I help partners, founders, and senior leaders in professional services firms develop the confidence and capability to originate in a way that feels completely natural to who they are.
“I know I should be doing more business development. I just find the whole thing uncomfortable.
You’ve built real expertise. You’ve earned your position. But somewhere along the way, whether it was a promotion, a new revenue target, or the growing expectation that you should be out there selling, became something that felt like it belonged to someone else.
It doesn’t have to. In my experience, the discomfort usually comes from a misunderstanding of what selling actually requires.”
They’re curious. They listen well.
They add value long before they ask for anything.
They show up as themselves.
Those qualities? You almost certainly already have them. My job is to help you start using them commercially.
I spent over three decades as a senior sales partner in professional services, including senior roles at KPMG and IBM and originated work with some of the world’s most recognized companies: Unilever, Coca-Cola, Tesco, Diageo, and others.
I’m not a trainer who built a framework. I’ve lived every part of this from first meeting to signed engagement, many hundreds of times. I hold various advisory board positions with consulting firms today, which means I’m constantly in conversations about what’s actually working and what isn’t.
