Twelve steps, at your own pace
Get Your First Clients
Build a consulting business that sells to organisations, priced on the outcome you deliver rather than the hours you work.
You know your subject inside out. You’ve been doing it for years. What you don’t have is a clear offer, a pricing strategy, and a sustainable way of finding clients.
Complete the Get Your First Clients programme and leave with an offer that sells to people you actually want to work with.
Join us before 6th September for our next live onboarding week. Freshers Week 7-11th Sept.
Freshers Week
Freshers Week is five days of live sessions to get you properly started. Not a webinar. You turn up, you do the work, you ask questions.
If you can, join before 6th September and work through steps one and two first. You’ll be able to make the most of the live sessions and interaction with other community members.
Can’t make Freshers Week? You can still join the programme and catch up on the replays. The next onboarding week will be in January 2027.
Next Freshers Week: 7 - 11 September 2026
Join early and complete steps one and two of the programme to get the most from the live calls and networking opportunities.
This is for you if
- You have expertise from a long career but no idea how to package it to sell to clients
- You're still employed and want to build something slowly around your day job
- You're facing redundancy and want a plan rather than just plain panic
- You've been thinking about consulting for a while but keep putting it off
Get Your First Clients isn’t for building a side hustle with courses or workshops. If that’s what you want to do, please check out our Monetise Your Expertise in 5 Days programme.
See Monetise Your Expertise in 5 DaysI'm only half way through the GYFC programme and already I've been able to work out my service offer and ideal client.
You'll leave the programme knowing
- What to offer, who to offer it to, and why clients should choose you
- How to set your price and stick to it
- How to set up your LinkedIn profile to generate leads, and with the confidence to show up
- How to run a simple, repeatable sales process that does not feel like selling
- That you have a robust launch plan and what to do next
I've already had new client enquiries and the confidence to ask for higher rates that reflect my value.
How it works
Self-paced
Twelve steps, video lessons and a workbook. You go at whatever speed your life allows. Most women fit it around a full-time job.
Live Freshers Week
Five days of live sessions to get you started. Run regularly. The next is 7 - 11 September 2026.
The community
One month of She's The Consultant Membership is included. Weekly guest speaker calls, consulting clinics, networking and collaboration calls. £29 a month after the first month, cancel any time.
One to one calls with Lesley are available at £49 each if you want them. They are optional, and most women don’t need them.
There's no vague inspiration here. You know what you're working on, why it matters, and what comes next.
What the twelve steps cover
Deciding what you sell
Your niche, your offer, who buys it, and why they choose you rather than someone else.
Pricing and positioning
Outcome based pricing, your LinkedIn profile as a storefront, and a marketing strategy you will actually keep up.
Getting the client
Outreach, discovery calls, proposals, and a ninety day plan.
I'm now halfway through the course and it's brought me clarity to what I really want to do.
What women say afterwards
What I love most about the programme is that it actually works.
Imposter syndrome isn't running the show anymore.
The programme moved me from hesitation to momentum.
She has an incredible ability to see strengths in people that they often overlook in themselves.
Investment £997
Includes lifetime access to the twelve steps and your course workbook, live Freshers Week and your first month of She’s The Consultant Membership.
Questions women ask before joining
Not sure this is the right one?
There are two smaller steps, depending on what you want.
Monetise Your Expertise in 5 Days, £297
For selling your expertise to individuals rather than to organisations. A course, workshop, template or coaching offer, built in five days. It works well alongside a job and several women do this one first.
The most concise, high-impact training I have ever taken.

A live forty five minute workshop. How consulting works, the different models, what is selling now, and what to do if it turns out not to be for you.
