Women With Influence
Australia’s Leading Community of Women in Corporate Consulting
Elevate your B2B Marketing, Sales & Systems to Become an Exceptional Advisor
As a female B2B consultant it's sometimes hard to promote and position yourself. Women in consulting often struggle to charge what they’re worth even when they’re getting the right enquiries and clients.
Our Women with Influence Community was created to help women in consulting connect with a diverse yet like-minded group of female industry leaders who are working to grow their practices.
Build your network and elevate your personal brand, thought leadership and revenue.
Don’t Go It Alone
Are you a female consultant (delivering in business to business advisory services
Find it hard to promote and position yourself as a consultant in the B2B space?
Struggle to charge what you're worth, or are unsure how to price your services?
Work in a male-dominated environment and feel like the boys club gets the gigs?
Feel like you work hard but aren’t getting enquiries?
Wish clients would come to you?
Compete on tenders and other projects but can’t seem to close enough deals?
You’re unsure where to start with your marketing strategy?
Feel like you're alone and family and friends don't really understand what you do?
Struggle with self-doubt and lack the mindset and confidence to really sell yourself?
Feel the impact of the imposter syndrome and fear being ‘found out’ that you're not really as good as you've had to say you are?
Worry you have an expensive hobby on your hands instead of a serious consulting practice?
You’re not making a profit or paying yourself super.
Struggle with cashflow?
Why women in consulting typically struggle
In today’s workforce, more than 60% of small businesses are started by women. And many of these women say they struggle with their confidence to brand market and sell themselves.
Consulting is a vulnerable space to play in, and women in consulting constantly battle the imposter syndrome. They may feel not good enough, smart enough or clever enough to have a voice and share ideas and solutions in a fast-moving world of disruption and change.
As female consultants we often second guess ourselves.
We don't want to look like a know it all. We struggle to speak up because we’re afraid of saying the wrong thing or being judged. Or we hope that our hard work will speak for itself and get us noticed.
Today it’s about learning ways to take the lead in your own practice and demonstrate your expertise as an industry leader and a woman in consulting. It’s about learning to have the confidence and conviction to know what you stand for, lead the conversation and become the best version of you so you can achieve your greatest potential in your life's work.

Dr Louise Mahler | Gravitas Master
"Do yourself no better favour than this: work with Jane Anderson.
To have a champion of the industry on my side makes me wonder, why I did not start earlier.
While also having a magnificent overview of the industry and my business within it, Jane is totally hands on down the last full stop, helping me expand my streams of income, filling the gaps with whatever is needed.
Jane is not only someone who provides personalised service, she is flexible, attentive and drives every aspect through every week, following up, making sure she has her finger on the pulse at all times.
Here’s the secret, being around excellence breeds excellence and a secondary benefit to working with Jane is imitation. Her skills guide what I do now with my own clients. I want to be Jane! (Don’t panic Jane, different field) What greater compliment could you offer.”

Alena Bennett | Leadership Expert and CFO Coach
"Jane changed my life. Before working with Jane the growth of my practice was reliant on word of mouth. It was growing but there was no certainty. I had a gut feel that working with Jane was going to be the game changer I needed and boy I was right! Within 6 months I had exceeded all my (very loose) expectations and within 12 months my list increased 625% and revenue increased 222%!!
The robustness of Jane's process and methodologies are just some of the things that makes her work so impactful. I can now be 100% confident in the value of my programs because of the guidance that Jane has provided. I can be light and detached because Jane has shared with me her repeatable processes, systems, methodologies that work - AND all wrapped up in the most generous bow possible which is the ongoing cheer squad that is Jane. I'm so grateful and can hand on heart say that if you're looking to catapult the trajectory of your practice, Jane is your go-to."

Alison Crabb | Retail Leadership Expert
"Since working with Jane, I realised that I could be better spending my time on things such as writing the book and creating better marketing documents and collateral to sell my programs.
The positive experience each week really forces me to be accountable to do what otherwise would have been wasted. I now have new clients, I have a great LinkedIn profile, I have the right collateral, landing pages, brochures and white papers. My newsletters are all done at once and they're batched and ready to go. I also have my systems in Asana, set up effectively to bring on my first business manager and support for me.
Considering it was a year where most people had a difficult year. I'm grateful that I had a 10% increase in sales, considering it includes a quarter where I had very low revenue. I am also now about to write my second book.I am well and truly on track for 2022 to be an exceptional year! "

Melanie Marshall | Adaptive Culture Specialist
“Before working with Jane I knew I was serious about growing my practice however I was stressed as I needed clarity, support and advice on what to focus on. I'm only 5 months in working with Jane and I now have powerful positioning, messaging, collateral and conviction in my sales and pricing. I'm charging what I'm worth, and doing work I love with the clients I love working with. So much so, that I recently closed a 6 figure deal in 15 minutes with a prospective client.
Jane is beyond brilliant!! Not only do I have solid targets and a plan for my growth but I have greater peace of mind, certainty and security for my future. For the first time in a long time I'm feeling the best I have ever felt, have a community around me who understand what I'm trying to do and am starting to live my dream!”
