Individuals
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Everyone faces issues at work that stump them. Everyone.
The realization that one wrong move may forever negatively impact your career or reputation causes most individuals to bear the trauma of suffering in silence while trying to figure out the best solution on their own.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
There are times when being able to speak confidentially to a strategic workplace or career expert you can trust (who is not connected to your employer) is invaluable. Receiving an objective perspective from a confidante with deep knowledge of HR and workplace dynamics can accelerate your odds for success when you begin implementing your final strategy or course of action.
Our team of HR consiglieres (expert HR advisors) is astute in a variety of areas, including but not limited to topics such as navigating conflict, professional development, employee relations, career progression, employment law, managing teams, employee rights, talent management, leadership, team building, organizational transformation, presentation prep, career transitions, and gaining buy-in of key stakeholders.

FAQs
How is Advising Different From Coaching?
Coaching is a long-term process that uses a mix of coaching techniques and deep questioning to help the coachee focus on personal growth and professional development. The coach merely facilitates helping the coachee to self-direct how to achieve goals on their own.
Advising is more similar to a mentor-mentee relationship, where it is more heavily focused on immediate outcomes such as problem-solving, ideation, strategic planning and decision-making. The advisor is more of a thought partner with the client, who targets input in the hopes of helping them make significant progress in solving the urgent issue at hand.
Conferrr has both coaches and advisors on staff, but engages them appropriately based on the needs and desires of each individual client.
NOTE: Neither coaching nor advising is considered therapy, and is not designed to help you work through deeper issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. A licensed therapist or physician should be consulted in these instances.
Who Are Your HR Consiglieres and How Can They Help?
Conferrr has our own staff of certified HR consiglieres, each who has 15+ years in at least 3 strategic HR specialties and who has progressed to an extremely high level of expertise. They were chosen from our broader team and have passed a rigorous skill/knowledge/previous experience verification process.
We are not a “marketplace” that matches you to unknown strangers. Our consiglieres work directly for us and have extensive proven experience serving as consultants for our parent company (SDL) and/or Conferrr. Through a careful vetting process when you request to book a session, we match you up with a member of our staff who will ensure you have the highest quality advisory experience possible.
But our real validation relies on customer reviews. Our expert HR Consiglieres are rated by clients after each engagement, and their ranking affects their likelihood of being matched with future Conferrr clients. If their ranking goes below 4/5, they’re immediately removed from our advisory pool.
For individuals, our advisors can support you on anything you may be struggling with – everything from disputes with colleagues to verifying your rights under employment laws to career strategies to team management.
For boards and companies, our advisors can also support you on complex HR or workplace issues, such as leader development, mergers and acquisitions, People/Talent infrastructures, team development, organizational realignments, succession planning, building high-performing teams, corporate governance and various talent strategies.
Can I Select My Own HR Consigliere?
What differentiates our service is that we are not a marketplace of 50K unverified profiles. We leverage our own real staff and personally match your request based on both the type and level of HR expertise you require as well as the availability of our HR Consiglieres. We are confident that you will have a wonderful experience with your assigned match.
If you happen to have a subpar experience, please inform us asap via the brief feedback form that you will receive, and we’ll do our best to rectify the situation.
What are Advisory Sessions Like and Are They Truly Confidential?
First of all, yes, your advisory sessions (and any submitted documents) will be kept confidential. Each of our HR Consiglieres has already signed an extensive Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Privacy Agreement. In addition, Conferrr prioritizes safety when handling your data, as per our Conferrr Privacy Policy.
In regard to what you will experience, once you submit your brief request form and payment, our intake team will immediately analyze your request and appoint an HR consigliere who specializes in your topic(s) of concern. You will be provided a link to schedule a convenient 45-minute meeting for you both via your choice of phone or video.
Up to two (2) email follow-ups are included in the price of the consultation, as your consigliere may desire to provide you with templates, sample verbiage, document reviews, resource links, or other supplementary support.
What Types of Topics Can I Discuss, as an Individual Representing Myself?
Our HR Consiglieres are specialists on any topic relating to HR, careers or the workplace. You can discuss any topic(s) you desire.
