Unlock the Benefits of Fractional Consulting for Executive Leaders
Have you considered leaving the corporate rat race to find a more rewarding way to extend your career? Are you on the career rollercoaster with layoffs, missed promotions, and high stress work environments? Fractional consulting may be the solution for your situation. While consulting offers tremendous benefits, many executives hesitate due to common concerns:

- “Do I Have the Skills to Succeed as a Consultant?”
- Solution: Consulting is about more than technical expertise—it’s about solving problems, building relationships, and delivering value. With the right training and support, you can translate your executive skills into a thriving consulting practice.

Success Story: Dave Anderson’s rise from Executive to Consultant
My career is a case study of this program. In 2022, after years of running an independent marketing business, I went back into the ‘work’ force. In the time that followed, I worked for two organizations where I was underutilized, micromanaged, and found myself working in high stress, non-rewarding positions. Mid Career Consulting was my leap to become a fractional consultant. This allowed me to put my years of networking, sales training, mentoring, and experience in executive leadership into a program that became this business model you are considering.
I have done all the exercises you will do and made myself work the program just like you. Not only does the system work but you’ll also have my team right by your side as you start and grow your business.
This is just one example of what’s possible when you combine experience with the right support system.
