🟡 Talk—Craft your offer, Set your price, Nail your pitch

​Making the leap into external L&D work—whether as a consultant, freelancer, or business owner—means stepping into the role of offer designer, price-setter, and confident pitcher.

​This session is designed to support you in crafting an offer that reflects your unique strengths, speaks to real client needs, and feels both strategic and values-led.

​Together, we’ll demystify:

• ​How to shape a compelling L&D offer that positions you clearly in the market

• ​Sustainable pricing approaches that honour your worth and business goals

• ​Ways to pitch your offer with clarity, confidence, and authenticity—whether you're speaking to potential clients, collaborators, or your own network.

​You’ll leave with practical tools, a first draft of your offer, and more confidence to put yourself out there—without feeling like you're “selling” yourself.

​Takeaways:

• ​Clarity on the shape and focus of your external L&D offer—clear, client-centred, and ready to test

• ​A pricing approach tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and value

• ​Gain clarity on what to say in your pitch so it feels values-aligned and so you can start using it right away

• ​Increased confidence in communicating your expertise and owning your new identity as an external L&D professional

​See you there!
