• The Consulting Lab.

    Build a solid consulting practice in 6 weeks.

    The Consulting Lab is a safe, judgement-free learning programme with peers.

    You will develop the mindset, business systems and consulting tools you need to do your best work

    and create impact for your clients.

  • ✅You want to create a sustainable income doing something you love. But....

    • You feel like you have tried all the things.
    • It doesn't feel like you are flourishing.
    • You are feeling frustrated, stuck and lonely.

    We’ve been there too. We know how it feels. We can help!

  • Imagine how you would feel...

     

    ..if you had all the business systems and consulting tools in place you need to run a successful consulting practice.

    ..if you spent less time worrying about ‘how to’ run your business and had more time to enjoy the challenge and reward of your technical work.

    ..if you were clear on your ideal consulting practice. Imagine intentionally targeting and winning more work with clients that align with your values and purpose. This means wasting less time writing proposals for work you won’t enjoy.

    ..if you had a healthy consultant mindset and solid negotiation skills under your belt. You would spend less time under-charging and over-working and more time doing great work for which you are valued. You would have a more sustainable and stable income stream.

    ..if you had concise writing and presenting for impact tools in your pocket. You would spend less time hair-pulling on unwieldy reports and presentations. And get more great feedback from clients who receive your message clearly.

    Imagine how you'd feel if your consulting business was flourishing and you were increasing the impact you seek.

  • Our mission is simple.

    More women in consulting.

    We started the Women's Consulting Workshop with one purpose.


    To grow the number of women consulting in the international development and social impact space. This is crucial to the improvement of our sector - and to affect change in other sectors as our world shifts and changes.

    To create this change, we have created spaces that listen, engage and contribute. We offer Masterclasses, a podcast, a weekly newsletter and our 6 week Group Coaching Programme: The Consulting Lab.

    By the end of The Consulting Lab programme you will have developed confidence and clarity around your unique value and your offer. You will have the solid foundations on which to build your consulting practice. And you will have a solid roadmap for the next 6 months.

    Learning happens through a combination of

    Hi, I’m Janet!
    I’ve been working in the social impact sector since 1995, specialising in purpose, strategy and organisational development.

    My journey began as a Project Manager with an NGO in Armenia, and over the years, I’ve worked across multiple countries and roles. In 2001, I transitioned to consulting with a firm, gaining valuable insights into the sector.

    In 2016, I took the leap into independent consulting. It was exhilarating but also daunting—and often lonely.

    I craved connection with other women navigating the same challenges. That’s why we created the Women’s Consulting Workshop—a supportive space for women working as consultants in the social impact sector.

    In 2020, we launched Turas Partners, a boutique consulting firm focusing on strategy, evaluation and impact for purpose driven organisations.

    I’ve had the privilege of coaching hundreds of women through challenging consulting situations, helping them clarify their purpose, refine their consulting strategy, and design a practice that truly supports the life they want to lead.

    The Consulting Lab is the result of years of learning, failing, getting things wrong and doing it all over again. But being and doing better.

    I'd be so delighted to welcome you on this 6 week accelerator where you can learn, grow and connect in a safe judgement-free container of possibility!
