What it changed for them

Pamela has coached 60+ women in her business, and thousands more across her corporate career . Here's what they say.

"Pamela helped me see my Head of Revenue Operations experience as a product, not just a job title. I priced my first contract higher than I ever would have on my own."

Lainie Founder, Next Step Studio, former Head of Revenue Operations, Afterpay

"I'd done plenty of leadership development before. This was the first program that actually got me paid."

Melitta GM, Organisational Development

"The Flex Lens framework alone was worth it. I stopped discounting myself in the room."

Tanya Director, Customer Success, Founder, Her Pathway Forward

Thi Founder, Belief Built In

Who this is for

Already flexing

15–25+ years in corporate leadership, HR, or a related senior role. Already taking on fractional or consulting work, but pricing and marketing it like a side hustle instead of a business.

Considering the leap

Same seniority and experience, still inside corporate, seriously weighing whether to build flexible income, and wanting to do it properly instead of improvising.

By the time you finish, you'll have

01 A clear, packaged offer you can actually explain in one sentence.
02 Confident positioning, you know exactly what you're worth and why.
03 A premium pricing strategy you can defend without flinching.
04 An active pipeline of real conversations and paid work in motion.

You've done the work. You just haven't packaged it.

You have twenty years of judgment that companies pay a lot of money for. But it lives inside a CV and a job title, not an offer someone can buy. So it stays invisible, or you sell it for less than it's worth just to get the first yes.

Deep expertise that has never existed outside a CV or a job title.
Fear of reputational risk in stepping out on your own after decades inside a company name.
Undercharging just to get a foot in the door, then struggling to raise rates later.
Feeling behind, despite having the savings, time, and experience to do this properly.
Generating consistent leads feels impossible when you've never had to sell yourself before.
Doing it alone, when being around others making the same move could 10x your network.

Your coach

Pamela Stroud

I've led global talent acquisition teams and talent and workforce strategy for businesses from start-up to ASX-listed, private equity to founder-led, including REA Group, Bupa, and Transurban. At REA, during COVID, I led hiring for around 700 roles a year, in one of the most volatile tech markets in recent history. Earlier in my career, I've been responsible for hiring volumes of up to 2,000 roles a year.

Since going fractional myself, I've worked across tech, med tech, HR consulting, and government. I've sat in thousands of hiring decisions, interviewed thousands of candidates, and had thousands of career conversations, on both sides of the table. I know what companies are actually testing for, and what stops so many senior women before they even get in the room.

This isn't theory taught by someone who's never sent an invoice. I built this business myself, and I still run it today, the same transition I now teach.

Qualified corporate coach and NLP practitioner. Personally coached 50+ women through this exact shift.

Investment

12 weeks. Small groups, by design.

Standard
USD $6,000

The standard rate for the full 12-week program.

Masterclass path
USD $5,000

For anyone who's attended a masterclass and then had a strategy call with Pamela.

Evergreen and rolling, no fixed intake dates. Capacity is kept deliberately small so Pamela can coach personally alongside running her own fractional business.

What you're actually working toward

Not a certificate. A first fractional conversation, contract, or paid offer, the proof that this works, in your own market, on your own terms.

Guarantee If you complete the program and haven't landed at least one fractional conversation, contract, or paid offer within 90 days, Pamela keeps coaching you in the group at no extra cost until you do.

Questions

How is this different from the free workshop? +

That's an entry point, useful on its own, but built to introduce ideas, not implement them. Encore Flex is the full 12-week implementation: the mindset shift, the marketing, the sales process, and the money reality, with hot seat coaching to work through your specific situation.

What if I haven't left corporate yet? +

That's fine, a lot of clients start here. The program is built to help you decide with real information, and to start positioning and pricing before you make any leap, not after.

What's the actual weekly time commitment? +

Plan for a live online session, currently Friday mornings at 9am, plus a few hours of applied work each week, building your offer, having real conversations, adjusting as you go. Sessions are recorded, so missing one live doesn't mean missing it. This is done alongside a job or existing consulting work for most clients.

How does the USD $5,000 discount work? +

It's tied to a specific path: attend a masterclass, then have a strategy call with Pamela. If that's your route in, the program is USD $5,000 instead of the standard USD $6,000.

Do I need an existing network or audience to make this work? +

No. Twenty years in a career means twenty years of relationships already sitting in your network, former colleagues, former managers, clients, people you haven't spoken to in years but who still know your work. The Show Up phase is built around activating what you already have, not building an audience from nothing.

Do I have to post on LinkedIn constantly to make this work? +

No. Marketing at this level is a conversation, not a performance. You won't be handed a content calendar and told to post daily. The work is about who you reach out to and how, not how often you show up in a feed.

What if it turns out this isn't the right fit for me? +

That's exactly what the strategy call is for. If it's not aligned, I'll tell you honestly, not push you toward it anyway. This only works if it's genuinely right for where you're at.

Will I definitely land a fractional role or client? +

I can't promise a specific outcome, and I wouldn't trust anyone who does. What I can tell you: if you complete the program and haven't landed at least one fractional conversation, contract, or paid offer within 90 days, I'll keep coaching you in the group at no extra cost until you do.

What happens after the 12 weeks end? +

Support doesn't just stop. There's an alumni model available afterward, so you're not left figuring out the next stretch entirely on your own.

Is the investment really worth it? +

I won't pretend that's a small number, it isn't. But it's worth weighing against what happens if nothing changes, whether that's staying somewhere that isn't working, or trying to build fractional income alone with no real strategy behind it. Figuring it out yourself has a cost too, months of underpriced work, missed conversations, and slower income while you learn it the hard way. USD $6,000 once, against years of earning on your own terms, with no ceiling set by anyone else's budget, is a different equation than treating it as an expense you can't justify right now.

If this sounds like where you are, let's talk.
