Consulting has gotten a lot of interest in the public health space recently. For many reasons, public health professionals have chosen to explore consulting and have built careers around it.We have even seen interest within our PH SPOT community, and have been asked for resources by you to help you take the first step. Until now, we were not able to provide you with any resources or support around this topic because we hadn’t found anything specific to public health.This changed last year when we met Leah Roman! We came to find out that Leah was becoming the “connector” of public health consultants around the world. Not only that, she was also supporting aspiring consultants to take the first step into consulting! We knew right away when we met Leah that she was the right person to bring in front of you all.In this episode, we speak to Leah about her journey into consulting and ask her to explain to us what public health consulting is all about.

Contemplating consulting in public health, with Leah Roman

In this episode, you will meet the Leah Roman of Roman Public Health Consulting.  In a previous episode, I mentioned Leah as a great example of professional networking.  Those of you who know her are probably nodding your heads right now.  She is very genuine and networking seems to come naturally to her.  You may also remember Leah from the very first Public Health Consulting and Entrepreneurship Expo that I held, where she was one of my cohosts. She joins me on this episode to talk about her public health journey, from employee to consultant and business owner. She also has a few tips for anyone who may be interested in consulting.  She talks in depth about who she serves in her business, and the course that she created called “Contemplating Consulting: A readiness guide to help public health professionals decide to hit the breaks or take the leap.”  Listen carefully as Leah describes her online course, and if it is something that you’re interested in, then be sure to listen to the full episode, because I will come back after the interview to tell you about a special offer that she is providing just for my podcast audience
