Why So Many Independent Consultants Can’t Land Clients Right Now | Coastal Edge Consulting

Independent consulting is changing fast — and if you’re struggling to land clients, thinking about becoming a consultant after a layoff, or wondering whether the market is simply over-saturated, you’re not alone. In this video, I explore what’s really happening in the world of independent consulting, especially as AI transforms knowledge work, job markets tighten, and more professionals turn to consulting as a way to stay employed. Over the past year, I’ve spoken with leadership consultants, change practitioners, organizational development professionals, strategists, and coaches who are experiencing the same thing: ➡️ fewer clients ➡️ longer gaps between contracts ➡️ increased competition ➡️ and growing uncertainty about the future of consulting This video isn’t about panic or hype. It’s about sense-making. I talk honestly about: Why independent consulting feels more crowded than ever How layoffs and job losses are pushing more people into consulting The difference between demand for consulting and supply of consultants Why experience alone is no longer enough to land clients How AI is reshaping consulting, advisory work, and knowledge-based services What kinds of consulting work are becoming harder to sell What types of consultants are likely to remain relevant in an AI-driven future Why “replaceable consulting” is struggling — and what that actually means How buyers are making decisions differently in tighter markets What to consider before moving into independent consulting after a job loss If you’re asking questions like: Is independent consulting over-saturated? Why can’t I land consulting clients even with strong experience? Is consulting still a viable career path? Will AI replace consultants and knowledge workers? Should I move into independent consulting after being laid off? This video is for you. I also explore a critical shift happening right now: As AI accelerates decision-making and automates large parts of traditional knowledge work, the human side of change becomes harder, not easier. That has major implications for consultants, especially those working in leadership, change management, organizational development, HR, learning, strategy, and transformation. Independent consulting isn’t disappearing — but it is evolving. And in a crowded market, clarity, specificity, and outcomes matter more than ever. 👇 I’d love to hear from you in the comments: Are you currently an independent consultant?
