Description

Quit the Rat Race. Be your Own Boss. Start Consulting Today

This is an introductory class for every one who’s looking to quit the rat race of a full time job, long commutes, unrewarding long hours on the job to having your own consulting business based on your years of experience and the wealth of skills you’ve built over the years.

Making the jump is not easy let alone starting a small business based on your own expertise.

About Me:

I am Ash Seddeek, a speaker, bestselling author, and executive coach, and your instructor for this course.

My transformation to the independent mindset and success blueprint we talk about in this course is the result of working for others as well as for myself and picking up lessons along the way. You see I came to the US as a Fulbright scholar twice, so I admit I came with a lot of confidence and a desire to create a lot more success.

Over the past 25 years, I have worked for Fortune 500 companies which were the best environment to fail and succeed and learn from others along the way. These companies include Charles Schwab, Deloitte & Touche, Oracle Corporation, Cisco Systems, BroadVision Corporation, Salesforce, and many others, and ran my 7-figure business providing services to high-tech firms. As an executive coach, I work with leaders on how they can become chief excitement officers, develop inspiring visions for their companies and teams, communicate with impact, and tap into the power of business storytelling to inspire audiences and drive successful business transformations.

In this course, I share with you insights from the management consulting industry, my experience working at Deloitte and Touche as a senior consultant in their Human Capital Practice and running my own consulting services business.

I will share with you the critical success factors and steps to get started.
