Eliminate Consulting Overwhelm: Clarify Focus, Attract Clients, Create Consistent Revenue
Female from Philadelphia, United states and speaks EnglishAvailable for Collaboration, Interviews in In-Person, Remote Formats
I help independent consultants/small consulting businesses who have solid experience and expertise and although they are passionate and driven to succeed, they’ve hit a plateau and are frustrated. They have tried various approaches but they still can’t seem to connect with the right clients, have consistent revenue, grow their business, or have time for themselves and family.
They desire to have a thriving consulting business and become known as the “go to” expert in their field. They realize they need clarity as to their consulting focus and ideal client as well as how to connect with the right clients.
They are ready to embrace change and innovate with the help of a provide framework (Consultant’s Blueprint) and actionable tactics. They want to transform their frustration and, in some cases, burnout into a thriving business that attracts a steady stream of clients who are interested in what they want to be known for, their point of view, and services.
The best clients are those that are open and committed to following a "less is more" philosophy. They are open to simplifying so that they can grow and build a sustainable business that aligns with them and their lifestyle.
If your audience struggles with these challenges, my expertise is a good fit.

Why Invite me?
1. Engaging Speaker: With a proven track record of speaking engagements and online programs like Consulting Mastery, the presentations include engaging relatable stories that include the good and bad. Each presentation delivers valuable insights and actionable tactics. (Laura Burford has an engaging presentation style that draws people in and gets them to care about her material. I attended one of Laura’s workshops and I was so impressed, I asked her to speak to my consulting colleagues. Rick Pollak, Presentation Coach and President of the Society of Professional Consultants) 2. Experience and Expertise in Consulting and Start-up a Consulting Business: Not only have I been there, I’ve made the mistakes that made consultants make so my conversations are not simply theory that anyone can read but based on real life experiences and experiences of others who have been there. 3. Proprietary Framework: Leveraging my Consultant's Blueprint, I offer a unique and flexible approach to building and scaling consulting businesses in four key areas: Business Core (Focus, Ideal Clients, and Point of View), Awareness and Relationships Building, Obtaining Commitment, and Delivering with Excellence. The blueprint is based on my years of experience and input from consultants who have succeeded as well as failed and is the bases for the Consulting Mastery program. 4. Promotional and Networking Reach: As a YouTuber and author, I can help promote the podcast episode to a wider audience, increasing visibility for the host. The podcast episodes are announced to my email list and on LinkedIn. If permission is granted, they will be added to my YouTube channel (linking to your platform). 5. Passionate Advisor and Mentor: My commitment is on helping consultants overcome challenges and avoid common pitfalls, many of which I made as I built my own businesses, makes me a valuable guest who can inspire and motivate listeners to achieve success in their consulting businesses.
