1:1 Coaching and Mentorship for Consultants
A 6-month mentorship program for consultants with a clear vision and the drive to implement. Get the support you need to build a thriving business that enables a life you love.
Private Mentorship for Consultants with Vision
Your consulting business should enable a life you love, not detract from it.
But too often, the consultants who come to me for coaching are overwhelmed, overworked, and scrambling to land the next big contract.
Trading burnout in your salaried job for burnout as a consultant is not why you started your business. So, let’s get you where you want to be:
- AEarning what you need and want
- AMaking a meaningful impact
- AWorking with clients that inspire you
- ALiving a life you love with true life-work balance
- APositioning yourself for retirement
“I don’t believe there is a single “roadmap” for a successful consulting business. There are countless ways to build a business you love. My job is to help you find the route that’s right for you.”
The Mentorship Effect
Imagine the next six months for your business.
Do you get a pit in your stomach when you think about the coming months in your consulting business? If so, you’re not alone.
Maybe you’re working too much or too little. Maybe you’re stuck doing work that no longer lights you up. Maybe you’re stalled in reaching your biggest personal and business goals.
Now, imagine your next six months with a mentor.

- NGrowing into your role as a leader in your field
A mentorship program that meets you where you are—and helps you get where you want to be.
- Achieving income and life goals with greater confidence and smarter strategies.
- Running a business that evolves with you, from startup, to scaling up, to retirement.

How It Works
A 1:1 Mentorship Designed for YOU
We know firsthand how important it is to find the right fit when it comes to coaching and mentorship. You need a program that meets you where you are and provides the style and support that matches your goals, personality, and resources.
Our mentorship program is for you if…
You have a vision for your future and want support to make it a reality.
You prefer to learn and grow at your own pace, rather than in a group or as part of a pre-set curriculum.
You want a business that evolves with you, rather than a template for someone else’s business.
You want a mentor who will give you frank, field-tested advice, and keep you accountable to achieving your dreams.
What’s Included in the Mentorship Program
Coaching Sessions with Mandy
Each month, you’ll have a 90-minute coaching call with Mandy where you’ll dive into long-term goals, urgent strategy questions, overcoming blocks, planning your next steps, and more.
Our coaching sessions are YOUR time: I’ll come prepared and ready to focus 100% on what you need most.
The benefits of support between coaching calls:
We get to know and trust each other, so I can meet you where you are and help you break through blocks.
Some common areas I work with mentees on are:
- Getting in front of your ideal clients—and feeling confident when you do.
- Thinking through conversations with new prospects.
- Building an email list, developing webinars, and using social media.
- Where to spend money (subscriptions, databases) and where you can save.
- Evaluating marketing tactics and finding the right ones for your style, business, and clients.
- When and how to hire subcontractors or other support in your business.
- Managing difficult clients.
- Urgent of-the-moment issues, like tech questions (including getting hacked), clients not paying, contracts getting cancelled, deciding whether to partner with another consultant, evaluating opportunities and ethical questions.
Support Between Coaching Calls
Each week, you can also send me one document for review—a presentation, a marketing piece, a scope of work, a contract, etc.
The benefits of support between coaching calls:
Urgent On-call Support
30-minute “Help me!” Calls
Instead of scrambling to figure it out on your own, you need someone who knows you and your business to give you honest feedback and strategic advice. That’s what our “Help me!” calls are for. Once each month, you can reach out, and we’ll hop on the phone as soon as I’m able to discuss (usually within hours).
The benefits of support between coaching calls:
Peer Networking
We don’t call it a group coaching program or a mastermind, but we DO believe that coaching programs work best when they help you build a personal relationship with your mentor and with peers.
As part of your mentorship, you’ll be invited to a monthly 60-90-minute networking and community-building session with all mentees currently in the program.
The benefits of peer networking:
The Consultant Vault
Inside The Consultant Vault, you’ll find more than three dozen expert-led webinars, conference sessions, and consulting conversations covering everything from bookkeeping to LinkedIn to pricing your services. We regularly add new sessions and topics to The Consultant Vault as new content is requested and recorded.
The benefits of The Consultant Vault:
Priority Access to Add-on Services with the Full Coaching Team
What Is the Commitment?
The program starts with a six-month commitment at $950 per month. After this period, participants have the option to continue on a month-to-month basis, allowing for flexibility based on individual needs and preferences.

Meet Your Mentor:
Mandy Pearce
I started my nonprofit consulting business, Funding for Good, for the same reason so many consultants do. I was burned out in my nonprofit job, overworked, underpaid, and dealing with toxic workplace dynamics.
I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted to be my own boss, do meaningful work, and provide services that brought me joy.
As a consultant for the past 18 years, I’ve been able to help incredible clients. We’ve raised millions, transformed organizations, trained thousands of board members and staff, and helped design and refine programs that are serving communities in need right now.
When I started coaching and mentoring consultants, I didn’t shutter my
own consulting business. I kept growing it. In fact, Funding for Good continues to serve hundreds of nonprofit organizations every year.
By coaching consultants—while still actively running a successful nonprofit consulting business—I’m able to provide the insider, on-the-ground perspective that other coaching programs lack.
I’m right there with you, submitting scopes of work, negotiating contracts, piloting new services. I don’t offer a pre-set curriculum or roadmap because the reality is our sector is constantly changing.
Successful
consultants adapt. Successful businesses evolve. My goal is to help you find the path to your vision of success, whatever that may look like. And, believe me, it’s so much easier to not do it alone.
As your mentor, I’ll get invested in your dreams. I’ll learn about where you’re at right now, and we’ll figure out a strategy to get you where you want to be, using the resources you have. Every step of the way, I’ll be your thought partner, strategy coach, accountability partner, and expert on-call.
I believe that:
There is no single “roadmap” for a successful business. There are countless ways to arrive at your destination: our job is to find the route that’s right for you.
As consultants, we need to be talking about and preparing for retirement, including how consulting can supplement other retirement income.
