Supercharge Your Chance of Success

Having spent over 30 years of figuring out what works and what doesn't work when running a business in a very niche market and whilst it is not the only way - this 5 C's Corporate to Consulting methodology has successfully launched over 300 People Consultancies in the UK , US, Canada and many other countries.

Thinking about becoming an independent HR consultant? Start with the 5 C’s.

There’s a lot to decide when you set up a consultancy. It’s easy to spend time on the visible things, like a name or website, while the decisions that will help you win clients are still taking shape.

I developed the 5 C’s Success Map to give you a practical order to work through. It starts with Confidence in your ability to make the move, then builds Clarity about who you help and what you offer. From there, you develop Credibility, grow through Collaboration, and find the Courage to put yourself out there and take action.

Wherever you are in your journey, the 5 C’s can help you see what to focus on next.

Confidence

This is about establishing what skills, experience and type of consultancy you want to create. More importantly the type of lifestyle you want to create.

Clarity

This focuses on who you want to work with, what services and products you will offer and your pricing strategy.

Credibility

This takes the work you have done in stages 1 & 2 and let's you consider how you will market yourself to your ideal clients.

Collaboration

To superboost your portfolio and success collaborations are a great way to achieve this.

This includes other consultants, service providers and products.

Courage

Courage is focused on accountability; making things happen and working smarter not harder. This ranges from cloud technology to looking after yourself as a consultant and effective work habits.

To Find Out More

The 5 C’s are at the heart of my consulting programmes, book and podcast. It also features in the CIPD’s new Career Toolkit, How to Become an Independent Consultant.

My hope is that this model helps you see where you are now, what to focus on next, and how to take your first steps into consulting with confidence.
