Yet another idea name thread...
Long time ago I posted a similar idea, this is going to be productized consulting in the shape of business acumen for engineers. I tried in the past a similar thing for a specific sector, which was rapid changing and required too much depth so productizing fell off and turned into plain consulting.
This one is broader and evergreen, every year thousands of engineers enter the workforce with very little business sense. And all managers wish their engineers had some..! In a few years engineers notice that if they are not the best in their technical field.. the only way to advance or diferentiate themselves is through business acumen and/or soft-skills, something they never cared about before.
I already purchased the domain businessforengineers, but I'd like to craft more of a brand name for it. Business for engineers is just the stepping stone, but its more, its about vision, mindset, career growth, intrapreneurship etc.
This will be the DNA of the company:
List of names I like around "big picture/helicopter view":

This will be the DNA of the company:
- Informal community (not an MBA or academic)
- Practical for career growth (salary negotiation, personal branding) or horizontal moves (technical marketing, sales engineering)
- Accessible (under 100$ courses, relatively short and to the point)
- Can serve as my own personal brand for marketing and business consulting
