SQL School encore

My client had a new person join the team, and they asked me to put her through my SQL course. I am always eager for a new student, so I readily agreed, and we had our first session this morning, which went swimmingly.
I then had a conversation with the configuration manager, in which I shared with her an Excel tool I've been working on that takes the guesswork out of queries and lets users navigate data in Excel without SQL knowledge. She loved it and then mentioned that she has two people on her team that she wishes would learn more SQL. I told her that I just started a run of the course, and she immediately added them to the invite to join us for Session 2 next week. It's perfect timing because, although they missed Session 1, Session 2 is a recap, and it will be easy for them to catch up.
My SQL School course is one of my favorite accomplishments during these last twelve years of my health consultant career. It's the deliverable I'm most proud of, and I believe it has had the biggest impact on the most people. I still have fellow consultants telling me how comfortable they got with SQL after taking my course.
This sounds like a good side hustle to your now-main-hustle. It differentiates you within the team while giving you a longer track record teaching SQL.
