Episode 099 – 3 Consulting Trends That Should Be On Your Radar in 2023

As you think about  what’s happening in our economy, you may feel a bit concerned about the looming recession/“poly-crisis” and how it can possibly impact your business.

Today, I invite you to take a step back, zoom out, look at what’s happening in the bigger picture and how it might apply to your business from a benefit perspective.

You don’t have to be in survival mode this year, hunker down and hope that the recession or “poly-crisis” ends soon. Instead you can use this as a benefit for your consulting business. 

There are real opportunities out there for you that I’ll talk with you about on this episode so that you can 

• put them into your business as an advantage and turn what seems like a dire situation into a benefit and also
• Leverage these trends to help your own corporate clients.

Listen in as I share the 3 consulting trends that I’m already seeing in 2023 and how you can apply those consulting trends to your business, and also how you can help your own corporate clients with these trends.
