Rachel Blackburn was pleased to be the first speaker for the new Consulting Society at UEA on Monday 13 November.

Around 30 enthusiastic students attended to learn about US2U Consulting, how Rachel got into the consultancy sector, the pros and cons of running a consultancy business and the key learning points from her career.

The evening started with the launch of the US2U Consulting Positive Difference music track which set the scene regarding some of the services we deliver for clients and also the energy required to be an effective consultant!

"The session was very well received by our students as it gave a real world overview of consultancy life" said Lucy O'Toole, the President of the UEA Consulting Society.

In a message to Rachel after the talk UEA Student and photographer for the event, Katharina Wodenitscharow, commented, "I just wanted to thank you again for your insightful talk! I thought it was amazing how straightforward you are, which made your presentation stand out compared to other employers and business owners I have heard speak!"
