  • The Moment Everything Clicked for Paul Neal
    Dec 5 2025

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Paul Neal, from Verdant Purpose HR.

    An HR consultant who went from posting, hoping and winging it to finally building a consultancy he could rely on.

    When Paul first came to me, he was doing what most HR consultants quietly end up doing:

    • Posting on LinkedIn when he remembered

    • Taking the odd referral

    • Trying to be consistent without any real structure

    • Wondering why everything still felt unpredictable

    He wasn’t doing anything “wrong”… he just didn’t have a system that actually worked.

    In this conversation, Paul shares the exact moment everything clicked — the moment he stopped winging it, narrowed his niche, plugged in a simple, controlled funnel, and finally started feeling confident about where his next clients were coming from.

    We talk about:

    • The mistakes almost every HR consultant makes at the start
    • How Paul realised he was building his business backwards
    • Why “generic HR content” was killing his engagement
    • The mindset shift that changed how he sold his services
    • The sales call that closed in 7 minutes
    • How niching into charities transformed his clarity and results
    • Why a predictable pipeline gave him the confidence to think bigger

    If you’ve ever thought “I should be further ahead by now” or “I’m doing all the things but nothing feels predictable,” this episode will feel like looking in a mirror.

    Paul’s story is proof that when you add structure, clarity and a simple system — everything changes.

    👉 Listen now and see what’s possible for your own consultancy.

  • How Lucia Went from Feast-and-Famine to a Predictable HR Consultancy
    Dec 3 2025

    If you’re an HR Consultant who’s tired of the feast-and-famine cycle — one month fully booked, the next wondering where the next client will come from — this episode is going to feel like a turning point.

    In this conversation, Lucia shares how she went from “no idea where my next client is coming from” to building a predictable, confidence-boosting pipeline that works quietly in the background while she gets on with client work.

    Here’s what you’ll take away:

    • Why relying on referrals and hope keeps so many HR Consultants stuck — and why Lucia felt that panic of “nothing on the horizon” before working with me.
    • The simple shifts she made that turned overwhelm into clarity and gave her a clear, repeatable plan for finding clients.
    • How building her first funnel (and later, her own ads) changed the way she thought about marketing forever.
    • Why predictability isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing the right things in the right order.
    • How having structure, support, and accountability helped her finally stop winging it and start growing with intention.
    • The surprising confidence that comes from knowing you can turn leads on and off whenever you need to.

    If you’re done with guessing, done with waiting, and done with feeling like you’re “one dry month away” from panic…

    Lucia’s story will show you what becomes possible once you finally have a system you can trust.

    Tune in — this might be the moment everything clicks.

  • How Colour Profiling Helps You Stand Out From the Crowd and Win More Clients
    Nov 26 2025

    If you’re an HR Consultant who wants to offer something your competitors don’t, something that instantly makes clients trust you more and rely on you more… this episode is for you.

    I sat down with Tom Vivace — People expert, L&D specialist, and Founder of Viva People — to unpack why colour profiling is one of the simplest commercial advantages any HR consultant can add to their business.

    In this conversation, you’ll hear:

    • Why colour profiling cuts through drama and turns complex behaviour into a simple, shared language.
    • How it helps you diagnose problems before they become grievances.
    • Why it’s easier to sell than you think — and why clients usually refer you after doing it.
    • How you can use it to coach leaders, build better teams, and add real value to every proposal.
    • The truth about natural vs. adapted behaviour, and why understanding both changes the way you work.

    So if you want a simple, affordable, high-impact service that helps you stand out from every other HR consultant… tune in.

    This might be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

  • What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
    Nov 23 2025

    We all want things to move forward — more income, stronger relationships, better health, a business that feels easier and more rewarding.

    But here’s the simple truth: You don’t get new results by doing the same old things.

    Most people try to upgrade their life while keeping everything else the same — same habits, same prices, same routines, same thinking. Then they wonder why nothing shifts.

    In this Sunday Session, I’m exploring why what got you here won’t get you there — and why growth only happens when you’re willing to evolve.

    We dig into everything from maintaining your health and relationships to the mindset shift needed to go from £100K to £200K — because you can’t network your way to the next level. At some point, you need a new approach.

    You’ll hear a simple analogy about a new-build house losing its shine, and how it perfectly mirrors what happens when we stop improving ourselves.

    So tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: What needs to change if you want things to change?

    Because how we change… is how we grow.

  • The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Consistent Clients
    Nov 19 2025

    If you’re an HR Consultant who’s doing all the right things — posting, networking, sending the odd newsletter — yet still wondering why the consistent clients aren’t showing up…

    This episode is going to be a breath of fresh air.

    In this episode, you’ll finally understand why all your effort hasn’t turned into predictable leads, clients, sales and profits — and what needs to be in place so it does.

    Here’s what you’ll discover:

    • Why the tasks you’re relying on (like LinkedIn and networking) can only take you so far — and what they can’t ever do for you.
    • How small changes in structure make a bigger difference than posting every day or chasing random “visibility hacks.”
    • What the most successful HR Consultants focus on instead of likes, comments, or networking events.
    • Where your best clients really come from — and why your current approach may be pointing you in the wrong direction.
    • When everything starts to click (and why it feels easier once you understand the hidden missing piece).

    If you’re tired of guessing, tired of hustling, and tired of wondering why “doing more” isn’t giving you more clients…

    This episode could change the way you see your consultancy overnight.

    Tune in — you might just discover the shift you’ve been looking for.

    And if you want to go deeper on this topic then make sure to join me on 2 December for my free event: One Funnel, Endless Leads, where I’ll show you the simple structure behind getting clients on repeat — without relying on luck, referrals, or posting every day.

  • The Uncomfortable Truth About Having A Great Life
    Nov 16 2025

    We all want a great life — more clients, more income, more freedom, more joy.

    But here’s the uncomfortable truth: you don’t get any of it without taking massive action.

    Most people underestimate the sheer volume of effort required to build a business, create opportunities, and change their circumstances. They take small steps… then wonder why nothing big happens.

    In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why massive action is the real separator — the difference between staying stuck and creating the life you dream about.

    You’ll hear how consistent, relentless action helped me run a 10K in under 45 minutes, and how that same principle applies directly to your HR consultancy.

    So tune in, get inspired, and start taking the kind of action that leads to more clients, more momentum, and a better life.
