"The Consulting With Confidence Business Intense Workshop was excellent. Kara was well prepared and the workshop was interactive and informative. Kara engaged the attendees by providing us with tips, strategies, processes, and a wealth of knowledge to help us grow our businesses. We had time to discuss individual scenarios as well as time to have breakout sessions with other consultants.
A big part of what drew me to this workshop is how down-to-earth Kara was during the discovery call and the fact that the workshop was during the weekend. Kara is an excellent resource and it was great getting to know the other Consultants that attended the workshop."

"Kara is an absolute powerhouse, savvy businesswoman, down-to-earth, and a true believer of helping others. I have been in her HR Mastermind group for a little under two years. I have learned so much. This workshop far exceeded my expectations. The detail, information, and layout were well thought out, relevant, and high-quality. Kara, gives you the tools to provide value to your clients, and not be viewed as a Consultant. HR Professionals are Business Partners (when done right), and this workshop was Business, HR, Strategy, and so much more. If you're serious about your business I highly recommend joining the next workshop, and the HR Mastermind group."

"This has been THE MOST impactful workshop I've ever attended for my business. I've done several webinars and trainings (free and paid) and nothing has come close to the value provided through this Business Intensive Workshop. Kara's simplistic approach takes the guesswork out of those initial steps in starting your business and I feel prepared to put it into action now."
- K. Williams
"Kara was fantastic in providing us with practical tools and clear steps as to how to start and grow our HR consulting business. She gave insightful feedback to all participants throughout the weekend. The title of the workshop is very appropriate as I left the weekend seminar with the confidence needed to take the next steps! Thank you, Kara!"

Why do I have to schedule a Discovery Call before signing up?
Unlike a webinar or other classes that you can sign up for online, the Consulting With Confidence workshop is intended to be an specifically designed for entrepreneurial HR professionals. The most successful sessions of this workshop have been with participants who are in similar places with their respective consulting businesses working together to help each other move their goals forward. The purpose of the Discovery Call is to
a) determine whether the workshop is a good fit for you and you are a good fit for the workshop, and
b) introduce a prospective client protocol that we build upon during the workshop.
How many attendees will be in the workshop?
The average session is limited to no more than 8 participants. A smaller group gives everyone the chance to receive individual feedback and participate at a level that will help them be successful in achieving the workshop goals.
Is the session recorded?
No. Because of the nature of the conversation, participants may be sharing sensitive or proprietary information. The goal is to create an environment where participants can feel safe being vulnerable and recording the session may prevent them from feeling comfortable discussing certain topics, such as fees or business plans.
Why is the cost of the workshop not published?
Workshop fees are discussed during the Discovery Call - exactly how many professional consultants discuss their fees with a prospective client. While this may not be the most helpful answer, participants who have completed the workshop have been extremely satisfied with the value they received.
