When I met with three aspiring consultants who are very passionate about parlaying their experience to help companies create healthy work environments and engaged employees. They almost fell out their chairs when I told them that I am starting to see that employee engagement is actually unethical. What I DON'T mean when I say this is that companies should not strive to have work environments free from unethical business practices and abusive and inconsiderate leaders who make their employees liv

It is a principle universally acknowledged that projects often fail because of people. If you can manage your stakeholders, you have a much greater chance of success. The life of a project manager is a tricky one. A constant balancing act – trying to keep your project on track, to time, to budget, with excellent deliverables; whilst also trying to keep other people happy.

At some point all consultants will be on the hook to lead a senior team meeting. Meetings get such a bad rap now and are perceived as a waste of time either because they lack purpose, focus or exceptional facilitator who is able to draw together and synthesize disparate perspectives. A key way that you can establish your credibility as a consultant and offer tremendous client value is through the process you use to get a senior team "singing off the same song sheet.".

We often hear that agile is a mindset. That we need to change our thinking to use agility. Is that correct? That you need to change how you think first, before anything else? I can think I change my mindset all day long. However, I don't change until I change my actions, my behaviors. That's because a mindset is your intention, not what you do. Behaviors are what we do.

One of the most mentioned career paths after graduating from Harvard is consulting. It is one of the few industries, apart from investment banking, that is a stereotype for every graduating class, and people start preparing for it from freshman year through joining multiple consulting clubs on campus.

Those folks continue to prepare for their eventual consulting careers.

You just don’t feel that what you are offering is worthy, good enough, or valuable. And when that happens you just close down. You want to hide. You certainly don’t want to get out there, market your services, or meet with prospective clients.

About a hundred years ago, I hiked the Appalachian Trail (AT) from Springer Mountain in Georgia, to Mt. Katahdin in Maine. I finished those 2,190 miles in 5 and ½ months. As one of the first 100 or so women to earn the title of ‘thru-hiker,’ I was about as full of myself as someone who attends a prestigious college, and never quite gets over it. At parties, I would endeavor to casually slip my AT merit badge into the conversation, as subtle as a brick through a window.

For many employees, spending hours on end reviewing massive training modules isn’t an effective way to learn. Fatigue can set in surprisingly quickly, causing them to lose focus and struggle with knowledge retention. Additionally, since they may not put everything they learned to work right away, retention can tumble even further. Luckily, there is a better way.

We are one month into the new year … yet many leaders are already feeling the drain of burnout. And no, COVID-19 is not to blame. It may be exacerbating matters, but the root cause has nothing to do with the pandemic. Rather, the source of burnout is the fact that these leaders are essentially filling two or even three seats on their leadership team, even though they have people in those seats.

A good manager brings out the best in people. The classic example of the leader that “kicks butt and takes names” while caustically motivating the team is out of date. It does not work. It never did. As Colin Powell describes in the above quote, leaders without employee problems are failures. You see, employees are not assets that you manipulate or abuse through strategic analysis or business intelligence.

If you want to raise your rate, one of the easiest paths forward is to raise the value of your service. Then, once you’ve increased the value, you can raise your price a bit, so you better capture that increased value. An excellent first step is this thought exercise: How can I make my service MORE valuable to my client? How can it save them more money or time or help them make more money?
