Personal perspectives on their work lives and ever-changing priorities within the sector has led more education leaders to consider a change to consultancy, perhaps mixed with part-time contracts, and portfolio working.
This interesting balance provides opportunity for experienced leaders to provide support to the sector whilst achieving a change in their own lives.
The session will explore some of the benefits and potential pitfalls in setting up and running a consultancy and consider how delegates might sell their services in the commercial world.
Areas covered include:
- understand the world of consultancy: changing labour markets, challenges and opportunities
- learn what it means to be self-employed: operational/strategic and risk management
- identify your own USPs and opportunities
- explore support networks
- next-steps planning
