Shit happens. As much as we plan and organize, there is so much about running a business that is out of our control.

Which is why we invited risk expert Rosalie Ennes to the podcast - to talk about how to manage risk in your consulting business.

A risk management strategy can help you plan for the future, protect yourself from bad things happening, and also help you consider and calculate the upside of your business.

This is Rosalie's story:

Rosalie's journey into the world of risk management began during her college years, where she studied business administration and accounting.

The passion for mitigating risks ignited during her time working with large corporations, and as she ventured into consultancy, Rosalie found herself drawn to impact-driven businesses, aiming to instill a proactive risk management approach. Through her diverse experiences and unwavering commitment, she has become a beacon of guidance for small businesses and organizations, empowering them to navigate the intricate landscape of risk management with confidence and foresight
