If this is roughly where you are

  • You are reading and watching everything and you still do not know where to start.
  • You know exactly how it works inside a company. You have a senior title. And outside, nobody knows who you are.
  • You keep chatting to Claude about your ideas and it cannot tell you what to do.
  • You have explored a few options and you are not sure what really moves the needle.

None of that is a discipline problem. It is what happens when nothing has been chosen yet.

The three questions we answer

  1. Where do I actually start? Not with your CV. With what people already come to you for, what you enjoy, and who would pay for it.
  2. What steps does it take to start a solo practice? The six steps of the S.I.M.P.L.E. Method, in order, and why you do not build them all at once.
  3. Where does AI actually help, and where can it not? Shown live on my own practice. It needs your context first, and the decision stays yours. Nobody builds anything.

You leave with one thing to test, and what you are doing this week to test it.

Save my seat

This is for you if:

You have fifteen years or more of real depth in something.

You are leaving corporate, or you have left.

You intend to sell what you know rather than take another job.

This is not for you if:

You are looking for your next role. That is The Next Move, one to one.

You are expecting me to build a business for you.

Who is running this

Sixteen years in banking, mostly in corporate technology HR, helping senior employees position for promotion & salary increases. Head of Technology HR at Credit Suisse, then technology reward at UBS, during the integration.

I did my Bachelors degree in Management and technology at the University of York, qualified as a chartered management accountant and completed the L7 Strategic HR diploma from CIPD. I also did the CIPD's AI for HR qualification because I wanted to know what I was talking about rather than repeat what I had read.

Then I left, and I could not answer a much simpler question than the ones I had been answering for a living. What do I sell, and who to.

This session is the part I wished someone had just told me.

I am not going to add anything to your list. Everything in this 90 minutes makes it shorter.

What working with me is like

I initially connected with Lisa because her insights on the challenges of the modern workplace resonated deeply with my own experience.

After decades in senior leadership, returning to the job market felt like navigating an entirely different world.

Lisa's guidance has been pivotal for me. She provided the frank, honest feedback I needed to successfully re-position my executive profile.

I worked with Lisa on a recent career move and I couldn't recommend her more. Her previous corporate experience combined with excellent coaching and mentoring skills add huge value for anyone taking and acting on a major career decision. I will also continue working with Lisa in my new role.

I'm currently working with Lisa as I navigate my next career move, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Drawing on her corporate experience and coaching skills, Lisa brings valuable insight, perspective, and guidance to important career decisions. Her attention to detail and clarity of vision are exceptional. I look forward to continuing to work with Lisa beyond this transition, as she has become a trusted partner in helping me shape and navigate my longer-term career path.
