COVID-19 Continuity Support

To help sustain and support our community during COVID-19, it’s my pleasure to donate time to provide continuity consulting to small businesses and nonprofits.  I’d be happy to talk with small businesses, nonprofits, and their employees about ways they can successfully navigate the transition to remote work and practically implement technology to offer (at least some) services online.  If you are overwhelmed with options and unsure of which technologies and approaches might work best for your environment, I can talk through those options with you and offer some advice.

Small businesses, nonprofits and their employees can schedule a time to talk with me over the next 3 weeks at https://calendly.com/yazdaniconsulting/covidtech  (Update: We’ve extended this offer through May 1st)

I’m also opening a Slack channel to help folks share strategies.  Please email me to be invited to the channel.

What to expect:  Once you schedule a call, you will be asked to complete a short Information Form that will help me prepare for our discussion.  Each call is scheduled for 45 minutes and you will receive a call from me at the scheduled time. In 45 minutes, I can hope to learn about the challenges you are facing in responding to COVID-19 and offer some suggestions for technology and approaches you can use.  I won’t be able to walk you through the steps of a technology implementation, but I hope to be able to point you in a direction to help you move forward on your own or to find support. I’m not able to provide legal, tax or financial advice, but I can suggest how and when to implement technology tools.

Also, this isn’t a sales pitch for my services.  I won’t use our 45 minutes to talk about Yazdani Consulting and Facilitation and I won’t suggest you hire me to help you fully implement a technology we discuss.  If folks are interested in learning about my services, they should schedule a different time to talk.  I’m donating my time because I think I have some experience and expertise to offer and this seemed like one way I can help.  And (selfishly), as small businesses and nonprofits are among my targeted clients, I’d like to ensure their sustainability during COVID-19 so that they are still around to do business with once things return to (a new?) normal.

Stay safe,

Jami Yazdani
