Transforming Into a Boutique Consultancy with Tradewinds Leadership

We dove into an insightful conversation on creating a consulting company that addresses leadership, mental health, and communication with Melisa Liberman of the Grow Your Independent Consulting Business.

We talked about what it takes to make the jump and go out on your own—and how to do it together as partners. Leaning into our skills in communication and emotional intelligence, we discuss how to find a balance between our individual skill sets and the importance of niching down and finding your target audience.

Combining Stephen’s boots-on-the-ground experience and Olivia’s background in corporate business analysis, they bring two worlds together to meet the challenges of creating their own consultancy and doing it in a way that helps them both thrive..

"Once I realized the specific area I wanted to focus my enegry on, I knew where to point it. I had a target that I could actually aim at. Often times in facilitations, we'll say 'aim at nothing at you'll hit it everytime'. That was me before, I didn't know where to focus all this energy, passion and purpose that I have. " – Stephen Dummit
