Testimonials

Nicola K.

Nicola describes how she re-launched her independent consulting business after she'd learned several hard lessons in her first independent consulting business.

When Nicola was ready to restart her IC business, she knew she wanted to set her business off "right from the beginning" to avoid the mistakes she had made the first time around. 

She describes why she decided to hire Melisa, what the experience was like, and how she was able to transform her business into one that's predictable and systematized.

You can hear more of Nicola's experience on Episode 065 of the Grow Your Independent Consulting Business podcast.

LeAnne L.

When LeAnne decided to transition out of a consulting partnership into an independent consulting practice, LeAnne decided to hire Melisa to help launch her solo business.

She describes the individualized help from Melisa, who's "been there and done that as a consultant" and also how Melisa uses her intuition to recognize (and call out) the patterns that were getting LeAnne stuck.

Jim C.

Jim shares how he hired Melisa when he decided to leverage his 25 years as an internal consultant into running his own consulting business.

Rodney S.

Rodney describes how his consulting business was "going okay" but that it wasn't growing at the pace he wanted to grow. He had tried reading all the well-known books and implementing their frameworks but that approach made him feel overwhelmed and stuck in analysis paralysis.

Dr. Amy B.

Amy describes how she had reached a crossroads in her consulting business of 15 years. She was ready to make significant changes to her business model so that it's more profitable and sustainable. 

Amy shares how our work together led her to clarity about the business model, the action plan to transition her business, and guidance and a "thought partner" as she implemented the changes and experienced the resistance, second-guessing, and fear that comes with making this type of change to a business model.

Maria BT

Maria shares how working with Melisa helped her uncover the "world of possibilities" for her business, the potential she never realized was available to her.

She had been unknowningly replicating her past experiences into her business, and limiting her income and flexibility as a result.

Maria shares how her work with Melisa provided the systems, the mindset and the insight to make running her business easy and to break through the ceilings she'd hit in her business.

You can hear more of Maria's story in Episode 082 of the Grow Your Independent Consulting Business podcast.

Through coaching, Esperanza has shifted from "sloppy" to "certain and confident", she's charging 2x to 3x what she was less than a year ago.
