How To Make The Move From Corporate To Consultant with Michelle Kvello
Episode 6
Wednesday, 1 February, 2023
For many, venturing out as a consultant will be their first step in their entrepreneurial journey, but it can be a scary step to make! This week I’m joined by Michelle Kvello to discuss how the transition from corporate to consultant can be made as seamlessly and successfully as possible. Ten years ago, Michelle chose to step away from her senior corporate role to found Lantern Partners, a virtual CFO firm working with founder CEOs of start ups and scale ups. Recently named one of the top 50 Women in Accounting (2021) and top 50 Small Business Leader (2022), she is passionate about using her voice and her stories to support women in the industry, as well as small businesses and individuals moving from corporate roles into their consulting dream. Last year she launched her Corporate to Consultant program, a practical guide through the key building blocks in making a successful move. And - hooray! - podcast listeners get a 20% discount on the program using the code BOLDDARLING. In our conversation, Michelle shares: Her own transition from corporate to consultant a decade ago (or “self-ejection” as she described it!) The ten years since then - her biggest “fuck yeah” moments and “oh shit” moments Why she’s so passionate about helping others to make this transition What the greatest fears she sees in people wanting to move out of corporate The most common mistakes she’s seen others make in the transition The simple - and deadly - problem with the standard “I just want to match my salary” goal How to deal with a negative response from a boss or colleague on leaving your role How to find your perfect client starting out as a consultant You can find more about Michelle on her website - michellekvello.com - and connect with her on Instagram at @michellekvello.
