Many independent consultants and small firms take home less than $250,000 per year in net income.

While that revenue is nothing to balk at, many independent consultancies could generate upwards of $750.000 – $1M or more per year with the right techniques.

If you’re ready, this webinar will show you how to get there.

If you’re already bringing in seven figures, you’ll learn how to ratchet your success up another notch with tactical, easy to implement approaches.

David Fields (LinkedIn profile) will discuss how to super-size your average project, how to earn a rock-star premium even if you’re an unknown performer, and how to improve your negotiation skills.

You will also learn to recognize and overcome the single biggest obstacle holding your fees down and how to transform small RFPs into large non-competitive opportunities .

Learn Key Characteristics Of High Performing Teams

One of the most important Characteristics of high performance teams is that they learn:

  • From each other,
  • From their leaders,
  • From their customers,
  • From… just about anyone and anything

Learning doesn’t mean that they do everything they learn. Rather, it means that everything they do is informed by what they learn.

In this session, Doc will help you develop a core foundation of understanding about levels of mastery, styles of learning, personality types, and how those are significant contributors to teams moving from just-a-team to a high performing, self-managing team.
