Mentoring
I love mentoring and do so regularly at Amazon. In 2023, I become a mentor on MentorCruise and have since mentored dozens of fellow professionals through the platform (and collecting a bunch of stellar reviews).
Separately, I also created two awesome Notion templates for Mentors and Mentees. You should check them out as there’s nothing quite like them out there!
“Teaching”
Ever thought about coaching and helping others develop? Sure. Ever thought about doing so by preparing a 6-week intensive course where you pack the infamous 10’000 hours of training you went through to master your craft? Me neither.. until ELVTR contacted me to have me build a curriculum for a Data Analysis in Finance course. If you want a taste of it, there’s an online recording of the webinar I hosted in June 2023 on Generative AI for Data Analysis.
Solopreneurship (first attempt: fail)
At the start of 2023, I worked on my first ever online, print-on-demand side-hustle – sburla. I wanted to print high-quality t-shirts with distinctive sentences in the regional Italian dialects and ride the wave of online Shopify stores. From North to South, I designed dozens of products that suit the needs of local avant-garde fashionistas that want to stand out from the crowd. However, with Mentorcruise and my ELVTR course teaching, I couldn’t dedicate enough time to it and decided to pause it for the time being. Plus, sorting out the VAT and tax side of things from the UK was too much! I’ll give it a shot again at some point in the future.
