Independent consulting coaching
Turn your expertise into independent consulting work.
I help experienced professionals in international development, climate, and sustainability turn their expertise into independent consulting opportunities.
You know your work is worth paying for. Selling it is the harder part.
You have deep expertise, but naming the one thing a client would hire you to do is difficult.
You are waiting on job ads and RFPs instead of building a pipeline of your own.
You have good conversations that never quite turn into paid work.
I coach people on defining what they can sell, positioning their expertise, identifying potential clients, building a targeted network and pipeline, and turning conversations into paid work.
Hello, I'm Megan.
I'm an independent consultant and coach with a background in management consulting and international development. I have an MPA from Columbia University and have worked with organizations including Dalberg and Kearney across strategy, economic development, and impact.
My own path into independent work wasn't perfectly planned. I experienced a layoff, built consulting work without the security of a traditional job, and learned firsthand how different it is to turn your expertise into opportunities when there isn't an employer or job description doing the positioning for you.

Is this coaching right for me?
Defining what you sell
- You are strong at your work but vague about your offer.
- You want to name a service, a scope and a price with confidence.
Positioning your expertise
- Your experience is broad and hard to summarize.
- You want a clear line between what you have done and what a client needs.
Finding clients
- You don't know who your buyers are or where they sit.
- Cold outreach feels awkward or transactional.
Building a pipeline
- You network in bursts and lose momentum.
- Conversations happen, but they stall before a proposal.
Still not sure? Let's talk it through.
In their words
"In just one week after our session, I was able to schedule five coffee chats! Something I had been struggling with for months."
