Do you have a consulting website? For many consultants and coaches - both new and seasoned - they see their website as nothing more than an online brochure or resume. They believe myths such as "you can't find clients through your website" or "your website plays a small role in your business" and wind up leaving money and opportunity all over the table.

“How can I attract clients right now? Why are things so hard? I seem to have run out of ideas. Why can’t I create some momentum?”. If you’ve been thinking thoughts like this recently, you’re not alone. When I think of the enormity of what we’re all going through right now, I’m kinda surprised I’m not depressed all the time! But I keep plugging at things because… there’s really no alternative.

Last week, Matthew Sherrington wrote that managers and leaders are gaslighting their staff in the charity and not-for-profit sector by creating toxic work cultures (see Matthew’s blog here ). The drive to do more, more, more – and yet never doing enough can be overwhelming as demand for services and support is endless. This is then compounded with messaging around the need for staff wellness and resilience in the face of such pressure, which leaves staff feeling like they are underachievin

Personal websites. Everyone should have one. . Intuitively, I believe this is true. But why? My personal website, the website you’re reading now, has been everything to me. My career, my business, my life’s work — all wrapped up into one neat, 2-dimensional digital package. But what about others? Am I just a lone weirdo, obsessed with “cloning” my self through my website?

One of the participants in my virtual workshop on better decision making suggested that I stop using the term “problem solving.” In his company, they use the term “ problem learning.” I hadn’t heard that expression before, but I really like it. When we talk about “problem solving,” we’re subtly pushed towards finding an answer, fixing the situation, and moving on.

Some of the most brilliant insights in life are simple to understand but not always easy to act on. I like making the distinction between these two concepts. For example, running a great business is simple… but not easy. You find a customer with an annoying problem who’s struggling to find an adequate solution. You solve the problem. You charge for what you do at a level that’s higher than your costs.

If you allow yourself to deal with low-level people in organizations, you will be considered their peer and executives will not deal with you any more than they want to deal with them. If you seek to work with Human Resources because those people will talk to you, you won’t be talking to true buyers. HR people can say “no” but not “yes.” Your intellectual property, body of work, brand, and demeanor must be relevant to buyers and focused on them.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, for many economies and industries, acted as something of a wrecking ball and, inevitably, the consulting industry is no exception: Our current estimate is a global fall in consulting revenues of 16% during the course of 2020. But compare this to our much lower projected contraction in risk consulting, where we currently estimate that revenues will fall by less than 10%, and it’s clear that there are some very different dynamics at play here.
