I've reached out to a lot of 'powerful IT figures' and the response has been very positive, heartfelt, and genuinely helpful. If you don't sound like a 'PR type' and are just looking for feedback, you'd be surprised at the number of people who dont mind helping out. Sure, some will tell you to get lost, but I've found an overlwhelming majority will take the time to hear your story. Chris R - I disagree.
