Consultants and Consulting

For many years, I was a consultant. I am grateful:

• To every consultant who survived managing me, or working alongside me. You helped me grow.
• To every client who trusted me with improving their organization’s results and all their people who did most of the work. You kept me learning and shared the pride of achievement.

Now I am a writer. I wrote this book:

Traveling the Consulting Road is a book about consulting for new consultants, students investigating the field, and for more senior consultants who find themselves coaching newbies. These are the funny stories, lessons-learned-the-hard-way, and tools and methodologies used, from my thirty-seven year consulting career. The book traces the trajectory of a consulting career with information about the evolution of the industry, and specific advice about getting hired, succeeding inside a firm or as an independent if you choose.

I wrote to share what I learned with new consultants and candidates and give some smiles of recognition to old pros and mentors. 

Very few writers get rich writing and fewer writing business books. There are a few best selling business book authors Peters and Waterman, Stephen Covey, Jim Collins, James Clear. These folks have raised the bar so high that I can comfortably walk under it. 

Still what writer doesn’t want at least some readers. So I hope my LinkedIn connections, followers and group members will read my book and if you like it tell others about it.

As a little pre-New-Year, pre-Launch “Thank you for your support” present I have priced all three versions of the book at a substantial discount for my followers.

It’s on Amazon. You will find it here.

Thanks in advance for your interest and support.
