Corporate to Solo in 12 weeks
Twenty years or more behind you. You are wondering whether there is a life outside corporate, and you like the idea of more flexibility.
Maybe you cannot see how a practice of your own would actually work. Maybe you have already started one and you are drowning in the admin.
Together, in twelve weeks:
- Package your skills into one solo advisory offer.
- Build the LinkedIn client acquisition process that fills it.
- Set up the AI workforce that helps run it.
In twelve weeks: one offer with a price, and the LinkedIn process and AI workforce you run every week to find the people who need it.
Clients I've already worked with
Senior leaders from UBS, HSBC, Citi, Marsh, London Stock Exchange Group, Roche, Philip Morris International, Huawei and Galderma.

Start here: what would people pay me for?
Not sure independent is the answer at all? Ten minutes of questions about your own history, then a free written read in your inbox.
How I can help
Three questions people leaving corporate ask me. Pick the one you are stuck on.
One
What can I sell?
You have twenty years of doing something well and no way of turning it into a sentence somebody would pay for. Start free.
Two
How to build a client system?
You know what you sell. The part that is not happening is the selling, and no amount of refining the offer fixes that.
Three
How can AI & automations support me?
I love technology, but I am not technical. You do not have to be either. From a free read of what you run today to building your own AI workforce.
Not sure independent is the answer at all? Start with what people would pay you for. It is free, and it is the step before any of these three. Looking for your next role or promotion instead? That is The Next Move.
My story: I put my hand up without a plan
Sixteen years inside two banks, watching how they decided what people were worth. Then I put my hand up for redundancy and had to work that out about myself, with no institution behind me. All I wanted was options, not a role I did not really want because I needed the money. That is where Next Position Advisory started. Now I want to help you do the same.
Why me
A degree in technology, then sixteen years in banking, mostly in corporate technology HR, helping senior employees position for promotion & salary increases.
Now I help you position those same skills to start your own advisory practice, plus the AI workforce that replaces the one you no longer have, and that I run my own practice with.
I was overwhelmed
When I started my own solo practice I was overwhelmed with so many things:
- The amount of advice out there. Do this, do that
- Working out who the right people to listen to were
- Which tools I should be using
- Self doubt about why on earth someone would pay me outside of my company
- Anxiety about doing cold outreach (you don't have to!!)
- Guilt about not doing all the things
If you have started looking, you have met most of that list already.
Twenty years of experience buys you one hearing. It does not buy you a client.
This is why I built the S.I.M.P.L.E. method
Six key steps, and nothing else. No fluff, no mountains of content, no cold outreach. One offer. One funnel. One AI workforce.
S.I.M.P.L.E. Six key steps. Simple because you're building your workforce aligned to it.
Each part of your client-acquisition process has a supporting AI workflow. You build and test these alongside the business work, with your own review where needed.
That box on the right is not a diagram of what is theoretically possible. It is my own workforce, running this practice, and it has its own page: who is in it, what each one does, and the three rules none of them is allowed to overrule.
What people say
Ranked #2 in Switzerland for Solopreneur & Creator Business on LinkedIn (Favikon, September 2026).
I initially connected with Lisa because her insights on the challenges of the modern workplace resonated deeply with my own experience. After decades in senior leadership, returning to the job market felt like navigating an entirely different world. Lisa's guidance has been pivotal for me. She provided the frank, honest feedback I needed to successfully re-position my executive profile. Her ability to challenge conventional thinking while offering practical and modern strategies is a rare find. For any senior leader looking to rediscover their purpose and navigate a major career pivot with confidence, Lisa is an invaluable partner.
She brought an independent, outside read on my experience and how it holds up in the market, a well-benchmarked perspective that's hard to get from inside your own network. She was also a sharp sounding board, pressure-testing my thinking and sharpening how I frame my work across my CV, LinkedIn, and conversations with hiring managers. Structured sessions, clear written follow-ups, and direct, practical advice throughout.
I worked with Lisa on a recent career move and I couldn't recommend her more. Her previous corporate experience combined with excellent coaching and mentoring skills add huge value for anyone taking and acting on a major career decision. I will also continue working with Lisa in my new role.
Four questions people ask before they get in touch
“Do I have to leave first?”
No, and working it out while you still have a salary is the better version. Start with the free masterclass on 3 November, or the CHF 295 self-paced course on building your AI workforce, which you can do at your own pace and which credits in full against a Studio seat. The Studio itself needs the weekly 90-minute session plus 2 to 3 hours of your own time.
“I don't even know what I'd do it on.”
That is the normal starting position. The answer is almost never a new idea. It is usually the questions colleagues brought you that were not your job, and nobody logged those because no process captured them. People came anyway.
“Isn't this market saturated?”
With people who have read about it, yes. With people who have run the thing they are now advising on, much less so. Your twenty years is the moat, and it is also the thing people find hardest to describe.
“I am not technical. Is the AI part going to be beyond me?”
Every agent is installed live, in the group, in the week that has the task it is for. Only the first is self-installed, and only because it is simple enough to survive a written guide. You direct them in plain English. If you can brief a person, you can brief one of these.
The rest of them, including the ones people do not ask out loud.
Who this is for
This is for ex-corporate people with twenty years or more experience behind them, building a coaching, advisory or consulting practice around what they already know. If you are after your next role or a promotion instead, that is The Next Move: one to one advisory support for exactly that.
There is also a kind of person this works for. You need to be very self-driven. There is no point starting a business if you are not going to reach out to people. Not strangers. The people your posts have already warmed. It will absolutely push you, and it is not the easy route. It is just the route where you are in control.
