The Moment Everything Clicked for Paul Neal
vendredi 5 décembre 2025 • Duration 43:10
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Paul Neal, from Verdant Purpose HR.
An HR consultant who went from posting, hoping and winging it to finally building a consultancy he could rely on.
When Paul first came to me, he was doing what most HR consultants quietly end up doing:
• Posting on LinkedIn when he remembered
• Taking the odd referral
• Trying to be consistent without any real structure
• Wondering why everything still felt unpredictable
He wasn’t doing anything “wrong”… he just didn’t have a system that actually worked.
In this conversation, Paul shares the exact moment everything clicked — the moment he stopped winging it, narrowed his niche, plugged in a simple, controlled funnel, and finally started feeling confident about where his next clients were coming from.
We talk about:
• The mistakes almost every HR consultant makes at the start
• How Paul realised he was building his business backwards
• Why “generic HR content” was killing his engagement
• The mindset shift that changed how he sold his services
• The sales call that closed in 7 minutes
• How niching into charities transformed his clarity and results
• Why a predictable pipeline gave him the confidence to think bigger
If you’ve ever thought “I should be further ahead by now” or “I’m doing all the things but nothing feels predictable,” this episode will feel like looking in a mirror.
Paul’s story is proof that when you add structure, clarity and a simple system — everything changes.
👉 Listen now and see what’s possible for your own consultancy.

Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator Worth The Investment?
mercredi 5 novembre 2025 • Duration 10:03
If you’ve ever wondered whether LinkedIn Sales Navigator is worth paying for as a self-employed HR Consultant… this episode is for you.
Because in this episode, I break down when Sales Navigator can genuinely help you win more work… and when it quietly keeps you stuck in feast-and-famine mode.
Because the truth is:
Sales Navigator can be great — but only under the right conditions.
And if you want consistent, predictable lead flow, there’s something even more important you need in place first.
Here are five things you’ll discover in this episode:
- Why Sales Navigator works for some HR Consultants — but not for most
- How missing something vital can actually turn Sales Navigator into an expensive time-waster
- When manual outreach is perfectly fine… and when it becomes your biggest bottleneck
- Why you should avoid Sales Navigator if you want to avoid feast and famine - and what you should do instead
- How to think about lead generation so clients come in even when you’re not online
So if you’ve ever felt unsure about whether Sales Navigator is worth the money… or you’re tired of guessing how to get consistent clients… this episode will give you clarity.

If you've been in an organisation and seen discontent between 2 or more people (and let's be honest, who hasn't?) but not been entirely sure on how to resolve the situation... then this podcast is for you.
We hear from mediation expert consultant, Emma Jenkings on...
- How to spot the grumbling of discontent BEFORE that grievance hit your desk.
- The key steps to take in ANY mediation situation - so you can handle any and every complaint that comes your way (or at least know what you're looking for if you're considering hiring an external resource)
- Why an external meditation is often BETTER than an internal mediator - and gets the best reconciliation for all parties.
- What to aim for in a mediation meeting (and it ISN'T for everyone to be friends and shake hands).
- What mediation ACTUALLY is - and what it isn't.
So tune in today if you want to understand how to handle disgruntled employees so you get a better working environment with more productivity... and avoid sweeping the situation under the carpet because that just won't help anyone.

5 CRAZY Reasons Why You Aren’t Charging Enough for Your HR Services
mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Duration 24:01
Pricing can be a confusing topic when you first go self-employed.
Deciding what to charge… whether people will pay your fees or not… and whether you’re actually worth what you want to charge…
Pricing is a minefield that nobody prepares you for when you go self-employed.
But just like for EVERY OTHER business out there, pricing is important.
Charge too little, and you may feel resentful of the client.
Charge too much, and you won’t get the work.
So, where’s the middle ground?
Well, that’s what we’re gonna discuss on today’s episode where you’ll discover.
👉 Why lowering your prices might make it harder to get clients - rather than easier.
👉 The hidden psychological barriers that can lead to you to massively undercharge for your services.
👉 How trying to charge the same as your competitors can mislead you into undervaluing your services.
👉 3 simple strategies for helping you set prices that reflect your worth… and your clients will be happy to pay.
👉 When to get feedback on the work you’ve completed - and what to do with that feedback so you can confidently charge higher prices and get more clients.
So check out this episode to discover all this and more.
