WELCOME TO CONSULTANTS OF CHOICE
Run a successful consulting business and radically transform your life
You’re an experienced expert who’s worked in business or the public sector for at least a decade.
You do great work. You’re well-connected. You care about the people you work with and your impact on the world.
But you’re sick of working for someone else, and you’re frustrated by bureaucracy and corporate bullsh*t.
Employment isn’t looking like such a ‘safe’ choice any more - not with this many redundancies and restructures.
You believe you can find more meaning, fulfilment, and financial reward working for yourself as a consultant.
You’re right. You can. Consultants of Choice is here to help you do it with coaching, curriculum and community to support you every step of the way. Welcome.
“I can't recommend Consultants of Choice highly enough. If you are building your consulting practice, this is the place for you.”

Is Consultants of Choice right for you?
We have a terrifically diverse community at all stages of their consulting journey - from maybe, to newbie, to pro! Our members tend to belong to one of these broad categories:
You’re already consulting, and need some help.
You’re doing OK, but you suspect there’s an easier way, and you’re unsure about a few things - is your offer right? Are you charging enough?
You might be more of a contractor than a consultant and still feel like an employee. Overall, you’d love some support and guidance - and to no longer do it alone.
You’re heading out on your own, for the first time.
You’ve been considering starting your own consulting business for a while.
Maybe you’re at a crossroads in your career and thinking about your next step. Perhaps you’ve dipped your toe into consulting a couple of times but keep returning to your job. You need a boost to make the big leap!
You’re planning for the future and consulting is a goal.
Right now, you’re employed but your long-term goal is to run your own consultancy business and you want to start building foundations.
Plus, you know bringing a consulting mindset to your workplace will lead to you doing better work, having more influence, and earning more.
You’re a lifelong learner looking for community and new ideas.
Your business is doing great, and you’re a learning junkie who likes to push yourself constantly.
You love connecting with like-minded people and are keen to learn a few new moves because you know even good businesses can always be better.
“I had a nagging feeling that I needed a stronger community around me to test ideas and blow off steam with. When Alicia set up Consultants of Choice, I saw the opportunity to leverage her expertise and experience to use as a rocket to propel me further.”

INSIGHT TO ACTION CONSULTING
Only 25% of the people reading this will do the work to succeed… are you one?
You’ll get the most out of this programme if you are:
Someone who takes action
You’ll only get value from this if you take the framework and resources and use them. To be successful as a consultant, you need a certain level of self-motivation, or you won’t get by.
Not a complete newbie to self-employment
You're already on your way, but you need a hand. You’re keen to get clearer on your value proposition, refine your offer, and tighten your sales process.
A motivated self starter
You want to get on and do your own thing. You don’t need someone to hold your hand. You like asking the community questions, experimenting, and adapting recommendations to work for you.
Inspired by the success of others
You see other people’s wins as something to celebrate and learn from.
Accelerate your business with practical, immediately usable tools and frameworks
Consultants have a lot of jobs to do in their business - you’re the marketer, salesperson, administration officer, and web designer - as well as doing the work!
We make your job easier. We’ve thought about the jobs you need to get done and developed valuable tools, templates and resources for every step.
