Knowing higher education is one thing. Managing a business around that expertise is another.
Starting a consulting or coaching business can be exciting, rewarding, and full of unexpected learning curves. From figuring out how to position your expertise to navigating client relationships and making business decisions, there's a lot that comes with turning your knowledge into a professional practice.
And while no two business journeys look exactly alike, there's a lot we can learn from the people who've navigated those early stages before us.
Join the Association of Higher Education Consulting and Coaching for The More You Know, an open webinar featuring higher education consultants and coaches sharing the lessons they wish they'd known before starting their businesses.
Through an honest, experience-driven conversation, AHECC members will reflect on how they got started, what surprised them along the way, and the insights that have shaped their businesses today.
What We'll Explore
Hear directly from practicing consultants and coaches as they reflect on questions like:
What did they underestimate or misunderstand when first starting their businesses?
Which early decisions had the greatest impact on their growth?
What challenges and unexpected lessons shaped how they approach their work?
What would they do differently if they were starting today?
What advice would they offer someone considering a similar path?
This isn't about presenting one perfect formula for success. It's an opportunity to hear different perspectives, learn from real experiences, and walk away with practical insights to inform your own journey.
