Imagine your consulting clients are donuts (this is helpful in many, many ways) and the attention you give them is glaze. Obviously, the more attention you slather on your clients, the better. Consulting clients love to be attended to. Substantial, personal, genuine attention creates happy, loyal clients.

It’s not about how much money you make. It’s about how much you keep, what you do with that, and how it impacts your life, your freedom, your flexibility, your family, your community, and so forth. This is what profitability consulting is all about according to Thor Conklin, founder and CEO of Peak Performance Group. Sometimes it’s as simple as shifting around the mindset from the tactical side to executive coaching and trying to figure.

To win business and deliver results - all consultants MUST cultivate their political savvy. While we may think that executives hire consultants for economic reasons - the reality is that more often that not, we're brought in for political reasons. Politics is not necessarily a bad thing. Politics gets its bad rap when leaders operate out of self-interest versus the best interest of others.

Many people struggle to pursue what they really want, out of fear of what people will think. When I hear this, I always ask, “Which specific people?”. As in, "What are their names?". In many cases, the other person has a hard time responding. They’ll often say, “You know, ‘people.'”. The great irony is that when everyone is so worried about what other people will think, they’re often too busy worrying about others judging their life to judge their own.

Creativ Studio HeinemannE/Getty Images. As a college professor, I regularly train PhD students. In psychology and most fields of science, students are assigned to a project early on in their studies and learn key skills through an apprenticeship model. Many go onto to take on projects related to more specific research goals, and are eventually taught to design their own studies — a slow and painstaking process.

“I like being in control. I don’t like to listen to anything from anybody.”. The above is from the owner of a struggling business on the TV show Restaurant Impossible. When my wife and I heard it we immediately hit rewind so we could play it again and transcribe it. I’m sure there are all kinds of fancy names for this as it’s one of the most common traits of business owners, especially founders.

Even though self-awareness — knowing who we are and how we’re seen — is important for job performance , career success , and leadership effectiveness , it’s in remarkably short supply in today’s workplace. In our nearly five-year research program on the subject, we’ve discovered that although 95% of people think they’re self-aware, only 10 to 15% actually are.

One more stop after this (Albuquerque, NM) before we make like geese and head south for the winter. Last week I wrote about the differences between email newsletters and blogs. Both allow you to communicate with your audience of leads, prospects, clients, and referral sources – but in different ways and with different results.

Fewer than 1% of our population works hard to divide us. To pit people against one another for their selfish aims. These are the pundits, divisive politicians, media companies and short-term trolls who have decided that schisms and fights are a good way to achieve their aims. But if everyone is demonizing the other, then everyone is the enemy to someone.
