Episode 7 - What happens when your freelance pipeline dries up?

Join us on the Free Spirits of L&D podcast as we delve into the world of freelancing in learning and development.

In this episode, Mark chats with Jude Sclater, a coach, writer, and trainer. Jude shares her journey from internal L&D at Deloitte to building her own freelance business. She opens up about saying “yes” to her first client, the challenges of pricing her services, and the power of saying “no” to work that doesn’t align with her expertise.

Jude also discusses how she transitioned to online delivery during COVID, the impact of writing her book Think Like a Coach, and her strategy for generating new business without feeling overly "salesy". Plus, she answers Dr. Alaina Szlachta's question from our last episode about converting leads and poses a thought-provoking question for our next guest.

And of course, Jude reveals how much she charges for her freelance work!

Whether you’re new to freelancing or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
