Charlie (Tigger) holds free and open office hours. Free means he doesn’t ask for anything in return. Open means open to anyone.

Tenets for Tig’s Office Hours

  • Use Me - Take advantage of me without reservation. If the time I’ve budgeted for office hours gets overwhelmed, that will be a great problem for us all to have.
  • It’s Your Time – I have tons of experience, am a good listener, and probably can help you. But it is your responsibility to come prepared with topics you want to discuss. Spend time before our sessions reading relevant posts on my blog (https://ceklog.kindel.com); our conversations will be much more effective if you are familiar with the mental models and tools I’ve documented on my blog.
  • What happens during Office Hours stays in Office Hours – I’m like a Dr. or lawyer in this regard; I will not share any details of what is said with anyone.
  • This is Fake Therapy – I am not a licensed (or even trained) mental health therapist. No topic is off-limits, but if we get too deep, expect me to coach you to get professional help.
