I must say I’m amazed ive not seen your organisation sooner. I have been trying to create a similar collective with a mensa group (unsuccessfully) to review and forecast impacts and solutions for real world issues. One of the members directed me here, glad he did.
Not sure if I am what you are looking for exactly, but I have sent my application over as your ethos really interest me.
My question, as an advisor what would the day to day workload look like? Are there options to meet face to face with clients or is it desk based?
Advising calls are entirely over zoom, so it’s all from a desk. That said, this gives advisors a lot of flexibility to design their work schedule around other constraints, such as childcare.
A typical day probably looks like spending ~1 hour preparing for calls, ~3 hours delivering calls, ~1 hour following up with previous advisees, and the remaining time working on projects for the team or on personal development. Team projects range from hiring, to identifying useful resources and opportunities to share with advisees, to streamlining our application process. Personal development often looks like learning about our top problems, or setting up systems to improve personal productivity.

Thank you and have a great day.
Thanks for your interest in our work!
