The One Career Move That Changes Everything

The One Career Move That Changes Everything

I was a corporate HR person. I loved my job.?

I had no plan to change jobs and in fact, I stayed at that job until the company was sold and my job didn’t exist anymore.

But while I was there, I made a hugely significant career move that ended up changing my life in a big way.

Here’s what I did that shifted my career, my confidence and my future:?

I started consulting on the side.

It cost me nothing, only took a few hours out of my week and didn’t seem like a big deal at the time. I didn’t charge a huge fee for my consulting services because I only had four or five years of HR experience.

But nonetheless, I took the step of working for myself, part-time. I consulted alongside my full-time job - and taking that one step changed everything.?

There are only a few career moves that will make an immediate difference in your life and your income - and consulting on the side is the most important one.

It will make you more marketable.

It will increase your network.

It will make you more credible.

It will increase your confidence.

It will make you more valuable in the eyes of your boss.

It will open more doors than anything you’ve done in your career.

A lot of us have stopped working on all these things.

We’ve accepted the current status quo.

We’ve accepted that we’ll always be as marketable as we are, have the network that we have and be as credible as we are. We settle for the confidence we have.

But by doing this, we aren’t progressing!

Stepping out of your comfort zone, and valuing growth and expansion over fear and comfort is not optional anymore these days - it's required.

Someone else, somewhere in the world, is stepping into the highest version of themselves every day.

And today, I want to invite you to step into the highest version of yourself, too!

If you’re looking to take things to the next level in your life and career, have a look at this.


On May 16, I’m looking for 100 people to take through my Take Charge Consulting masterclass.

If that’s you, you will learn the number one skill that will take your career, income and life to the next level.

You can sign up here!

You’ll learn how to think, act and brand yourself as a consultant.

You’ll learn how to become an independent problem solver.

Someone who takes charge and knows how to solve big problems for companies and people.

This is the skill every business with a problem is looking for -? and it’s the skill that businesses will pay most for.

Whether you’re an intrapreneur, looking to work your way up to a higher-paying job, or you want to take full charge of your life and eventually become your own boss, you need to learn the skill of consulting.

This will help you in your current job and make your more valuable to your boss. It’s the number one skill that will result in promotions and raises more than anything else I’ve seen.

It will help you attract better opportunities at your current job, like promotions and raises.

In addition to the benefits you’ll reap in your current job, you can take on new clients on the side and increase your income.

So my question for you is:

Are you in?

If you’re interested in joining the Take Charge Consulting program, get on the waitlist.

Yes, I love the way you have really 'explained a full and complete story of consulting on the side', Liz Ryan. Really good stuff. Indeed, I agree that taking the step, to consult on the side, can really help individuals, in the process of weeding out the rest, and finding their 'authentic' selves. As you also mentioned, this process of moving towards their 'authentic' selves, will also help them build more focused and 'lasting relationships', with people who 'genuinely resonate' with this 'authentic' version of themselves. Hopefully, this will also lead to all parties mentioned above, becoming 'mutual ambassadors' of each other too. Funny thing is I have actually written an article on similar themes in my Newsletter, which can be found at the link below, for those who keen to check it out: https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/brand-authenticity-higher-education-part-2-3-kenneth-ponnu-fmhkc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&utm_campaign=share_via

A very true and poignant reminder indeed for the audience here, Liz. Thank you! Consulting on the side, in conjunction with your full-time role, is a great first step—because it is like planting a seed that you can water and nourish across time; until it is ready to blossom into a new full-time venture in and of itself! :) Please do keep up the wonderful and empowering work hereafter & into the future! ??
