Working with Me

C.J. HaydenThere are four different ways that you can work with me or hire me: as an entrepreneurship coach, as a speaker, trainer, or teacher, as a writer, or as a social change collaborator. Below are details about each of these hats I wear and links to find out more. Please contact me to discuss any of these possibilities.

coach, advisor, consultant
Hire Me as an Entrepreneurship Coach

I help my clients build enterprises that make a positive difference in the world. My typical clients are either right livelihood entrepreneurs or social entrepreneurs, business owners with a personal mission or social agenda behind what they do. I serve as a thinking partner, providing a blend of business coaching with mentoring and practical advice. I work one-on-one with the founder or owner of an enterprise to help them strategize, troubleshoot, overcome obstacles, and stay true to their vision. My clients include solopreneurs with a mission of service, business owners pursuing their right livelihood, and for-profit or nonprofit social enterprises. You can see examples of my clients and their projects here. Much of my work takes place by phone and email, so you can work with me from anywhere in the world.

You can hire me for ongoing coaching, short-term strategy sessions, or to work with your team. You can learn more about how I work at Get Clients Now! or Social Entrepreneur Coach. Please let me know a little about your venture when you contact me.

speaker, trainer, teacher
Work with Me as a Speaker, Trainer, or Teacher

I deliver workshops, classes, and talks throughout North America, and teleclasses and webinars available around the world. My most requested topics are marketing and success strategies for independent professionals, small business owners, and mission-driven entrepreneurs (find out more at Get Clients Now!), and social entrepreneurship and social enterprise (find out more at Social Entrepreneur Coach).

You can see my upcoming programs in the Event Calendar. For live programs, I normally request payment, although I do make exceptions for certain types of groups. For virtual programs, I am often available pro bono, depending on the size of your audience. Invitations for radio, podcast, and blog interviews are always welcome.

writer
Work with Me as a Writer

I write 2-3 new articles every month on marketing, entrepreneurship, life purpose, or social change. I’d be pleased to discuss contributing an article for your publication. For first-run, feature articles, I typically request payment. For contributions as a guest blogger or columnist, I sometimes work pro bono. If you’re interested in articles for reprint, I have a wide variety of past articles available at no charge. Please visit the Articles Index for examples, then contact me for details and permission. I also have a book in progress, which you can learn more about on the Projects page.

social change collaborator
Work with Me as a Social Change Collaborator

I’m involved with a number of social change projects as a team member. The causes in which I am most active are applying entrepreneurship as a tool for social change, and empowering women and girls in the developing world. You can find out more on my Projects page.

I’d be pleased to discuss how I might collaborate with you on a social change project you are engaged in, or how you might collaborate with me on one of my projects. Working together, we can all make the world a better place.
