The Art of Consulting

As a consultant, joining a team and adding value without alienating client's employees is an art form. It requires the ability to lead change, integrate yourself into the team, collaborate with others, influence those who may not be open to change, and engage with subject matter experts in meaningful ways.

🔸 Understand the dynamics of the team

🔸 Understand how each individual contributes

🔸 Engage subject matter experts and leverage their knowledge and experience

🔸 Recognize potential roadblocks and develop strategies for overcoming them.

This requires a combination of communication skills, emotional intelligence and strategic thinking that will help foster relationships between all stakeholders involved.

It is an art form that requires practice but can yield great rewards when done correctly.
