Want to become a great consultant?

Not just good—great.

Then master the art of understanding people.

Start here:
↳ Thinking patterns.
↳ Attitude to toward risk.
↳ Pressures, priorities, ambitions.

Learn to see the world through their eyes.

Next, consider:
↳ Managing reputation.
↳ Finding a project partner.
↳ Placing a bet on their advice.

Make sure you consider these from their perspective.

Ask yourself:
↳ Why would they trust you?
↳ Champion you to their boss?
↳ Make that leap?

Now be that great consultant—the one they can’t ignore.
