Fractional work is exploding, with some estimates putting the number of self-described fractional executives well over 100,000. But there's a gap between what the label promises and what a lot of people offering it are actually delivering. In this episode, Leah breaks down what's genuinely good about the fractional model, the honest truths nobody tells you before you brand yourself that way, and the dirty little secret almost no one's saying out loud. Whether you're already calling yourself fractional or thinking about it, you'll walk away knowing what actually makes any engagement work, fractional or otherwise.

Almost every woman consultant is carrying something from a job she already left. Sometimes it's harmless. Sometimes it's the reason she won't publish, won't ask, won't say what she actually thinks where a client can see it. In this real coaching call, a client who'd stalled for months finds hers. Plus Leah's own version, and the three questions to ask when you catch yourself following a rule you never agreed to.

You can be great at what you do, get results your clients rave about, and still not be the one deciding what you work on. That's most consulting businesses. Shanna Hocking spent 25 years in university fundraising before starting Hocking Leadership, and she went looking for help at the exact moment things were going well, because good wasn't the same as chosen. Here's what shifted, and what it made possible.

Leah had spent over twenty years as a self-described personal development junkie, always reading, always learning, always reaching for the next book that would help her get better. But one day she sat down to work through a problem in her business and realized she couldn't hear herself think over the noise of everyone else's advice. So she did something drastic: she quit all of it, personal development and business books, cold turkey, for what turned into two years. In this episode, Leah shares what pushed her to walk away, and the unexpected things she found waiting on the other side.

Pricing head trash is sneaky. It doesn't care how long you've been in business, how much you've made, or how much mindset work you've done. In this episode, you're going behind the scenes into a real Academy group coaching call, where two experienced consultants are hitting the same wall in two very different ways. What you hear might sound uncomfortably familiar.

You already know who you want to work with. You've known for a while. But saying it out loud, committing to it, building your whole business around it? That feels like a risk you're not sure you can take. Abby McAdams, founder of ASM Communications, felt the same way, and she did it anyway. Here's what happened when she did, and what it could look like for you too.

What do clients actually need right now? How are they making decisions? And what makes one consultant the obvious choice while another never hears back? April Uchitel, founder of The Board, sits on both sides of the table, working with clients and consultants alike, and in this conversation she's giving you the inside look. In this episode you'll hear how organizations are making decisions about outside help right now, what clients wish they could tell you but don't, and the one behavior that turns a first conversation into a client relationship that lasts.

You're posting on LinkedIn. You're sending a newsletter. You're doing the things... and it's still not getting you the clients you want. If you've been working too hard at marketing for it not to be working, this episode is for you. Leah breaks down what's actually going on, the one thing not to do (even though every coach will tell you to do it), and the three shifts that actually move the needle, including the one ask you can make this week.

If you're a consultant, you probably know the feast or famine cycle: you look at the next three, six, or nine months and it looks fine. But beyond that, you have no idea what's going to happen. That's the cycle most consultants live in. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, Katy Goldstein, a PR consultant working with early-stage B2B tech companies, will share how she ended her own feast or famine cycle, for good, and how you can too.
