  1. Do you want to earn more money while working from home?
    Do you want to earn more money while working from home?
    You're not alone...

    I know what you’re thinking - it doesn't sound real. But I promise you it can be.

    In fact, I set out on this very journey 26 years ago and found I could make it happen much more easily than I had imagined. Since then, I have helped countless people do the same.

    The good news? You can do it too. The answer lies in consulting. Consultants often out-earn salaried workers within the first couple of years.

    The bad news? Making the Leap into Consulting™ can be a bit of a minefield. New consultants often find themselves lost for a few years; losing money while they try to figure out the business side of things, how to price themselves, or how to find clients.

    But, as it’s 2020 and I think we all need a little more good news in our lives, I’m here to tell you that becoming a consultant doesn’t have to take years to figure out. Many new consultants just need a helping hand and some robust advice to ensure the entire process happens much quicker.

    In fact, I can help you do it in just 6 weeks.

    My 6-week Fast Track HR Consultants Bootcamp focusses on a few specific steps you need to take in order to reach success. Many others have been through the Bootcamp and come out as successful owners of a consultancy business.

    Have a look at some of our recent 5 star reviews here.

    We focus on mindset, motivation and yes - money.

    Six weeks is all it takes to change your life. If you’re serious about making it happen, join us.

    Our next Bootcamp starts mid September - it's self paced with group coaching once a week.

    If you'd like a chat with me about how this might work for you just book a time in my diary, I'd love to help you become a consultant.

     

  2. I dont want to go back to the office

    According to a recent survey, 53% of UK office workers say they don’t want to return to the office post COVID-19.

     The survey continued to note that 83.5% of people surveyed have enjoyed working from home, with reasons including flexibility (40%), no commute (38%) and greater productivity (68%). Some of the participants even admitted to enjoying wearing comfortable clothes and not having to keep up the pretence of a ‘work persona’ for all hours on the clock. 

    If you fall into the more-than-half of office workers who don’t want to return to the office, then you may be thinking about your options. 

    You’re in luck, this is an area I’ve been advising and coaching people on for many years. 26 years, in fact. Long before COVID-19 even existed. 

    The answer? Consider consulting. If you don’t know much about it, the thought may be intimidating. But it’s really quite simple. Once you know how. 

    I’ve helped over 40 people this year alone to make the move from the employed world to business-owner, giving them freedom, flexibility, and the opportunity to work from home. I’ve been busier than ever over the last few months.

    I’ll take you through the process step-by-step; from the technicalities of setting up your business legally, to encouraging you and showing you how to find motivation, as well as the all important aspect of how to find paying clients. 

    Many people who take the Leap into Consulting™ end up out-earning their salaried role quickly. I did, as have most of my clients. 

    So, whatever your reasons for not wanting to return to the office - fear, freedom, flexibility, or finance - together we can make it happen. 

    No matter which stage of the process you are, I have a few options that will allow you to further explore.

    Which of the below sounds like you?

    I’ve never thought about consulting but it sounds interesting!

    Book a 10 minute call with me where we can chat through the process and see if it’s something that will suit you.

    I’ve been thinking about consulting as an option but I’m not sure if it’s right.

    Join my ‘Is Consulting right for you’ short course and together, we’ll find your answer.

    I’m in! I want to make the Leap into Consulting™ but I don’t know how to start.

    Sign up to my 6 week virtual bootcamp to make it a reality.

  3. How many professional learning events have you attended that just didn’t quite match up to what you were sold?

    When you’re trying to improve your future, this is the most disheartening thing that can happen.

    That’s why my HR Consultants Virtual Bootcamp packs in 9+ hours of business coaching and 174 pages of quality workbook material. And that’s just the beginning.

    Here are some of the others:

    Bootcamp benefits

    So you want to start or strengthen your HR Consulting career? You’re in the right place.

    My HR Consultants Virtual Bootcamp is practical, packed with value, and proven to work.

    Using my learnings, insights, knowledge and experience from 25+ years as a highly successful consultant, I’ve packed years’ of experience into a transformational fast-track programme: allowing you to learn the tricks of the trade in just six weeks.

    About those numbers:

    This is an in-depth online course, there’s no glossing over things here. It teaches practical and productive HR Consultant methodology to help you win more clients.

    Think of it this way: this six week course is comparable to learning at a College or University but with one huge benefit - the lack of four walls allows us to keep the price low.

    The money you invest can often be made back in just one extra day of consulting work - something our graduates find happens to them, time and time again.

    This 6 week HR Consultants Bootcamp will help you get where you need to be professionally in weeks, not months or years.
