Running a Consulting Business with Molly Angel
The business of independent consulting can be challenging, no more so than for a change management consultant in the healthcare industry in the midst of a pandemic!
In this episode, Molly Angel and Alastair McDermott discuss what it's like to run consulting projects in challenging times. Molly shares why she hired a business coach for her business despite having an MBA herself, some big mistakes she's made, and why it's important to loosen your grip on the reins in some circumstances.
They also discuss podcasting for consultants, and how to create an abundance of content ideas for your writing.
“I am very blessed to have a creative group around me who are my sounding board, a writers room that I can ping things off of. We'll have an hour-long call, where we'll throw out lots of different topics and we just kind of riff from there. And every single week we do this, it's a wealth of content.” -- Molly Angel
“People would say "You've got an MBA, why do you need a business coach?"
I ask "Do you think I can truly be objective about myself? I don't think so."
I credit my business coach with being the person who got me fixed in the right direction first, which was "figure out the money".” -- Molly Angel
