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.

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.

And if you want to get in touch with Emma her website is here.

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.

Cold calling gets a bad rep. And I get it, no-one enjoys getting calls out of the blue.

Especially in today’s day and age when everyone just texts.

Worse still, cold calling probably makes you feel a touch awkward… your mum warned you not to talk to strangers so cold calling goes against your nature… and you completely panic at the very idea of calling someone.

But here’s the thing:

Cold calling gets leads and clients much faster than any method of lead gen out there.

You speak to your target audience and get a Yes or a No in seconds.

But how do you make sure you get more “yes’s”...?

How do you get over the fear of picking up the phone?

And how do you turn cold calling from something you hate into your business’s biggest source of leads, clients and profit?

That’s exactly what we cover in this episode.

You’ll get the “Perfect Cold Calling” script that gets meetings booked in your diary… avoids no-shows… and generates cash on-demand.

You’ll also discover:

👉 Why cold calling is actually the best ways of getting leads and clients for your HR Consultancy.

👉 The THREE simple things that’ll keep you consistent with your cold calling efforts.

👉 What to do when you inevitably speak to that 1 in a 100 person who's rude to you.

👉 Where to find an abundance of people in your niche to cold call.

👉 How to cold call so people are open to talking to you.

👉 It's OK to listen to that voice in your head that tells you not to cold call, right? WRONG. And for a very simple reason.

👉 PLUS, a quick review of the script I've shared from my book, The Complete Guide to Building a £70K HR Consultancy and why it works so effectively.

Everyone wants to get more done — but without a schedule, that’s not necessarily going to happen.

The truth is, if it isn’t in your diary, it isn’t real. “Someday” never arrives — but Tuesday at 10am does.

In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why scheduling is one of the simplest yet most powerful habits for creating progress — in your business and your life. 

You’ll hear how a classic Yale study proved that people who make concrete plans are nine times more likely to follow through, and how you can use that same principle to build momentum every week.

So tune in, grab your calendar, and start turning good intentions into real results.

I'm keeping things simple though and share 3 things I don't like and 3 things I really do like.

Life as a digital nomad isn't drinking cocktails whilst lounging in a hammock... but nor have I had to put up with the British winter... Swings and roundabouts, I guess.

So, listen in for 3 things that are great and 3 things you might be surprised by.

If you’re an HR Consultant who wants control over your lead gen and your client acquisition—without living on LinkedIn or dragging yourself to every breakfast networking meeting under the sun—this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down funnels in plain English: what they are, why they give you an on-demand pipeline, and how to build one that brings clients, sales, and profit when you decide—not when luck shows up. 

You’ll see how to replace hit-and-hope with a simple, repeatable system that helps you stand out from the crowd of other HR Consultants and scale your business with confidence.

In this conversation, you’ll...

• Discover the “toe-dip first” approach that turns strangers into prospects so you don't waste your precious ad spend.
• Uncover the tiny page change that encourages sign-ups WITHOUT rebuilding your whole website.
• See the easiest way to keep in touch with all your leads, clients and prospects so they remember you in under half an hour a week.
• Learn the few numbers that put you in charge of your funnel outcomes without any guesswork or overwhelm.
• Grasp how to turn traffic into booked calls without endless manual outreach.

Want a step-by-step process you can plug-in to your business? Then join my mailing list to catch my upcoming webinar where I go deeper into building a funnel that works. 

Or, if you’ve heard enough already and want this in your business ASAP, DM me on LinkedIn and we’ll check if you're a fit for the Success Squad or the Fastlane Formula.

Nobody likes failing. But what if failure wasn’t the end of the story?

The truth is, every misstep gives you feedback you can use — insight into what didn’t work, and a clearer path to what will. 

In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing how to see failure as tuition rather than punishment, with lessons from sales calls that didn’t convert, campaigns that flopped, and stories from Edison, Jordan, and Mel Robbins.

So tune in, reflect, and give yourself permission to treat every failure as a step forward, not a setback.

I was recently asked if I only help HR consultants with LinkedIn and email marketing.

And honestly — it shook me.

Turns out… maybe it isn’t.

To share my philosophy for building a successful HR consultancy.

So if you’ve ever wondered what I stand for, why I say the things I do, or how my clients build predictable, profitable businesses — this is the episode to listen to.

Most people think comparison is harmless — just a quick glance at how others are doing.

But the truth is, measuring your progress against someone else’s highlight reel can quietly rob you of joy, focus, and confidence.

In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why comparison is poison, how it shows up for HR consultants, and the simple shift that frees you to focus on your own lane and your own growth.

So tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: where are you comparing right now — and how can you turn that energy into progress?

Your marketing can look busy — posts, calls, networking, content — but how do you really know if it’s working?

In this week’s episode, I unpack LAPS — the four numbers that tell the truth about your business: Leads, Appointments, Presentations, and Sales.

Because if you’re not tracking these, you’re guessing. And guessing is the fastest way to stay stuck.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• The simple tracking system every consultant needs to spot what’s working (and what’s not)
• How one HR consultant used her numbers to catch a drop in conversions before it hurt her income
• The “Black Friday” mindset that shows why every serious business measures success
• How to turn your marketing from a mystery into a measurable plan
• The exact LAPS targets to hit if you want a predictable £70K+ consultancy

By the end, you’ll know exactly what to measure, why it matters, and how to use your data to make confident business decisions — not emotional guesses.

And if you’d like to cement what you learn today, go and read the chapter about it in The Complete Guide to Building a £70K HR Consultancy: https://theinfluentialconsultant.co.uk/the-complete-guide-to-building-a-70k-hr-consultancy/

Everyone says they’re busier than ever. But are we really?

The truth is, most of what we call “busy” is just distraction dressed up as productivity.
 In this Sunday Session, I’m exploring why busyness often hides a lack of clarity, how the Pareto Principle exposes the myth of “more,” and why focus — not frantic activity — is what moves your HR consultancy forward.

So tune in, reflect, and give yourself permission to stop being busy and start being focused.

Your website should be your hardest-working salesperson — bringing in leads, enquiries, and clients around the clock.

But is yours quietly pushing people away without you even realising it?

In this week’s podcast episode, I do a live HR consultant website review — pulling apart what works, what doesn’t, and the small fixes that can transform a “nice-looking” site into a client-winning asset.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• The 3-second test every homepage must pass (or you lose the lead)
• Why too many menu options paralyse your visitors — and what to do instead
• The copywriting mistake that makes even good websites unreadable
• The trust signals that matter more than fancy design
• The single call-to-action every consultant site needs to stop confusing people

By the end, you’ll know exactly what’s holding your website back — and how to fix it so it finally starts working for you, not against you.

And if you’d like the fast-track version — a best-practice HR consultant website built for you — DM me “COMMAND CENTRE” on LinkedIn and I’ll share the details.

Most people secretly hope someone will come along and fix things for them.

But the truth is, no-one is coming. Not to build your business, not to change your habits, not to save you from the things you’ve been putting off.

In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why taking full responsibility is the real turning point — with insights from Mel Robbins and Dr Julie’s journey to becoming the UK’s most-followed psychologist.

So tune in, reflect, and ask yourself the question: what’s stopping you?

If you’re an HR Consultant who’s tired of the feast-and-famine cycle — one month fully booked, the next wondering where the next client will come from — this episode is going to feel like a turning point.

In this conversation, Lucia shares how she went from “no idea where my next client is coming from” to building a predictable, confidence-boosting pipeline that works quietly in the background while she gets on with client work.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why relying on referrals and hope keeps so many HR Consultants stuck — and why Lucia felt that panic of “nothing on the horizon” before working with me.
• The simple shifts she made that turned overwhelm into clarity and gave her a clear, repeatable plan for finding clients.
• How building her first funnel (and later, her own ads) changed the way she thought about marketing forever.
• Why predictability isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing the right things in the right order.
• How having structure, support, and accountability helped her finally stop winging it and start growing with intention.
• The surprising confidence that comes from knowing you can turn leads on and off whenever you need to.

If you’re done with guessing, done with waiting, and done with feeling like you’re “one dry month away” from panic…

Lucia’s story will show you what becomes possible once you finally have a system you can trust.

Tune in — this might be the moment everything clicks.

If you’re an HR Consultant who knows you should be creating content…

But the blank page, the time it takes, and the overwhelm of “where do I start?” keep holding you back —

This episode is for you.

I sat down with Ram from Riddlebox, creator of a brand-new AI tool called PulsePoint, to uncover how HR Consultants can:

• Share their expertise without writing a single prompt
• Turn one idea into blogs, posts, polls, podcast or YouTube video scripts, and more
• And finally stand out on LinkedIn with content that actually gets seen

This isn’t about gimmicks or shortcuts.

It’s about a tool that takes your real expertise and makes sure the world hears it.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why one quick voice note can explode into a month’s worth of strategic content.
• How PulsePoint filters out generic AI fluff so your authentic voice shines through.
• What happens when PhD-level research backs up your insights.
• The way this tool tracks engagement so you see the business impact of your posts.
• A chance to try it out for free and see how easy content creation can really be.

So if you want to stop battling with content and start using it to win more clients — tune in.

Most consultants think the answer to better results is doing more — more marketing, more sales calls, more hours at the desk.

But sometimes, it’s not about adding more. It’s about improving the simplest habit you already do every single day: sleep.

In this Sunday Session, I’m sharing why sleep is the real secret weapon for HR consultants who want sharper focus, stronger performance, and more consistent energy.

You’ll hear why a good night’s rest makes you more persuasive on sales calls, more confident in decisions, and more resilient when challenges hit — plus the practical shifts you can make tonight to start seeing the benefits.

So tune in, switch off the scrolling, and give yourself permission to rest.

Most HR consultants think the reason they’re stuck is their marketing, their sales, or even their pricing.

But more often than not, it’s none of those things.

It’s the stories they’ve been telling themselves.

Stories like, “I’m no good at marketing,” “ads are just gambling,” or “I need another qualification before I can charge more.”

In this Sunday Session, I’ll share why those stories aren’t facts — and how to start challenging them so you can finally build the business you want.

You’ll hear my own fears about spending money on ads, what I learned when I finally pushed through, and why your beliefs don’t have to control your actions.

So tune in, reflect, and start rewriting the stories that are holding you back.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do next in your business, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Anna Woolliscroft, founder of Writing With Purpose and journaling expert, to unpack how self-employed HR consultants can use journaling to:

• Clear their head and think more clearly
• Reduce stress that blocks progress
• And take back control of their business – and their life

Journaling isn’t about keeping a teenage diary. It’s about using a simple, powerful tool to create the headspace you need to make better decisions and build a consultancy you actually enjoy running.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How journaling gives you space to think and plan without the noise
• Why even five minutes a day can reset your stress levels and improve focus
• Practical ways to use journaling for business planning and personal growth
• Nick’s own routine and why he swears by pen and paper
• Where to grab Anna’s free PDF journal planner to get started today

This isn’t “one more thing” on your to-do list. It’s a simple way to make business feel easier — and life a whole lot calmer.
