Fractional Executive Or Consultant — What’s The Difference?
It used to be when a senior executive left the corporate world but wasn't ready to retire, they'd hang out a shingle as an independent consultant. Today, it's much more likely that they would call themselves a fractional executive. In this podcast, Jay Kingley, CEO of Maven, lays out the differences between a fractional executive and consultant and discuss which pathway suits a second act executive.
The big mistake that too many 2nd act executives make is positioning themselves as being able to do both the fractional role and consulting. Successful fractional leaders and consultants pick a lane and establish their expertise, insight, and wisdom. Clients don't want the jack of all trades; they want mastery of one. As Jay says, "what you should do is a subset of what you could do."
Let’s have a conversation on whether you should position yourself as a fractional executive or consultant and from there how best to build a business that will allow you to recreate your corporate income without the insane hours.
