Ever wondered about businesses named after their owner? Isn’t that a bit self-centered?
It’s fascinating to observe the coaching and consulting landscape today, teeming with independent professionals who have embraced the practice of naming their businesses after themselves. A quick LinkedIn or Google search will reveal a multitude of ‘John Does’ and ‘Jane Smiths’, each promising to guide you toward success. It’s a thriving, bustling space where professionals are stepping forward, not hiding behind corporate branding, but showcasing their individual skills and experiences.
When I first stepped into the world of coaching and consulting 16 years ago, I had one goal in mind: to catalyze change and growth for individuals and businesses. As a fledgling sole proprietor, the path of least resistance for naming my venture seemed to be using my own name. It was simple, authentic, and unmistakably me.
Yet, as the years rolled on, this straightforward choice unfolded into something far more profound. The name Roberta Pellant Consulting gradually evolved – from just a label on my business card to an embodiment of my unique approach to coaching and consulting.
This metamorphosis wasn’t overnight but was a result of the ‘hustle’ of my experiences, lessons learned, and the value I strived to provide to my clients. My name became more than an identity; it morphed into a symbol of my unwavering commitment to delivering transformative results.
Today, Roberta Pellant Consulting represents a promise, a pledge of powerful transformation through strategic insight. But this isn’t just about a name. It has become a symbol of my services as a dedicated business coach and consultant. So, what’s in a name?
Let’s unpack that thought using my business and name as an example. After playing around a little with Chat GPT, this is the best iteration and acronym to represent not only myself, but my business as well.

As you can see, behind every letter of my name is a pledge to you, a promise of the values I bring to the table. So, is it egotistical to name a business after oneself? I say, if the business can deliver results like I strive to do, it’s nothing less than a stroke of brilliance. My name is more than just an identity – it’s a commitment. A commitment to deliver exceptional value, to inspire transformational change, and to nurture success. Some may interpret the naming of my business after myself as egotistical, but when the name carries a promise of unwavering dedication and powerful results, it transcends ego.
