We're seeing a wave of L&D Professionals thinking about freelancing or just starting their freelance journeys. So we decided to speak to those who've done it and see what wisdom they have to share. We were joined by:

• Sarah Cannistra, L&D Career, Executive & Business Coach and Fractional Chief Learning Officer & Head of Learning
• Luke O'Mahoney, Founder @ Sapienˣ
• Liam Moore, Executive Coach, Supervisor & Facilitator

We explored A LOT, but here's a summary of what you can expect:

• How did they decide on going solo? What drove them? What questions did they ask? What would they advise others?
• What drove their decisions about their services and offerings? Spoiler alert: it's about doing what gives you energy!
• What are the hurdles of running your own show? How do they navigate all the feelings that come with the role?
• What's a flywheel and how does Luke use it to drive growth?
• What did Liam learn from his father, an entrepreneur himself?
• How does Sarah look at her business through the lens of her life stages?

Prepare for a rich discussion, full of nudgets of wisdom! If you're considering running your own company, being a solopreneur, or freelancing in the L&D and People Space, or just want to hear the exciting adventures of those who do, join us!
