The worst feeling for consultants is stagnation.

The worst feeling for consultants is stagnation.

Especially if you're ambitious.

Some symptoms:

  • Company sets mediocre goals
  • Client pressures
  • Competitive games
  • Stalled initiatives
  • Disengaged stakeholders
  • Daily grind
  • Tick box annual appraisals

These would be my worst nightmare.

Instead, build a personal practice like an enterprise:

  • Make the organisation your supplier (mentally, radical I know!)
  • Set stretch-stretch goals for yourself
  • Focus on influential relationships
  • Set out to win high-value clients
  • Create a stand-out personal brand
  • Find and work with the best people
  • Become the person best people want to work with

Rinse and repeat these and you'll thrive, not stagnate.

Question:

How much do YOU want to drive your growth as a consultant?
