Her clients include leaders in financial services, professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, government, and associations.What makes Liz interesting for consulting firm owners is how she works with leaders: high-trust advisory relationships, recurring strategic conversations, and deep involvement in implementation and succession, not just “offsite and done” planning. She’s one of fewer than 100 professionals to hold both the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designations, and she’s been recognized as a Top 30 Global Guru on Leadership and a top HR/leadership influencer.We’ll unpack how she structures these advisory relationships, how she’s built a firm around strategic and succession planning, and how she continues to stay in the room with clients as plans turn into decisions, org changes, and leadership moves.**********************************************************Proposed Interview Structure:1. You’ve been running Weber Business Services since the early 90s. What originally pulled you into management consulting and then into this very specific niche of strategic and succession-focused leadership advisory?2. When a CEO or board first brings you in, what’s usually “broken” beneath the surface, is it strategy, leadership capacity, governance, or something else, and why does it matter so much to solve it?3. You work with owners, C-Suites, boards, and often family-owned or 1st/2nd-generation businesses. Who is your true buyer today, and what’s different about advising a board versus advising an executive team?4. From the outside, it looks like you’ve built a strong authority platform: books, board roles, global speaking, and daily content. What have been the most reliable ways you attract the right executive and board-level clients?5. Advisory and strategic planning engagements are often high-stakes and long-cycle. Walk us through a typical deal: from first conversation to signed engagement, what moves it forward, and what usually stalls it?6. You’ve worked with some clients for years, sometimes through multiple strategy cycles and leadership transitions. What do you intentionally do to retain clients, to keep them coming back, expand the relationship, and turn initial projects into long-term advisory work?7. As a strategic leadership advisor and board consultant, where do you find yourself most stuck right now (if at all)?8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities in your field over the next few years?*********************************************************************Know more about Liz WeberWebsite Link: https://www.wbsllc.com/keynote/why-liz/Connect with Liz Weber LinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizwebercmc/Email: [email protected] to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/

His approach is hands-on and grounded in strategy, clarity, and financial discipline, the opposite of the “pop-up coach” trend. He and his team at BGES bring big-company thinking into the SME world, helping owners build businesses that can scale and eventually sell for the right price.In the episode, we explore how he designs strategic roadmaps, identifies value gaps, and future-proofs operations so owners can pay themselves properly, take time off, and eventually exit on their own terms. Eric brings the perspective of someone who’s sat in executive seats at billion-dollar companies, judged regional business awards, and worked side-by-side with founders to transform both growth and valuation.His reputation is built on outcomes, clients turning losses into profit, reshaping business models, and doubling valuations, and on his willingness to put skin in the game through profit-share arrangements.**********************************************************Proposed Interview Structure:1. You started in accounting and moved through CEO, GM, and advisory roles before founding BGES, what pushed you toward helping SMEs and focusing on growth and exit strategy?2. What core problem do you see most SME owners facing today, and why do so many stay stuck in firefighting instead of building a scalable business?3. Who are your ideal clients at BGES right now, what types of businesses and which decision makers inside them usually bring you in?4. How do the right clients typically find you, and what have you done in your own marketing that consistently brings in high quality & long term advisory clients?5. When a potential client first reaches out to you about growth or exit, how do you take them from that initial exploratory conversation to a clear mandate and a committed engagement?6. Once a client signs with you, how do you structure the relationship so they stay, expand, and keep coming back, what do you intentionally do to build trust, prove value, and turn engagements into long term partnerships?7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as a consultant and firm owner, whether it’s scaling BGES, delegating, protecting your time, or something else entirely (if at all)?8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities for SMEs, and the biggest risks, over the next few years, especially around valuation, automation and future-proofing?*********************************************************************Know more about Eric TjoengWebsite Link: https://bges.co/Connect with Eric Tjoeng LinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/etjoeng/Email: [email protected] to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/
