Taking the Leap: Corporate to Consultant

Tuesday, May 20, 2025
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET
Location: 209
The life of a talent development consultant promises freedom, variety, excitement, and the opportunity to do the work you love. It also brings financial uncertainty, strategy ambiguity, reputational risk, and a need for agility and resilience. Join this session to hear from four successful independent consultants about their journeys, what they’ve learned, and how they’re evolving.

In this session, you will::

  • Identify where you are in considering a consultant career pathway and define milestones toward that goal.
  • Curate a list of potential strategies relevant to your individual goals and circumstances based on panelist experiences.
  • Adopt new or additional ideas or refinements if you are already consulting, whether recent or experienced.
