Build confidence as an independent HR consultant! Overcome self-doubt, show up authentically & grow your business with practical strategies.
You know all the HR stuff; you’ve been doing it for long enough. And you love the freedom and variety that working as an independent gives you.
What you don’t love is all the stuff that comes with being a business owner. Marketing, branding, sales – all the things that someone else used to do when you were in corporate. Now it’s just you. You know these tasks are essential, but you’ll often find yourself hesitating, overthinking or avoiding them altogether.
There’s plenty of training and resources out there to help you with the technical skills of being a business owner. But what they’re missing is how to overcome the self-doubt and lack of confidence you’re experiencing now that you’re the one responsible for everything.
Using a unique confidence framework, in this session you’ll gain a clear understanding of what’s stopping you from showing up confidently and take away practical strategies to build your confidence as an awesome business owner.
By becoming a more confident business owner, you’ll attract more clients, grow your income and build a thriving consultancy – without feeling overwhelmed or inauthentic. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow, you’ll leave with a new toolkit to take your confidence, and your consultancy, to new heights.
With over 20 years of HR experience—and the last six as an independent consultant—Siân knows exactly what it takes to transition from in-house HR professional to successful business owner. Alongside building her own consultancy, she has established herself as a Confidence Coach, helping HR professionals overcome self-doubt, silence their inner critic, and develop the confidence to showcase their expertise, communicate their value, and step into new opportunities.
Using her unique confidence-building framework, Siân provides practical strategies and mindset shifts to help her clients step forward with clarity, conviction, and credibility. Her approach ensures that confidence isn’t just something you project—it’s something you truly own.
