think out loud with someone who asks structured questions.

For whom not?

If you're looking for an expert in a specific field (accounting, marketing, construction, ...) then I'm not the right person. I'm not a specialist in your field, but I am in clear and creative thinking.

How does it work?

1. You email me a short description of what's on your mind.
2. If I think I can be of help, we schedule a one-hour video call (Google Meet or something similar).
3. We talk. I ask questions, you explain, I think along.
4. Afterwards, I send you a short summary of my main insights and a few possible next steps.

That's it. No obligations, no hassle.

Why me?

I'm an engineer, but I've also worked with my hands: my career started as a CNC operator in fine mechanics and mold making. Later, I was IT manager for a research group at KU Leuven, and for years I worked as a consultant writing software for a wide variety of companies. In between, I spent some time working in a library, a computer store, and even (briefly) at an electronics retailer. I'm one of those people who doesn't like doing the same thing for too long. Variety is the spice of life, and all that.

This mix means I'm technically skilled, but also have a broad perspective. I'm trained to think structurally, but also to see out-of-the-box solutions. Versatile problems? I've seen enough different situations over the years to be able to think along.

Indicative price

As said, prices are negotiable, depending on the problem. But this gives you an idea. It could be more, it might even be a little less.

• € 100 for an hour
• € 180 for a double hour (if one hour seems too short).

Payment by bank transfer after invoice. Simple.

Interested?

Then contact me with a short description of your issue. If I think I can be of help, we'll schedule a conversation. If not, I'll tell you honestly.
