"Jamies approach is clear, strategic, and grounded in an enormous amount of real-world thinking and past experiences"
Barry Brown (ex Oil & Gas)
After decades in the corporate world, you've hit a frustrating reality;
The job market that once valued your experience now sees your age as a liability. Interviews grow scarcer. Offers, if they come at all, come with smaller titles and shrinking salaries.
But what if they're wrong?
What if your experience isn't obsolete - it's just undervalued - because you're looking at it the wrong way?
Because, here's the thing;
"Your best days are behind you."
What if your best days, where you combine an entire careers worth of experience, knowledge, people skills and know-how into a valuable asset...
"Are actually in front of you?"
The message is clear but unspoken:
So if you're thinking;
Then read on, because...there's a much better way and it’s built around you.
Think about all your wins, your hard-earned lessons. The strategies and playbooks you've built over a career. It’s time to turn them into something powerful and profitable:
In fact...
This isn’t just a new chapter — it’s a chance to build a low-stress, high-income business you can run from anywhere on earth
Forget corporate life altogether - It's time you took back control...>>>
Look;
Think 'rewiring' not re-hiring.
Think 'rewiring' not retiring.
It's Time To Start Your Own Consulting Business
Just you, a phone and your laptop.
A Consulting business let's you take all of your accumulated career experience and turn them into valuable 'knowledge assets' that you sell back into the Corporate marketplace.
You focus on the successes and failures. To teams and businesses, both have value.
(I turned one of mine into a £4500 a day consulting gig in an industry I had ZERO experience in - more on that little win a bit later) .
Next, you repackage a few of those big wins and experiences you achieved. Don;t worry, I'll help you zoom in on the good ones.
It's all about repurposing your 'personal brand to fit into the self employed consulting world rather than the employed Corporate world.
Final ( and maybe most importantly) , you may need to rewire. >>>
By that I mean you need to get clarity, direction and purpose in this, your next chapter. You've been Corporate for quite a while. You need to rewire your brain.
Here's Why...
Just a little, and don't worry, it's actually great fun.
...Your career experience isn’t just history — it’s your golden ticket. Your hidden superpower.
Imagine turning all that know-how into a business you can run from anywhere: your favorite coffee shop, a quiet beachside café, or your cozy home office.
It’s not too late. It’s exactly the right time.
And you're way more ready than you think.
Tapiwa Manjengwa - Managing Director Crescenval Enterprises
Oh, by the way
You don’t need a fancy website, or to be tech-savvy. This is low tech stuff.
What you DO need, is a way to identify exactly what you did in your career, just a few things, four at most, that you can repackage, repurpose and rewire into a valuable consulting offer.
Relax. You've got this.
A laptop, a smartphone a pad, paper and a ZOOM account. That's it for the tech.
And importantly, you probably need to rewire...wait for it... yourself.
So now, you need to know you can make this work, for you. You need to;
(a) find out, warts 'n all, if this can work for you, in your circumstance. with where you are, right now.
(b) create a plan, a simple playbook to get going.
Because, no doubt you've been shaken by the way the job market and the corporate world has treated you >>>
Maybe your confidence has taken a knock?
Honestly, It's understandable.
But where do you even start?
Hey...I'm Jamie Sylvian. I've been an independent consultant for 30 years.
If you're looking for the next move on your career chessboard, but finding a new corporate role isn't looking like a viable option:
I've consulted in: Direct Sales, Energy, Marketing, Finance, Publishing, IPO's, M&A and Local Authority (UK) strategies, real estate, franchises, business exits, capital raising.
I'm the Founder of Executive Nomad.
And that, of course is, where you come in >>>
Just you, a phone and a laptop.
Cool?
Cool.
We'll identify a series of events you had in your corporate life that companies will pay you great money to teach them.
If there's a 'Golden Nugget' in there somewhere, we'll find it and work out how to repurpose it into a full or part time consulting business.
The clock will be ticking. We'll keep it to half an hour, dig deep and find the gold.
We'll work out if, how and to who - your experiences in the corporate world can transfer to your own high income consulting business.
"It's time to think differently - Instead of fighting an unfair corporate system, let's just bypass the system completely"
Think about that for a second.
My thing is strategy and communications. Kinda like, 'what to say, to who and how'...
Our goal is to Repurpose, Repackage, Rewire...you
In a very short (video) session, just you and me
We'll do it online
You've got 'war stories' right?
That's it. That's where we'll start.
"Jamie, was a Joint Founder of our direct selling business in London. We grew it into a £210m company'"
Lord George Mountbatten
Let me show you what this looks like in practice: A couple of years back, I'd grown tired of my main role as a Communications strategist (remote) in the finance sector.
I had big name clients who paid me to write their sales and marketing campaign and advise on sales campaigns.
So I put my consultants hat on, wrote emails to all of the marketing managers in those companies, told them I had built a strategy to increase revenues from their website.
>>>... I didn't offer to do it. I offered to train their own existing staff to do it.
£4500. A day.
In other words, I'd tell them what to do. I'd show them exactly how to do it. Then I left them to actually do it themselves
I was living in Spain at the time, near Gibraltar, home of some of the worlds most profitable online gaming companies, like 888, Entain, BetVictor, William Hill and Betfred.
I charged them £4500 for my consulting.
It's the power of packaging your experience differently. Not just selling hours, but selling ideas and transformation.
Here's what Martin sent me;
Here's where consulting gets really clever... >>>
Martin parker at BetVictor.com came back to me. They had a need for exactly what I was offering. They had a whole team of young writers, designers and marketers, but no-one with my experience to guide them.
This isn't unique to me or to marketing. Every corporate career—including yours—contains similar opportunities when you know where to look.
I was good at it, very good. But I was burned out. I needed to get some fire back in my belly"
And that's exactly the kind of transformation we'll explore for YOUR career during our strategy call.
But I wasn't pitching to actually do the strategy for them...
Honestly, I'd never used my knowledge in the gaming industry before'
Now
I DID know exactly how to repackage and repurpose my knowledge to fit into a brand new market.
And that's the key to this whole thing.
I had to rewire.
Ready to transform your experience into a consulting business that works for you?
It's not just your day rate. There's a bigger game to play, too.
I recently agreed to be the interim Managing Director for a start-up in the food sustainability sector. Basically, indoor vertical farming.
I worked for ZERO money. Not a penny.
Instead, I parlayed my skillset for 2% equity of the company (I also invested money into another 2% at a discount as an 'early' adopter)
There's Something Else;
But, let's be clear'
These opportunities don't come along every day, and they're risky.
- On the downside: 5 months of unpaid work, with some tricky situations to deal with and if the company doesn't succeed, it was all for nothing.
- On the upside: The company could be worth £100m in the next five years, and I own 4% of it.
Would you take the risk?
£4,000,000 for 5 months work.
OK, if it only ends up at half that valuation, it'd still be a win, right?
Maybe I'm only 10% right... or even just 5% ... you do the math.
All still worth it.
It's called 'Consulting for Equity' and it's a very cool strategy
These opportunities don't come along every day, and they're risky.
But, let's be clear ...>>>
You could end up with nothing to show for your hard work.
But when they do work out;
These deals are out there, but you'll need to dig deep and be careful.
So, to keep safe (and keep the lights on), you'll want a mix of paid and equity gigs.
That's just the smart way to do this.
Could this work for you?
Well, let's talk about that, when we meet.
One, just one - winner might be your 'golden' pension.
Nothing.
"Jamie has introduced us to over a Hundred Million Dollars in Financing opportunities, as well as IPO and training deals"
Perry M. Anderson
Founder Quadra Capital and And author of RED TO BLACK: THE ART OF CORPORATE TURNAROUND
Leave TikTok to the kids. We're talking 'notepad and pen' here.
This isn't about jumping on the next social media malarkey.
Oh, by the way...
whether you're interested in cash consulting, equity deals, or a mix of the two—you don't need to worry about mastering complicated new technologies.
If you don't much like the title of Consultant, maybe go with:
Strategic Advisor, Solutions Partner, Innovation Specialist, Transformation Coach, Growth Architect, Success Coach, Performance Mentor, Strategy Coach, Transformation Guide, Clarity Coach...or a few I havent thought of yet.
...or a few I haven't thought of yet.
So who exactly can turn their career experience into a profitable consulting business?
All that work you did in the office, for years, you can take on the road.
Welcome to 'The Anywhere' Business
Run meetings from anywhere you choose to be. Walking the dogs across a Summer meadow, tasting coffee at a beachside cafe, hanging with the grandkids.
Where's Your Anywhere?
You’re not just starting a business—you’re rewiring your relevance.
It Gets Better
Consulting doesn't have to be about sitting in front of a laptop all day, or melting into a chair in a stuffy boardroom somewhere, 'suited and booted'
from high-impact coaching programs and interactive workshops to digital products, mentoring, online courses, keynote speaking, and monthly retainers with clients who rely on your guidance, you can turn this into something really substantial.
Whether you prefer one-on-one transformation or one-to-many scalability, there’s a model that fits your style.
The thing is... you get to choose >>>
Play this thing well and you can turn your expertise into multiple revenue streams
Why settle for a single paycheck when your knowledge can work for you in five different ways?
So, where do we start?
We'll jump on a video call, talk about you, your career and how you can kickstart the next part of your working life, not by looking forward and hoping your experiences and talents will be recognised one day...
Well, everything starts with an informal (and relaxed) video meeting.
But by looking back at your successes and failures and working out how you'll use them as your springboard to a brand new career in consulting.
All you need is a laptop, a niche, and a strategy.

So Let's Talk Money... Well, Kind of
What you learn with me, could guide you for the next 10 years, (more if you're a young buck, like just 51)
You're getting a whole framework for the next chapter in your working life
You'll get a useable framework, a real life playbook for moving forward.
Bottom line. You'll have a plan.
Your transformative session with me costs just £125.00 / $165
No add-ons, no upsells, no BS.
And there's something else - it's important;
You only pay if you felt I delivered real value.
And you'll decide, not me.
Because there's no payment button on this page.
We meet first.
We design your plan.
Only, then, if you're happy. You pay.
If not. No charge
Fair?
So why all this value, for just £125.00 / $165?
Actually, we both do very well out of this arrangement;
And assuming I did my part, I'll earn £125 /$165 for helping you get there.
I run 15 of these calls every week.
That's an income to me of £1875, roughly $2485, for the week.
Not bad.
Not life changing. But not bad.
And here's the thing;
When you get going, you might need extra help with strategy, marketing, positioning and building your offer.
I can help with that too, if you like - for a fee, of course :)
Also, my goal is that you'll recommend me to everyone you know on Linkedin, so I'll book in even more calls.
And it's not like I'm digging ditches for a living. This stuff is fun for me.
I'm stretching my brain. I'm learning too, every day.
So, £125 /$165 for helping you map out exactly how to do this stuff...
...Identifying your core consulting offer, your approach, your ideal clients, your scaling strategy.
That's a win for both of us.
I'm offering absolute clarity on your next steps. That's valuable to you, right?
The money, the learning, the fun, that's valuable to me.
.While I have fun doing it
Hey look, if you're on the fence about this, or worried about being 'sold' something you don't need or want - relax :)
This definitely won't be a high-pressure sales call. It's simply a focused strategy session where we'll dig into your specific experience and identify real opportunities.
You'll walk away with clarity about your next steps—whether you decide to work with me further or not.
And remember, you only pay for the session AFTER we've had our call, and ONLY if you feel you received genuine value.
That's how confident I am that you'll walk away with insights you can immediately put to use.
Am I good at this stuff? - Ask these folks
Alllllrighty... we're not getting any younger here...
Like I said, your session with me is £125 /$165 — but;
You only pay if you felt it delivered real value.
Shall we do this?
I deliver, or it's free (and you decide, not me).
No upfront payment & no catch.
Fair?
Ok, Let's Wrap This up.
