Most consultants think being broad creates more opportunities.
In reality, it usually makes you forgettable.
In this conversation with Jamie Jacobs, CEO and founder of Gig Talent (https://gigtalentagency.com), we talk about the rise of fractional work, the future of consulting, and why the best consultants know exactly what problem they solve.
We also discuss:
Why so many experienced professionals are leaving corporate roles
The loneliness that can come with consulting
How fractional talent helps companies get high-level expertise without full-time overhead
Why networking matters even more for consultants
The biggest mistake independent consultants make when describing what they do
How specificity makes you easier to refer and easier to remember
If you’ve ever thought about consulting, fractional leadership, or building your own practice, this episode will help you think differently about how to position yourself and grow through relationships instead of constant selling.
