The Six-Figure Public Health Consultant Quiz
"You're an Emerging Expert — ready to scale your impact and income."
You've already proven consulting works. A contract or two is on the books, the work was good, the client got value. Now you want more — not another one-off, but a real practice with consistency, bigger opportunities, and the positioning to be the obvious choice. Here's how to get there.
You've crossed the hardest line in consulting: someone has paid you. The question is no longer "can I do this?" — it's "how do I do this consistently, at the level I want?" Emerging Experts usually have 1–2 contracts under their belt and the appetite for more. The work now is positioning, pipeline, and pricing power.
Emerging Experts are the public health pros who've already proven the model — a contract (or two) landed, delivered, paid out. The hard part isn't whether consulting works for you. It's the gap between one contract and a consistent practice. Below is what's working in your favor, what's keeping you stuck at one-and-done, and what unlocks the next level.
Each one is sized to fit on a lunch break. Do them in order — you'll walk into PHC 101 with a clear sense of your niche, your positioning, and where your next two contracts are going to come from. We'll sharpen all of it together, live.
For every contract you've done, write three things: how the client found you, what specific outcome you delivered, and what you'd charge if that exact engagement came in today. Look for the pattern.
Open your LinkedIn or resume summary. Most Emerging Experts read as "public health professional with consulting experience." Rewrite it as: "I help [who] with [specific outcome]." Specific. Confident. Singular.
Pick one: more contracts (volume), bigger contracts (deeper engagements with fewer clients), or retainer income (recurring revenue). You can't build a pipeline for all three at once — choose your next stretch.
List the five people most likely to either hire you again, refer you, or know who would. Past clients, old colleagues, the speaker who DM'd you. Reach out to one each week with something genuine.
A two-day live workshop — ninety minutes per session — built for Emerging Experts ready to turn early contract wins into a real consulting practice. Walk in with the four exercises above; walk out with a sharper niche, the language that positions you as the obvious expert, and a clear plan for where contracts two and three actually come from.
Take your audit from exercise #1 and turn it into a niche you can say in one sentence — with the type of client who actually pays for it.
The mindset, language, and visibility shifts that take you from "someone who freelances on the side" to a public health consultant clients seek out.
The real channels behind first-time contracts — RFPs, referrals, warm networks, and the LinkedIn moves that bring inbound asks.
You leave with a personalized plan — the niche, the offer, and the three concrete moves to make in the next 90 days.
You've already done the hardest thing in consulting: you closed a deal. Somebody handed you money for your expertise, you delivered, and the world didn't end. The next leap — from one contract to a consistent practice — is a different muscle. It's about positioning, pipeline, and the courage to charge what the work is worth.
PHC 101 is two ninety-minute sessions designed for exactly where you are: proven, but not yet patterned. Come bring the homework above and let's get contracts two, three, and ten on the calendar.
Emerging Experts thrive when they have a room of people running real practices alongside them. The Public Health Club is 900+ public health professionals — sharing contracts, swapping client wins, and turning early contracts into consistent practices.
