Stuck finding your lane as a solo consultant?
✨ The NicheFinder Sprint ✨
April slots now open
Ready to deploy your hard-earned expertise,
on your terms?
I work with independent consultants every day to translate their corporate expertise into signature consulting services.
I offer a range of options from ‘first-mile’ coaching for those just starting out, to monthly coaching retainers for those looking to strategically redesign or optimize their practice with expert help.
I’ve also just launched The NicheFinder Sprint, focused on getting you out of niche purgatory quickly and confidently.

About
‘Lightbulb Sessions’
Lightbulb Sessions are a new, signature feature of my coaching programs, giving clients an additional opportunity to sync live 1:1 with me on any pressing topic between our scheduled calls, such as:
Weighing a time-sensitive proposal or client matter
Debriefing a recent client interaction or sales conversation
Processing an ‘a-ha!’ moment or strategic revelation
Preparing for a difficult meeting or call
All active clients can access a private Calendly to book Lightbulb Sessions within two rolling business days at no additional cost.
So what’s next?
If any of these options have piqued your interest, book a no-commitment consultation with me.
We’ll take 30 minutes to discuss:
Your solo consulting journey to date and your goals
The top challenges you're facing
The style of support you're looking for
If we feel there's a mutual fit to work together, I'll share:
The option(s) best suited for your need
Logistics and next steps should you wish to proceed
Answer any questions you have
It may be helpful to know that I'm not a hard-seller. I don’t believe in it, actually.
You'll be welcome to enroll in coaching and reserve a coaching slot on this Exploratory call, but I will not pressure you to.
Promise.
