No More Waiting for Voohy

It's really been quite a journey with Voohy. While these are early days, today is an important milestone for Voohy.

Voohy is officially out of beta and is generally available.

What does this mean?

Previously, Voohy was available for only a few people and you had to sign up for the waitlist. Now, anyone can start using Voohy. This also means that paid plans are in effect (It's at an introductory price level. I will most likely be changing the pricing to something higher in a while).

Learnings along the way

There have been a lot of things I have learned along the way. When I started Voohy, I has a vision to help people become a better leader and to help them in their careers.

I had a particular point of view starting out, based on the gap in the market. This was that there was a lack of tooling where people could coach themselves towards success in their careers. So I went ahead and built quite a few innovative features informed by that insight.

Talking to my users, I realized that while these are great differentiators, table-stakes are still good old content. Before people are willing to go towards self-coaching, they need to realize the value it could bring in the first place, and in the meantime, they need immediate answers to their burning career problems.

With this observation, I began what I consider the other pillar of Voohy - amazing and relevant content to make people better leaders and managers.

Creating world-class leadership learning content

When I decided that I need to create great leadership content - the questions I asked myself was, what is world-class leadership content? There is so much content out there already, so what's the problem? Why don't people find that enough?

Reflecting on it myself, and by talking to users revealed the answer.

A lot of content around leadership is either inaccessible, costly, or redundant. There are great books, courses, videos etc out there, but users find it difficult to find the signal amongst the noise. So having bite-sized courses around a specific leadership skill or sceneario can be of much more help.

When we talk about things not being accessible, there is a plethora of great knowledge out there hidden away behind research papers. If someone could choose the right research to highlight and translate to managers, it could be of tremendous help. Especially since most leaders and managers do not have time to pore through scores of opaque and hard to find research from all around the world.

The other point of view I developed, and it's been in the making since a long time, is that most books and courses are too long. I'm a voracious reader of books, but there have been times where I have said to myself that the book I'm reading could have been just a long-form article.

This made me think that there is value in learning which bite-sized, but still grounded in facts, experience and reality.

These are the insight and points of view I took to make the second pillar of Voohy.

Give it a shot

Voohy now has world-class training and tooling for developing effective leaders. Give it shot!
