Before today’s webinar: a quick thought for you

Today is the day.

As you get ready for the webinar “From Executive to Entrepreneur” on Thursday at 17:00 CET, I’d like to give you a short lens for the session.

Over the past years, we’ve spoken with hundreds of senior executives who were about going independent or who started already 1 or 2 years before. Many of them said a version of:

“I thought my experience and my network would be enough.

I didn’t expect it to feel this slow and unstructured.”

Today, we’ll look at:

  • Why corporate success doesn’t automatically translate into independent success

  • Which parts of the “corporate machine” disappear on day 1

  • How to replace them with a simple operating system for your consulting business

Join live here at 17:00 CET: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85270607614?pwd=jBQlp0jUyyG3B2VnYB3HGJ0v4sPbfL.1

​If you take 2 minutes before the session to note one specific situation you’d like to clarify or to improve (for example: unclear niche, weak pipeline, fuzzy offer), the webinar will be very useful for you.

Looking forward to talking to you,
Dieter Brandt

Reduced variance. Higher trust. Better clients.
Why many senior executives struggle when they star consulting?Over the years I clearly saw that most senior executives do not struggle in consulting because they lack expertise.  It is also not about missing effort or energy they put in to start their next professional chapter. They usually struggle because they bring too much expertise to the market.That may sound strange at first. After all, ...
AI won't replace you. But it may change your career decisions.
Why more executives should think about entrepreneurship now For a long time, a senior executive career offered something that mattered deeply: predictability. If you performed, delivered results, and kept moving, the system gave you structure, status, and a clear next step. That model is becoming less reliable. Not because experienced leaders have become less valuable. But because AI is acceler...
