The Consultant Mindset with Becky Hughes

Bec Chappell

Have you ever wondered what needs to change in your mindset when you become a consultant/business owner? It's a subtle shift, and it is something that you actually need to become aware of in order to position yourself in your branding and 'in the room' as the expert.

Today Bec Hughes and I are actually breaking down what is the difference between you showing up as the expert vs you showing up and simply being an order taker.

Often when we have been in corporate and then leave into a consultant role we don't realise what is required to become the expert or that the power does shift when we're a consult vs an employee.

We will chat through:

  • How do you lead the conversations with your clients both face to face also in your marketing
  • Why speaking up as the consultant will lead to a better outcome for you and your client 
  • How to know when you're not in consultant mindset
  • How to shift yourself back into it 

Bec Hughes is a brand strategist and creative business coach. She loves clever creativity, and is driven to improve, challenge, invent and create amazing, and sometimes unexpected outcomes.

With over 20 years’ experience in the creative industry, Bec’s mission is to close the gap between creative and business, so designers and creators thrive, without losing their sanity or their creative mojo. 

Bec gives brand-led designers and creatives the tools and insight to make confident decisions for their brand and business.
 
 What qualifies Bec to do all this? She spent 15+ years as a strategy, design, and business development leader in agency-land in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. She’s worked with international agencies to help them extend their global footprint, elevate their creative and strategic offer, build their creative and account service teams, instil consistent client and business development practices and perfect their processes.
 
 For the past 7 years (and counting) Bec has built her own successful brand and design consultancy. 

In short, she’s your business growth consultant, brand strategist, cheerleader, mood-lightener (when it’s needed), advocate, design mentor and blue-sky thinker. And she’s here to help you raise the bar in your business.
