  • 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.

  • Why Most HR Consultants Make Business Way Harder Than It Needs To Be
    Nov 12 2025

    Most HR consultants aren’t building the business of their dreams because they’re bad at HR…

    They’re struggling because they’re building their business on random tactics instead of a simple, reliable system.

    In this episode, I break down why your consultancy might feel chaotic — one month busy, the next dead — and the core shift that makes growth calmer, clearer, and far more predictable.

    You’ll hear how I used to run my business on “hope + hustle,” why it kept me stuck in feast-and-famine, and the mindset change that helped me finally take control of my pipeline.

    We’ll talk about:

    • The hidden cost of “doing a bit of everything”
    • Why posts, networking, and referrals aren’t enough
    • What consistent consultants do differently
    • The 3 facts that actually drive growth
    • How to move from chasing clients → choosing them

    If you’re tired of guessing, overthinking, and refreshing LinkedIn hoping for enquiries… this one’s for you.

    And if you want to go deeper, 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 Boring Move That Actually Solves Your Biggest Problems
    Nov 9 2025

    Most people think the answer to their problems is to work harder — post more, say yes more, push through.

    But the truth is, reacting like this keeps you stuck. And most problems have an upstream cause, with small solutions that fix them better than last-minute effort.

    In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing a quick story on why “walking upstream” beats firefighting, how it shows up at work and at home, and a simple way to install one quiet system in each.

    So tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: where are you repeatedly firefighting — and what’s one upstream fix you can put in your diary this week?

  • Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator Worth It?
    Nov 5 2025

    If you’ve ever wondered whether LinkedIn Sales Navigator is worth paying for as a self-employed HR Consultant… this episode is for you.

    Because in this episode, I break down when Sales Navigator can genuinely help you win more work… and when it quietly keeps you stuck in feast-and-famine mode.

    Because the truth is:

    Sales Navigator can be great — but only under the right conditions.

    And if you want consistent, predictable lead flow, there’s something even more important you need in place first.

    Here are five things you’ll discover in this episode:

    • Why Sales Navigator works for some HR Consultants — but not for most
    • How missing something vital can actually turn Sales Navigator into an expensive time-waster
    • When manual outreach is perfectly fine… and when it becomes your biggest bottleneck
    • Why you should avoid Sales Navigator if you want to avoid feast and famine - and what you should do instead
    • How to think about lead generation so clients come in even when you’re not online

    So if you’ve ever felt unsure about whether Sales Navigator is worth the money… or you’re tired of guessing how to get consistent clients… this episode will give you clarity.

  • How Scheduling Builds the Business (and Life) You Actually Want
    Nov 2 2025

    Everyone wants to get more done — but without a schedule, that’s not necessarily going to happen.

    The truth is, if it isn’t in your diary, it isn’t real. “Someday” never arrives — but Tuesday at 10am does.

    In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why scheduling is one of the simplest yet most powerful habits for creating progress — in your business and your life.

    You’ll hear how a classic Yale study proved that people who make concrete plans are nine times more likely to follow through, and how you can use that same principle to build momentum every week.

    So tune in, grab your calendar, and start turning good intentions into real results.

  • Funnels: How to Take Control of Your Lead Gen and Your Client Growth
    Oct 29 2025

    If you’re an HR Consultant who wants control over your lead gen and your client acquisition—without living on LinkedIn or dragging yourself to every breakfast networking meeting under the sun—this episode is for you.

    I’m breaking down funnels in plain English: what they are, why they give you an on-demand pipeline, and how to build one that brings clients, sales, and profit when you decide—not when luck shows up.

    You’ll see how to replace hit-and-hope with a simple, repeatable system that helps you stand out from the crowd of other HR Consultants and scale your business with confidence.

    In this conversation, you’ll...

    • Discover the “toe-dip first” approach that turns strangers into prospects so you don't waste your precious ad spend.
    • Uncover the tiny page change that encourages sign-ups WITHOUT rebuilding your whole website.
    • See the easiest way to keep in touch with all your leads, clients and prospects so they remember you in under half an hour a week.
    • Learn the few numbers that put you in charge of your funnel outcomes without any guesswork or overwhelm.
    • Grasp how to turn traffic into booked calls without endless manual outreach.

    Want a step-by-step process you can plug-in to your business? Then join my mailing list to catch my upcoming webinar where I go deeper into building a funnel that works.

    Or, if you’ve heard enough already and want this in your business ASAP, DM me on LinkedIn and we’ll check if you're a fit for the Success Squad or the Fastlane Formula.

    Either way, enjoy the show!

  • Why Failure Might Be the Best Thing for You
    Oct 26 2025

    Nobody likes failing. But what if failure wasn’t the end of the story?

    The truth is, every misstep gives you feedback you can use — insight into what didn’t work, and a clearer path to what will.

    In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing how to see failure as tuition rather than punishment, with lessons from sales calls that didn’t convert, campaigns that flopped, and stories from Edison, Jordan, and Mel Robbins.

    So tune in, reflect, and give yourself permission to treat every failure as a step forward, not a setback.
