Have you been working for a social impact-focused organisation for several years but are now looking to take your own impact (and life) into your own hands? Are you looking to get more control and flexibility over your own work, impact, lifestyle, and income, whilst leveraging yourself to generate social impact for the world? And are you looking for a step-by-step two-hour workshop that gives you everything you need to get your first (or second, or third) consulting client?
If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then we'd love to help you through our IC-Hub Start-up Workshop.
About the workshop
Topic: IC-Hub Start-Up Workshop: How to Launch an Independent Social Impact Consulting Business (Step-by-Step)
Overview
In the two-hour live interactive session, we'll provide a brief (and frank!) overview of the opportunities in independent social impact consulting (the good and the bad!) and the factors that will help or hinder your social impact start-up.
The "meat" of the Start-up Workshop is a step-by-step guide on how to start your independent consulting practice, along with all the tools and resources you'll need to launch successfully. We've made a lot of mistakes along the way to developing our social impact consulting businesses (over the past 10+ years), so we want to help you shortcut your way to consulting success.
Workshop structure
Overview: Why this workshop. Who is it for. Learning objectives. What is a social impact consultant and what do you need to be one. Why become a consultant. What makes a "good consultant". How much do they earn. Employee-consultant differences.
