Taking the plunge and leaving the secure world of PAYE is something most people will have contemplated at some point. Whether the motivation is greater flexibility, the ability to work for yourself or just the desire to no longer be a small cog in a big wheel; we all wonder about life on the other side. It might be a generalisation but it seems that it is a leap that men are often more confident taking than women. Why is this? Are we inherently more risk averse? Do we worry about failure more? Maybe it’s a confident issue? Whatever it is the reality is the only thing that is really holding us back is... us.

This is the second event to be hosted by 10 Digital Ladies director Emma Sinden. Emma will be joined by expert panellists:

Kate Cleevely - B2B Marketing expert
Kathy Adams - Experienced finance professional
Rebecca Hill - Principal Consultant at HHc

The panel will tackle some of the barriers that we might feel we face to building a successful career as a consultant. It will look at:

• How to recognise your own skillset and package it up in the right way.
• How to create a ‘runway’ so that you are not simply jumping into thin air
• How to secure the roles that you want rather than feeling you have to jump at whatever comes up first
• The value that consultants can bring to businesses and how to package your value up in the right way
• Where to go for support and advice
