Unleash YES (Your Entrepreneurial Spirit) with Tom Schimmer & Natalie Vardabasso — Business, Education, Mindset

  If you've been telling yourself, "Maybe someday I'll start consulting," this episode is your roadmap to making that someday this summer. Natalie and Tom break down the exact five moves they'd make over the next 8–10 weeks if they were starting from scratch with one goal: landing their first consulting opportunity before September. You'll learn why most educators spend the summer preparing instead of creating proof, how to uncover the expertise schools will actually pay for, why listening is more valuable than building, and the fastest way to gain the confidence that comes from real-world evidence—not endless planning. Whether you're a teacher, instructional coach, administrator, or district leader who knows your expertise has value beyond your current role, this episode will help you build momentum without quitting your job, creating a website, or waiting until the "perfect time." In this episode, you'll discover: • How to identify the kind of freedom you're actually looking for. • Why your past successes hold the clues to your consulting niche. • How to conduct simple conversations that uncover real market demand. • The secret to becoming known for one thing before you have an audience. • Why creating evidence—not perfection—is the fastest path to confidence.

What if the fastest way to grow your consulting business isn't getting selected to speak at someone else's event—but hosting your own? In this episode of Unleash YES, Tom and Nat pull back the curtain on how they grew from a 45-person provincial event to a 270-person national conference that generated consulting contracts, referrals, partnerships, and a stronger reputation than any marketing campaign could deliver. You'll learn how to design an event around a powerful transformation, market and fill seats without a massive audience, attract sponsors, create profitability before the doors open, and turn every attendee into a potential referral source, client, or future collaborator. Whether you're dreaming about hosting your first workshop, summit, or conference—or you're already consulting and looking for a more strategic way to grow your visibility and impact—this episode will show you how live events can become one of the most powerful assets in your business.

Someone just slid into your DMs with a collab idea and suddenly you're spiraling. Are they legit? Should you say yes? And if there's someone more established you admire, how do you reach out without sounding desperate or transactional? In this episode, Tom and Natalie break down the real art of strategic collaboration for educator-consultants. You'll learn how to evaluate opportunities from clarity instead of scarcity, what questions to ask before you commit, and how to recognize when a partnership amplifies your business versus distracts from it. They also introduce the concept of "drafting," intentionally positioning yourself near people whose trajectory can accelerate your own, and how to build those relationships with generosity and intention, not awkwardness. If you've ever overthought a collab, questioned your readiness, or struggled to put yourself out there, this one's for you.

Today's episode takes you behind the curtain of the Educator Freedom Lab. Each week inside the Lab, we host six live coaching calls designed to help experienced educators sign paid consulting clients. These calls are built around the three core systems we help our clients develop to create consistency in their businesses: Visibility — how people continuously discover you and understand what you do. Conversion — how you turn a moment of discovery into a signed client. Offer — how you structure and deliver your work with schools and districts so you can grow without burning out. This episode is a recording of a recent Conversion System coaching call, where Tom and Nat answer a question that comes up more than you might expect: how do you turn an upcoming conference workshop into a gateway for ongoing consulting and professional development work? If you have a speaking engagement, workshop, or training on the horizon, this one's for you. 👉 If today's episode resonated and you're ready to start signing consulting clients, book a call with us to see if the Educator Freedom Lab is the right fit for you.

Traditional professional development rarely leads to lasting change. It is typically one-size-fits-all, event-based, and quickly forgotten once educators return to their daily reality. In this episode of Unleash YES, we introduce online group coaching as a more effective alternative. This model focuses on structured, community-based experiences that move educators from intention to implementation. We break down what online group coaching is, why it creates deeper transformation, and how it provides a more sustainable and predictable business model for education consultants. You will also learn three key questions to help you identify your own program idea. If you are ready to build a consulting model that creates real impact and consistent income, the next step is to book a call to see if working together in the Educator Freedom Lab is a fit.

Think education consulting is only for keynote speakers with massive followings and published books? Think again. In this episode, Tom and Nat break down exactly what education consultants do, who hires them, how they make money, and — most importantly — whether you could be one. You'll learn the different consulting delivery models (from in-person PD to online group coaching), who's actually writing the checks and why, and the three biggest myths that stop qualified educators from ever getting started. Plus: the one question to ask yourself before anything else — "Which problem in education do I have receipts for solving?" If you've been sitting on the sidelines wondering whether consulting could be your next chapter, this episode replaces the confusion with clarity. 🔗 Ready to go deeper?

Most educators think marketing means advertising, promoting, or "selling yourself." And if you've ever felt that resistance rise in your chest at the thought of doing marketing, you're not alone. In this episode, we break down our biggest takeaways from Seth Godin's bestselling book This Is Marketing and explore why educators are actually uniquely positioned to thrive in this new era of marketing. If marketing is the act of making change happen, then teachers and leaders have been marketers their entire careers. We unpack five powerful ideas from the book, including serving the smallest viable market, why authenticity isn't the goal, and how culture is strategy, and connect each one directly to the strengths educators already have. Along the way, we share the moment our own relationship with marketing shifted, and why building community changed everything for us. If you've ever thought, "I just don't want to do marketing," this conversation will reframe it entirely and leave you with practical action steps you can use right away in your consulting or leadership work.

You finally receive the email you have been hoping for. The subject line says, "PD Request." For a moment you feel excited, and then you open it and see the question: "What are your rates?" Suddenly the confidence you had about your expertise disappears. Most educators were never taught how to talk about money. In schools, you show up, do meaningful work, and move up a salary grid. But consulting is different. The moment you name a price can feel uncomfortable, awkward, or even selfish. In this episode, Tom and Nat explain why pricing is not separate from your impact — it communicates your impact. They discuss why higher investment often leads to better implementation, why underpricing quietly undermines credibility, and how to interpret budget pushback without taking it personally. You will also hear Natalie's story of increasing her fee and realizing that pricing is less about money and more about leadership. By the end of this episode, you will understand how to respond to pricing questions clearly and calmly, without apologizing or guessing. If you have ever found yourself staring at a reply email wondering what number to type, we created a resource specifically for that moment. The free Educator PD Pricing Guide shares real pricing ranges educators are using right now, explains what actually changes the price, and helps you respond professionally with confidence.

Rae shares how her journey evolved from the classroom, through leadership at Teach Better, to launching a consulting model that challenges traditional PD as we know it.

You're posting. You're speaking. People tell you your work matters. And yet… your business is still stuck. In this episode of Unleash YES, we name the real reason so many educators stay under $25K—not because they lack ideas or expertise, but because they're giving hobby-level consistency to something they want to be real. It took both of us far longer than we want to admit to cross our first $100K. Not because we didn't know what to do—but because we hadn't stopped doing the things that kept us playing small. In this conversation, we break down the five behaviors we had to stop before anything truly changed, including: ·       Waiting for validation instead of trusting our expertise ·       Overbuilding brands instead of selling real offers ·       Trying to help everyone instead of choosing focus ·       Doing everything alone instead of building in aligned community ·       Expecting full-time results from part-time commitment This episode is for educators who already have visibility—but are ready for traction. The kind that proves this isn't a hobby. It's real. If you're done circling ideas and ready to build a consulting business with clarity and momentum, your next step isn't another post—it's a conversation. 👉 Book your Clarity Call here: [Chat With Us] Your work already matters. Now it's time to build it like it's real.

If you're stuck overthinking your business idea — constantly "too busy" to start but secretly craving a new chapter — this episode is for you.
