April Founding Cohort
Over four weeks, you will build the business infrastructure behind a consulting practice that generates stable, sustainable income, with a clear model, a pricing framework, a client acquisition strategy, and a 12-month roadmap to execute against.
Sessions run every Thursday in April at 11am EST, starting April 9. Each 90-minute session combines presentation, Q&A, group work, and breakout sessions, designed for real-time application. Participants also receive access to a private WhatsApp group throughout the month to ask questions, share progress, bounce ideas, and get feedback between sessions. Weekly homework keeps the work moving forward.
The cohort is capped at 8 to 10 participants and priced at $597 for this founding cohort. Applications are reviewed individually and space is limited.

I'm Liz Grossman Kitoyi.
I've spent nearly 20 years building a consulting practice across governments, multilateral institutions, and private-sector clients in Africa, the U.S., and global markets. I built Baobab Consulting from the ground up, operating across 20+ countries.
And I know this business from both sides: as an independent consultant bidding for work, and as a senior insider reviewing and awarding it.
Too many people fall into consulting without ever treating it like a business. Most wing it and wonder why the income never stabilizes, the clients never quite fit, or the work feels unsustainable. This program exists to change that.
Whether you're exploring consulting for the first time, ready to build serious infrastructure around your practice, or looking for strategic advisory support, everything here is designed to help you build something that lasts.
