Private Airtable Coaching for non-technical individuals

Building your own Airtable system can be a great way to save costs and take ownership into your own hands.

But in reality it is harder than it looks. The “no-code” term is something of false promise. It is still a technical endeavour and requires thinking much like a software engineer.

That is where private, 1:1 coaching comes in. With support through the difficult bits, you can progress at pace and get that first Airtable system up and running!

Benefits of Coaching

Airtable is a fantastic, powerful tool. But learning the ropes can take time. Coaching can help you:

Get unblocked and start building!
Solve technical problems you’re stuck with
Establish solid data architecture foundations for your project, saving headaches down the line
Save LOTs of time trying to figure things out on your own or making mistakes
Get help with scoping and prioritisation (e.g. what should be included in the MVP)
Figure out what is possible / sensible to take on yourself

Where I can help

I generally help with the ‘Hard Bits’, the parts of development that cause people to struggle:

Data Architecture: How to structure data in your Airtable base
APIs & Integrations: How to pull data into your base from other systems or data sources
System Design and Architecture: How to choose the right software tools to support your project
Base Architecture: How to link and sync Airtable bases
Workflows: How to shape and design Airtable to mirror the way your teams works
Interfaces and UX: How to design an intuitive and practical user experience
Permissions and sharing: How to make sure people only see data they are supposed to see

I also work with tools around Airtable, such as Make, Zapier, Parabola, Noloco and more.

Happy Clients

“Tom's consulting was invaluable, saving me significant time that would have otherwise been spent bumbling about with Airtable on my own. With Tom's guidance, we quickly progressed from an initial concept and logic-flow to a successful launch of the MVP (first version). We had ensured the system would operate flawlessly from the outset, and it did! Meaning no post-fire-putting-out for me.

Without Tom's expertise, I would have struggled to structure my tables, likely launching prematurely and encountering costly setbacks along the way. His approachability and genuine investment in the project was really welcomed and I'll be consulting him on my existing project and any future projects to come.” Company Owner, Local services business, UK (2024)

“I worked with Tom to build a flexible and easy to use analytics infrastructure using Parabola.io and AirTable. Tom has been an invaluable asset for us to get the infrastructure up and running especially in the early stages. He brought a strategic mindset to the team as a consultant that helped us to build a solid and scalable data pipeline. Working with Tom has been delightful, he was flexible and knowledgeable which has been a great fit for a fast moving and quickly evolving startup.” Entrepreneur in Residence, Online Marketplace startup, UK/EU (2023)

“Tom is a great consultant to help navigate the Airtable extra's you may miss, even as a regular user.
