It ain't all business!
“You don’t need permission to be a consultant. You need a laptop, a niche, and a plan.”
“You’re not selling yourself. You’re selling a shortcut.”
“One solved problem = one new consulting product.”
“If you can run a meeting, you can run a consulting business.”
“I’ve run meetings from mountain terraces, Greek cafés, and Turkish hotel lobbies — and nobody cared where I was calling from.”
“You don’t need to be an extrovert or a genius — you need to know your lane.”
“You can build a future by owning pieces of companies instead of just charging day rates.”
“I once lost everything — including the coffee machine. I still came back.”
“You don’t need a hundred ideas. You need one that pays.”
Here's How I Roll..
Jamie has worked with hundreds of Executives and notaries: from the Chairman of British Gas, to the Britich Royal family and Members of the House of Lords, right through to start-up entrepreneurs and retired Chairmen. Here's what a few of them had to say about how way of doing things.
Barry Brown
Ex Oil & Gas

He’s sharp, strategic, and hilariously honest — and he’ll bring your audience a refreshing dose of clarity, possibility, and practical steps to create a second career that actually fits.
Whether your listeners are midlife professionals, career changers, executive coaches, or just plain stuck — Jamie delivers instant value they can act on the same day.
Jamie’s interview style is sharp, grounded, and impossible to ignore. he brings a mix of real-world grit and strategic clarity, delivered with a wink. He’s relatable without being rehearsed, direct without being dry, and always ready with a story that lands somewhere between boardroom battle and backroom banter. Expect a healthy dose of irreverent humour, the kind that only comes from someone who’s lived it, lost it, built it back, and now teaches others how to do the same. If Billy Connolly and Simon Sinek ever ran a workshop together, Jamie would be the one holding the mic and rewriting the slides on the fly.
"Coming from an Operations background, sales and marketing wasn’t something I naturally gravitated towards - but Jamie has a way of making it all feel straightforward and achievable. His approach is clear, strategic, and grounded in an enormous amount of real-world thinking and past experiences, which gave me the confidence to get started and know I was heading in the right direction.
