Starting My Own Venture"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My <a href=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/2019\/12\/moving-on-from-n26\/\">last post<\/a> shared some of my reflections about some of the highlights and lessons learned from my last role. In this post, I want to share with you what&#8217;s next for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s most important for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During many of my coaching\/mentoring sessions, I often start by asking this hard question. It&#8217;s hard for a lot of people to answer because it requires looking deep into yourself. It&#8217;s a question that no one else but <em>you<\/em> can answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some people, it&#8217;s about having new experiences or growing new skills. For others, it&#8217;s about being able to apply their strengths in a way that has a positive outcome. For others, it&#8217;s being able to bring their whole self to work collaborating in an environment with people they trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eating_your_own_dog_food\">dogfood<\/a> my own question, I spent a lot of time last year thinking deeply about what this meant for me. Although I know the answers to this question change over time, I believe what is most important to me right now is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Having more time flexibility<\/strong> &#8211; I have a goal of spending my time with writing and working on a couple of different projects. Having a full-time role would constrain that more than what I would like right now.<\/li><li><strong>Helping others grow <\/strong>&#8211; Feedback from participants from my <a href=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/tech-lead-course\/\">Tech Lead Skills for Developers workshop<\/a> has been personally very fulfilling. Many come away with the realisation that the Tech Lead role is a role change, not a promotion. Others told me how their personal lives have benefited from the training. Hearing how others have grown, and knowing I&#8217;ve had a part in that has been very fulfilling.<\/li><li><strong>Having a broader impact<\/strong> &#8211; All good leaders continue to review the impact they have had. I&#8217;ve had a lot of success growing others leaders within a single company and want to do more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Got some Ikigai?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Japanese have a word, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikigai\">Ikigai<\/a>, that is roughly translated to &#8220;the thing you live for&#8221; or &#8220;reason for being.&#8221; It was propelled into the Twittersphere when Marc Winn published this article, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/theviewinside.me\/what-is-your-ikigai\/\">What is your Ikigai<\/a>?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ikigai-500x500-1.png\" alt=\"Ikigai Venn Diagram\" class=\"wp-image-3567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ikigai-500x500-1.png 500w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ikigai-500x500-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ikigai-500x500-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ikigai-500x500-1-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>A visualisation of the meaning of Ikigai<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s world talks a lot more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/20-companies-with-seriously-inspiring-missions\">mission-driven<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/caterinabulgarella\/2018\/09\/21\/purpose-driven-companies-evolve-faster-than-others\/#4c50b9a455bc\">purpose-driven<\/a> companies. Paloma Medina talks about people&#8217;s core needs using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palomamedina.com\/biceps\">BICEPS<\/a> acronym where two key elements are both seeing Improvement\/Progress (e.g. &#8220;Progress towards purpose&#8221;) and Significance (e.g. &#8220;Your work is recognised and appreciated in ways that feel good&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these models resonate with my own personal values of having an impact with the skills and experiences I&#8217;ve built over time. I&#8217;m grateful I work in an industry (tech) where we have more options to find our Ikigai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The next experiment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that I understand what is most important for me right now, my next experiment is starting my own venture. I don&#8217;t want to label myself as a &#8220;founder&#8221; and I&#8217;m not necessarily interested in starting a product company. Although I&#8217;ve learned to &#8220;never say never!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead my venture is best summarised by the following mission statement: &#8220;Accelerating the growth of technical leaders, software delivery and organisations&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1-1024x341.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1-676x225.png 676w, https:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AcceleratingBanner-1.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Personal mission statement: Accelerating the growth of technical leaders, software delivery and organisations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than defining everything upfront, I have a couple of ideas and initiatives to fulfill this mission right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offering <a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\/tlworkshop\">Tech Lead Development Workshops<\/a> more widely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My previous role significantly limited how and when I could offer my &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\/tlworkshop\">Tech Lead Skills for Developers<\/a>&#8221; workshop. I&#8217;ve had many requests for running this workshop &#8211; both internally for other companies and externally as public workshops as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be initially offering this to companies who would like to host this internally for their staff. If you&#8217;re interested in organising a workshop for your company, then read <a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\/tlworkshop\">more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in joining a public workshop, I&#8217;m in discussions with a couple of training companies and conferences to offer this. Follow me on twitter (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/patkua\">@patkua<\/a>) or connect to me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/patkua\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> to watch for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offering Keynotes and Talks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve had great feedback about the presentations I hold. It&#8217;s also an important part of sharing and distributing knowledge more widely and something I enjoy. You&#8217;ll still, therefore, see me at various tech conferences (mostly around Europe). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in having me speak at your own internal conference or event, then take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patkua.com\/offerings\/talks\/\">some of the talks<\/a> I offer and you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patkua.com\/about\/#contact\">get in touch<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested in hiring me for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advising and mentoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my own leadership journey, I&#8217;ve had a number of people I&#8217;ve mentored and advised. I&#8217;ve found that many senior leaders (e.g. CTOs, VP Engineering, Directors of Engineering) benefit from having an external perspective who has &#8220;been there before.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ll be offering this through a traditional consulting\/advisory model so get in touch if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patkua.com\/about\/#contact\">you&#8217;re interested<\/a> in that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projects in the Pipeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering the services above also gives me significant flexibility to work on a number of projects I haven&#8217;t had time for. My newsletter, <a href=\"http:\/\/levelup.patkua.com\/\">Level Up<\/a> is one such project that has had a good reception and I have a number of others I&#8217;d like to focus on as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving to <a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\">http:\/\/patkua.com<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of this new venture, you&#8217;ll see fewer (maybe zero?) updates on this site going forward. Thank you to all those long term RSS subscribers who&#8217;ve shared my journey over this website. I plan on keeping <a href=\"http:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork\">http:\/\/thekua.com\/atwork<\/a> around as there are many useful resources on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now follow me on <a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\">http:\/\/patkua.com<\/a> (same as <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/patkua\">my twitter handle<\/a>) and the writing will continue at <a href=\"http:\/\/patkua.com\/blog\">http:\/\/patkua.com\/blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last post shared some of my reflections about some of the highlights and lessons learned from my last role.
