About this event
If you’re curious about what really happens inside consulting and coaching careers, this conversation is built for you. SheMeets: Lisa-Marie Schmitz x SheLeads brings together honest Q&A, practical perspective, and a community-focused setting where you can ask better questions about your next professional step. Whether you’re exploring a move into consulting, thinking about coaching as a path, or simply want a clearer view of how these worlds work in practice, this session gives you space to listen, learn, and connect. The format is straightforward, focused, and designed to help you leave with more clarity than you came in with. About the Event This event is a Q&A panel on consulting and coaching, hosted under the SheMeets and SheLeads umbrella. At its core, it’s a conversation for people who want more than surface-level career advice. Instead of generic inspiration, the session centers on practical insight: what these fields involve, how people build credibility, what challenges come with the work, and how to think about your own fit. The panel format makes this especially useful. A Q&A setting opens the door to nuanced discussion rather than one-way presentations, which means attendees can expect a more dynamic exchange of ideas. It’s an opportunity to hear perspectives that are shaped by real experience and to better understand the overlap, differences, and opportunities within consulting and coaching. Because this event sits within a community and networking context, it’s also not just about absorbing information. It’s about being part of a room where professional curiosity is welcome. If you’ve been wanting to ask questions you can’t easily answer through job descriptions, social media posts, or polished career content, this is the right kind of setting. What to Expect Expect a session that is structured enough to be valuable and open enough to feel conversational. The focus is on consulting and coaching as career paths and professional practices, with time dedicated to discussion rather than just formal remarks. You can likely expect the event to flow through a few key moments: A short welcome and introduction to the session and its theme A guided panel conversation exploring consulting and coaching from different angles An audience Q&A segment where attendee questions help shape the discussion A community-oriented close, with space to reflect on key takeaways and possible next steps The topic itself can touch on several important themes that people often want clarity on: How consulting and coaching differ in day-to-day work What skills matter in each field How to evaluate whether one path fits your strengths and goals What it takes to build trust, impact, and a professional reputation What challenges people should realistically expect Because this is positioned as a meetup-style session with a networking spirit, the atmosphere is likely to be engaged and approachable rather than overly formal. That matters: people ask better questions when they feel comfortable, and the best insights often come from the details that emerge in real conversation. Why Attend There’s real value in hearing a focused discussion about consulting and coaching in one place. These two areas are often talked about broadly, but they involve different ways of working, different expectations, and different professional demands. This event helps you compare, question, and understand them with more precision. You should attend if you want to move from vague interest to informed thinking. Maybe you’ve considered consulting because you like solving complex problems. Maybe coaching appeals to you because you care about development, transformation, or one-to-one impact. Maybe you’re still figuring out where your skills belong. In all of those cases, a live Q&A can help you test your assumptions. You’ll also benefit from the community aspect. Events like this are useful not only because of the information shared, but because of the context they create: you’re surrounded by others asking similar questions about growth, career direction, and meaningful work. That can make your own next step feel more concrete. A few likely takeaways include: Better language for understanding consulting and coaching as distinct paths Clearer questions to ask yourself about your own goals and strengths Practical perspective you can use in future career decisions A stronger sense of connection to a professional community interested in leadership, growth, and exchange Practical Details Date: Tuesday, January 20 Time: 6:00 PM GMT+1 Format listed: In person This timing makes the event well suited to join after the workday, whether you’re attending as part of your ongoing professional development or using the session to explore a possible pivot. Since the event is framed as a panel and community meetup, it’s worth arriving ready to engage, take notes, and bring a few questions of your own. If you’re deciding whether it’s worth setting aside the time, think of this as a focused evening conversation with practical relevance. You’re not signing up for a long conference or a vague networking event. You’re making space for a clear topic, a live exchange, and a better understanding of two career areas that continue to attract interest for good reason. Before attending, it may help to prepare one or two questions you genuinely want answered. That way, you’ll get more out of the Q&A format and be able to connect the discussion back to your own goals. If you’ve been looking for a smart, grounded way to explore consulting, coaching, and the conversations around modern career development, this event is a strong place to start.
