Consultants of Choice has been such a challenging and rewarding experience. I've gone from 'on the fence' to 'all-in' very quickly! After going deep and trusting the process, I feel so much more prepared, energetic and confident talking about the challenges my target organisations are facing. It's given me a real boost!

The pace, honesty and thoughtfulness in how Consultants of Choice is delivered is perfect. The workbook is the perfect supplement to the videos, with real space to be intentional and thoughtful. I've got a clear picture of the business I want to be running, why I'm doing it, the goals I want to achieve, and the life I'm creating for myself.

ADRIANNA'S STORY
HOURLY RATE CONTRACTOR TO HIGH-VALUE CONSULTANT
Adrianna Blair is an organisational design specialist, with over a decade's experience leading change in complex organisations.
Making the move from contractor was proving tricky - until she joined Consultants of Choice. She brought a question about value-based pricing to a COC Office Hour, and her whole world changed.
With a clear, personalised value model, Adrianna suddenly unlocked the key to moving ahead.
"I've been struggling how to figure out how to calculate the value I provide through my work in tangible terms, and this has been holding me back from fully stepping into the consulting world."
Adrianna's value as an organisational design consultant was suddenly crystal clear - she streamlines teams to help them make faster, better decisions, unlocking thousands of hours of unproductive labour hours, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in avoided costs.
"Today Alicia didn't only provide me with the key to working out the value of my work, she also gave me access to feeling confident in my credibility and clarity in how I can move forward."
"10 minutes of Alicia's input today has unlocked years of feeling stuck and unsure of how to progress."
Now, Adrianna shares her success with prospective students, encouraging them to join the Consultants of Choice community and experience the same transformation.
"I highly recommend the Consultants of Choice programme where-ever you are on your journey to becoming the consultant you imagine."
EXPERT ASSISTANCE
HANDS-ON COACHING FROM ALICIA MCKAY
In 2014, aged 25, I left my policy career to go freelancing. I had two young kids, a mortgage, a husband on apprentice wages and $2000 in the bank.
By 2021, I’d turned that little business into a seven-figure consulting and corporate education company.
I've published two books, run leadership programmes in some of New Zealand and Australia's largest companies, and levelled up over 10,000 leaders through consulting, speaking, in-events and online courses.
Now, I’m a full time teacher, sharing everything I’ve learned about being a strategic senior leader, serial career-transformer and professional consultant.
Alicia's ability to create such rich and engaging communities online, and role model vulnerability and authenticity is second to none. The practical tools, thought provoking content and connections are really valuable.

I've had a nagging feeling that I needed a stronger community around me to test ideas and blow off steam with. When Alicia set up Consultants of Choice, I saw the opportunity to leverage her expertise and experience to use as a rocket to propel me further.

EXCLUSIVE 2023 OFFER
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
COC is a unique, student-led development model. In short: we're building this thing while we're flying it, and for the rest of 2023, you can be part of that development journey.
When we sat down to create COC, we realised it would take months to build the platform, write all the resources and film all the content.
Rather than wait until we had a perfect product, we opened enrolments to the world - and the results have been astonishing.
Over 80 active, engaged learners joined at launch, and we use their feedback to nurture a dynamic, engaged community of practice. We add features and sessions, remove things that aren't working, and are always adapting what's on offer based on YOUR feedback.
We release a new curriculum module every month from April to November, and Foundation members get access to new resources as soon as they drop.
With your input, feedback, and leadership, we're building the BEST online learning community out there.
By joining NOW, you get to be part of the creation of COC, making it the best possible experience for you and all our future students.
