Most career advice for BD, capture, and proposal professionals misses the mark.

Generic leadership tips don't account for the realities of government contracting—or the systemic barriers that women of color face in this field.

At Kanda Consulting, we cut through the noise. Our YouTube channel delivers practical strategies you can use immediately: how to position yourself for that next role, what hiring managers actually look for, and how to navigate the unwritten rules that often keep talented professionals stuck.

Watch real talk about career advancement

You'll find breakdowns of proposal career paths, salary negotiation frameworks that work in federal contracting, and honest discussions about building influence when you're not part of the old boys' club.

No fluff. No empty motivation. Just tested approaches from someone who's been there.

Whether you're trying to move from proposal coordinator to manager, transition from technical writing to capture, or finally get that BD director role, the channel gives you the roadmap others had to figure out the hard way.

New videos drop regularly.
