1. We've become the first CPD accredited UK HR consultants' programme!

   Posted on 11:00am Wednesday 29th Jun 2022

   

   Do you know what CPD stands for?

   As an HR professional, you will either be a member of the CIPD or have attended training workshops or events with them. They are the good standards mark for HR, well-being and people related industry. Being a member shows you invest in your future, keep up to date with the latest developments in your field of expertise and are focus driven to continuous learn and develop, to be the best that you can be.  

   We believe that our Bootcamp Plus and Bootcamp Flex fit perfectly into the above, and therefore we applied to the CPD Standards Office to be accredited.  

   I’m delighted to say that this week we have received official notification that our Bootcamps are now CPD accredited. This is a huge achievement for everyone involved.  This truly demonstrates that we provide training you can trust. 

   I am also honoured to report that we are also the very first HR consulting programme in the UK to be awarded this accreditation. 

2. Over to you !

   What if I were to tell you I can pinpoint the one thing that is stopping your business from reaching new heights?

   Better still, what if I can tell you what you need to do to overcome it? And that by doing so you can build your business in ways you had never imagined?

   You would want to know the answer, right?

   Truth be told, the answer is simple.

   The one thing that is holding your business back and getting in the way of its success is…you!

3. Graduate Bootcamper Julia Crawford Embraces new Challenges

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 2nd Jul 2021

   Julia is a Graduate from my Leap into HR Consulting Bootcamp. She has worked in a number of industries but for the last 14 years she has worked in the public sector. As well as being an HR consultant, she currently still works part time as head of HR for an HR shared service.
   
   I asked Julia ....

   Why did you decide to move into consulting?

   I have been within the same sector for a long time as it has been a fantastic opportunity to grow my career whilst being flexible enough to manage family life as well.

4. 40 dreams become a reality. Why the work I do has never meant more to me.

   Posted on 12:00pm Saturday 24th Oct 2020

    

    

   

   So far in 2020, I’ve supported more than 40 small businesses to set up. Which is no small feat, especially during a year like this one.

   I’ve always loved what I do; taking people through the steps to make their dreams a reality. But in 2020, my work means more to me than ever before.

   There are many reasons that these 40 people contacted me and decided to work with me to make it happen. 

   Whatever the reasons, it matters. Especially when it comes to small businesses. Because behind each of these decisions, and each of the subsequent businesses that has emerged, is a person.

   That’s 40 individual people, with 40 different wishes and 40 different experiences that are today living 40 different dreams.

   I love knowing I’ve made a positive difference - not only to their businesses - but to their lives, and to the lives of their loved ones.

   This is what gives me my get-up-and-go. These are the people who give me my motivation, my job satisfaction, and my reason to get up in the morning.

   I’ve always loved what I do, but in 2020 it feels just that little bit more important.

   With this in mind, I wondered how I could extend my experience, knowledge and skills to others. As far as I’m concerned, the more people I’m able to help live their dream life, the better.

   Especially at a time like this.

   During 2019, I’d been writing a book to reach a wider group of people, and to help them live their dreams by taking the Leap into HR Consulting™. But truth be told, it’s not easy to write a book and I’d put it off in favour of all manner of distractions….

   But as 2020 continued to hit us all, I set myself a challenge to finish it. And many words later (with many late nights to get me there), I’ve managed it.

   The Leap into HR Consulting™ book is (nearly!) here. It’s with my publishers as we speak and it available to pre-order from next Monday (October 5th, 2020).

   In it, you’ll find 306 pages of practical advice to accelerate your success as you make the Leap into Consulting™.

   I’m so pleased to be able to share this with you all. Here’s to empowering many more dreams ahead!

5. How you can run a successful business in just 6 weeks

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 9th Jul 2020

   

   
   As we cross the 6-month mark of 2020, it’s fair to say that so far, it’s been a year none of us could ever have anticipated.

   As a business owner, or someone wanting to start a new business, you probably haven’t found yourself in the same place as your New Year plans expected.

   But don’t give up hope just yet, we still have half a year to turn things around.

   Early on in lockdown I ran a 6 week, fast-track, Virtual HR Bootcamp. It was the first time I’d run the course virtually, following many successful face-to-face Bootcamps, and it was aimed at helping HR professionals to make their Consulting business a reality.

   I’m so pleased to say that it was a huge success so I’ve decided to run another!

   Why join my 6 weeks, fast-track, virtual HR Bootcamp?

   Six weeks is all it will take to turn your life around and become the boss of not only your business, but also your life.

   • Maybe you want to do it so you can spend more time with your family?
   • Maybe you’re dreading the return to #officelife and want to continue to work from home?
   • Maybe some time away from day-to-day operations have shown you that there is another way and you want in?
   • Maybe you want to work less, but earn more money? (let’s be honest - who doesn’t want this?!)

   My Virtual HR Bootcamp will help you achieve all of the above in just 6 weeks.

   In it you’ll:

   • Create clarity around your services and products;
   • Grow in confidence as you realise that you can make this happen;
   • Discover the tools and knowledge to find - and win - new clients;
   • Gain access to growth accelerators; providing you with new income streams;
   • Join a community of like-minded Consultants to work and grow with, beyond the Bootcamp;
   • Have with a 90-day Accountability Plan and ongoing support;
   • Be motivated to take action.

   At the end of 6 weeks you’ll understand:

   • How to find ongoing clients that you love to work with;
   • How to price yourself sustainably (work smarter, not harder);
   • How to build a life that works for you;
   • How to build a healthy, profitable business;
   • How to make consulting work for you.

   Why now?

   I have even more good news for you!

   Businesses are screaming out for HR consultants at the moment. In-house HR teams have been mainly focussed on the ramifications of COVID-19 for the last few months. While obviously very important, it doesn’t mean all other operations have ceased, so there is plenty to be done.

   Which makes this the perfect time to start your own HR Consultancy business. Make it one that is up, running and ready to jump at all the opportunities in just 6 weeks time.

   Are you up for this life-changing challenge? Register your interest here. 

   I hope to see you in August! 

   HR Bootcamp - Perfect if you need that final push to follow your dream

   "I would absolutely recommend the Virtual HR Bootcamp if you are thinking about setting yourself up as a consultant or you have been going for a while and need to refocus. I was a bit dubious about how much I would get from the course given that I had just had a coaching session with Sarah and had been given LOADS of hints and tips. However I have met some absolutely fab people who I would like to stay in contact with. I thought being a consultant would be lonely and I wouldn't have much support but I actually feel more connected and supported by this group than my own current employer".
