Build a consulting business you love with the LEAP Masterclass.

Join the LEAP Masterclass

Take your consulting business to the next level by joining the Build a Consulting Business You Love: The LEAP Masterclass.

This six-session mastermind class kick offs on October 8th, 2020, and will meet twice a month through December. Here are the topics Kris and Katie will guide you through:

Oct. 8: Finding Your Focus: Creating a Picture of Your Ideal Business

There are many reasons professionals build consulting businesses. They can include income, meaningful work, freedom & flexibility. Your reasons are unique – and so will your plan to get there. In this session, you’ll identify your specific goals and create a business model that helps you begin to build the business you want.

Oct. 22:  Upping Your Income: Finding Ways to Earn More and Work Less  

In this session, you will learn proven and practical ways to up your income potential WITHOUT working more hours. We will share five strategies you can use – and then help you find a path to realizing more earning power and more time freedom.

Nov. 5:  Reaching the Next Level: The Move from Tactical to Strategic

Chances are that you began your practice by being good at doing a particular thing. That’s great, but to grow your business you will want to make the move from being a “pair of hands” to your clients to becoming a trusted advisor. In this session, you’ll learn what clients pay for and how you can position yourself to do more strategic, meaningful and higher-paying work.

Nov. 19:  Sharpening Your Brand: Aligning your Brand to Your Ideal Business

Part of stepping up your business is communicating with authority who you are, what you do for clients, and why they would want to work with you. Now that you have your plan and goals, the time has come to ensure your marketing messages/materials are congruent with where you want to be, rather than where you are.

Dec. 3:  Scaling your Impact: Working with Others

There are multiple ways you can work with others as a consultant (very different than working FOR someone else). In this session, we will help you get clear about the options of hiring employees, using sub-contractors, being a sub-contractor, or forming collaborative groups. 

Dec. 17:  Capitalizing on Your Momentum: Continuing to Grow in Ways You Want

Continuing to shape your business in ways that serve you well is not a once and done event. In this session, you will assess your progress, determine your next steps, and walk away with an iterative process to continually keep your business fresh and relevant.

Since we last met, I've landed my biggest engagement to date (2-3x anything I've done so far) and have a much stronger pipeline than ever behind that. Kris and Katie both provided a lot of helpful tools and ideas, as well as a supportive network and confidence boost at just the right time to help set me up for success!

The Masterclass Experience

Each session is live with Kris and Katie. You will join peers across the county to learn practical content that will help you grow your practice. You will have access to tools & templates that you will be able to use over and over. Time in every session is devoted to processing and finding answers to real time issues. Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to build relationships with your peers in the class.
