One-to-One Private Advisory
You’re ready to work independently. Now you need a way into the market.
Private, 12-week advisory
Where you are now
You may still be employed, weighing when to leave. Or you may already have left and realised that an impressive career doesn’t automatically bring the first client conversation. Either way, you’re not looking for another exercise in describing your experience. You want to work out what you can be hired for, and start pursuing it.
You can probably name several kinds of work you could do. That’s part of the difficulty. There’s no shortage of possibilities, but no clear decision about which one to lead with, who would buy it or what you’d say when someone asks, “So what are you doing now?”
You may be telling people you’re “open to fractional opportunities” while privately wondering what a business would actually pay you to take responsibility for. Or you may be waiting until the offer, LinkedIn profile and website feel finished before you start the conversations that would tell you whether the idea holds up.
We don’t need to make a guess look polished. We need to decide what is worth taking to market, then learn from what happens.
How the 12 weeks work
This isn’t twelve weeks spent preparing a business on paper. We work from your experience towards a specific kind of engagement you can pursue, then use actual conversations to see where the opportunity is.
01
Decide what you want to be brought in for.
We look at the decisions you’ve made, the situations you know how to handle and the work you’d want to do again. We narrow that experience to a credible direction for independent work, rather than trying to sell your whole career at once.
02
Work out where someone would pay for it.
We identify the businesses and decision-makers who may face that problem, what would make it pressing enough to seek outside help, and whether your experience fits what they need. That gives the offer a buyer and a reason to exist, not just a description of your strengths.
03
Define the engagement.
We turn the direction into something a client could actually commission: what you would take responsibility for, what you would deliver, how closely you would work with them, where the boundaries sit and what you would charge. That might be fractional leadership, advisory or a defined consulting project; we don’t choose the label before the work.
04
Make the move visible and start testing it.
We make sure the way you introduce yourself, your professional presence and the conversations you initiate all point towards that engagement. You take it to relevant people; I help you prepare, make sense of the response and adjust what isn’t landing.
What it’s like to work with me
I don’t hand you a template and ask you to fit your career into it. I listen closely, challenge what isn’t clear, help you make the commercial decisions and stay alongside you while you put them to use. You do the reaching out and the conversations; I guide, advise and help you adjust.
As Dannique put it:
“Rather than giving me a ready set strategy to follow, she helped me create my own and advised on its implementation.”
