Nola Simon Advisory - The Sole Sponsor of Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence - The Sales Pitch Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence

    • Management

If you listen to many episodes of my podcast, you'll note that I keep the intro really short.  I'd rather focus on the guest and the ideas as well as any takeaways we can highlight.  Same with the outros.  I might ask you to rate and review the podcast on your favourite player.  I might mention my website www.nolasimon.com or ask you to check me out on LinkedIn but I've never really done a full blown ad for my consulting business Nola Simon Advisory.
I don't have a sponsor - I fully fund the podcast and all the research I do.  With the exception of 2 books featured on this podcast, I've bought the books in order to prepare for the interviews.
I don't love ads interrupting podcasts when I listen to other shows.  I came up with the idea to do a bonus episode so I can add this into show notes.  That way you can listen to me talk about why I podcast and how it fuels my business if you want to click on the episode. You can easily avoid it if you are not representing an organization who might want to work with me.  I'm a B2B consultant but I want my podcast and the information and ideas to help not only my ideal clients but anyone who is interested in learning about hybrid/remote and the future of work. 
I want to be the resource I needed 10 years ago when I was starting to advocate for workplace flexibility.  
All my info for the business is nicely in the shownotes.  I try to always make sure my website and Linkedin profile are in the show notes for each episode but I don't always remember.  If I add the link for this episode to the notes for each episode, it's much less work.  It also makes it easier for anyone to refer me to someone looking for my consulting and speaking services.
The podcast and the majority of my work on social media is free.  Substack is free for 6 months and then there is a small monthly fee (it's an experiment).
The work that keeps my lights on and pays my bills is the consulting work and the speaking engagements.  This is where I need help with introductions, recommendations and referrals.
I'd love to add community into the mix but that's been harder than expected.
Who Am I?
I'm an international consultant who has advised hybrid/remote work teams for the last 10 years (well before it was a daily headline).
I've worked for 5 different corporations, 2 of them global, over the last two decades. I pioneered hybrid work and have worked some version of hybrid/remote since 2012. If I’m tossing metrics, I like to mention that I owned business-critical relationships totalling more than $1 billion.
My deep expertise means that I’ve been interviewed extensively in the media - newspapers, television, radio, magazines. I spoke at a world-class conference about the positive impacts of hybrid/remote on work and wellness. I am well-connected and have the ear of senior transformation consultants and futurists around the globe.
I run the Hybrid/Remote Centre of Excellence, a membership designed to support & inspire C-Suite, HR experts and leaders. It’s unlike anything else in the world. This cutting edge resource is powered by my podcast of the same name - 30 episodes & counting & thousands of downloads. I’m focusing my efforts on becoming one of the best resources for B2B hybrid/remote education today.
The #1 skill for the 21st century is navigating uncertainty.
You don’t have to do it alone.
If you have been tasked with creating hybrid/remote strategy and are feeling overwhelmed with content, statistics, opinions (no shortage of those!!), I can help you make progress.
What you get when you work with me: deep research
innovative thinking
leadership through storytelling
expertise in difficult conversations
future-focused creativity
initiative
accountability
employee perspective
co-creation
ability to operationalize change
How does my work make people feel? ´You are the voice of the unheard employee.’
‘I need you to speak to my managem
