Grow Your Consulting Business - In Conversation with Jane Anderson

·34 min·2 clips

Matt Church taught Jane Anderson to turn people's weakness, wisdom, and knowledge into something clients will pay for.

Episode 273 starts as a reunion. Jane Jackson welcomes Jane Anderson back almost nine years after their first conversation, and the catch-up quickly settles into career growth, consulting, and what has changed in Anderson's business world. The pace is relaxed. This is less about a slick sales formula and more about how people notice their own value, then turn hard-won experience into something clients will pay for. Anderson talks from close-range work with consultants. She describes her mission to create a community of Australia's leading female business-to-business consultants, thought leaders, and advisors, with the work shaped around local client needs. Her model is intentionally personal. She says she does not work with a massive number of people, that 90% of the people she works with are women, that she also coaches some men one-on-one, and that some clients have stayed with her for 10 years. The Australian context matters too. Anderson notes that buying trends and workplace needs can differ from overseas markets, including shifts shaped by legislation and organizational policies. Jackson gives the conversation room to breathe. She reflects Anderson's impact back to her, then asks what mission now drives her life and career. Anderson's answer comes back to contribution: helping consultants see the weakness, wisdom, and knowledge in their own experience and turn it into useful, paid work. LinkedIn credibility is part of the setup, including her long experience in corporate communications, personal branding, and business growth, plus recognition for branding, sales, marketing, and business coaching. Still, the episode feels personal rather than polished. It ends with gratitude, reflection, and Jackson joking that another nine-year wait would be much too long.
