What’s the short version of how you went from emergency services and VR/AR into running Experience Innovation as a transformation consulting business?2. When a new client asks what you actually do, how do you describe the core business problem you solve with AI and change work?3. Who are your best-fit clients today, in terms of industry, size, and maturity, and who inside those accounts usually signs your proposals?4. How do most of your consulting clients find you right now, is it referrals, speaking, LinkedIn content, or previous in-house roles? Sub Question: How do you see podcasts working as a marketing channel for consultants in your space, more for authority, for lead gen, or both?5. When you’re selling a complex AI or change engagement, what does your sales process look like from first conversation to signed SOW?6. Once you start working with a client, what do you deliberately do to keep them coming back, and to turn a one-off project into a long-term relationship?7. As the owner of a transformation consulting practice, where do you personally feel most stuck or constrained right now, if at all?8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities in blending ethical AI, change management, and measurable ROI the way you do?*********************************************************************Know more about Alex JacksonWebsite Link: https://www.experienceinnovation.consulting/ Connect with Alex Jackson on LinkedInLinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexjackson1000/Apply to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead. Take the Leap Colleen Biggs When was the last time you took a leap of faith trusting that everything is going to work out? Do you crave growth, or are you merely content with the status quo? If you want more out of your life, out of your career, and out of your relationships, you are in the right place. It's time for you to step into the Spotlight to expand your influence and attract the right clients. Your Host, Colleen Biggs, will expose the actions you need to take, through the experiences and interviews of our guests, so you no longer are sitting on the sidelines, but that you are finally taking an active role in defining the design of your life rather than living it by default. We will be interviewing elite leaders that will share their greatest regrets, successes, and how they did it! Week after week you will learn all about how you too can take the leap of faith, trust in yourself and stop living a life only by default.
