029: Preparing Your Consulting Business For The Next Phase

Jun 8, 2020

As the UK makes a tentative return to work and school, we’re starting to wonder what the next phase looks like for our businesses.

In this episode I’m looking at the transition into the next phase of working, especially if you’re accustomed to working in close proximity to your client, working in their office, travelling to meet them in person, or delivering events in person. This is a huge thing for a lot of consultants, especially in the HR space, but also health and wellbeing and some of those connected services.

In this episode I explore:

• Why business consultants are especially well equipped to handle this new never-experienced-before phase of working life.
• The surprising early feedback I’ve received to my survey of independent consultants.
• Four essential questions you ask yourself to prepare for a successful transition to this new phase of socially distant / remote working.

Bring a notepad and pen - you’ll want to write these questions down so you can journal on them later, and unlock a whole raft of possibilities and opportunities.

Here’s the survey mentioned in the episode - I would love your input on your experience of running a consulting business now (no matter how new or established, or what your current revenue is) - your answers will help me shape my future podcasts, newsletters and offers.
