Is Craft of Consulting for You?
Craft of Consulting is for accomplished professionals who are transitioning into being consultants or folks who have been consulting for a while. If you're just starting out, I can help you figure out how it all works and how to get your business going. If you've been doing it awhile, I can help you learn new skills and strategies to grow your business and to solve some of the pesky problems you might be having as a consultant.
​
Craft of Consulting is for any type of consultant. You don't have to be in a particular field. The information and tools here apply to all types of consultants, whether you’re with a firm or consulting independently. Craft of Consulting will help any consultant who generally has enough freedom and flexibility to make choices about what they do as a consultant.
​
Craft of Consulting is about honing your craft as a consultant. Elevating your craft is the key to building a successful and profitable business while also building the life you want. It enables you to delight your clients by being absolutely excellent at what you do. And, because money follows value, that excellence will translate into you becoming a gotta-hire-you consultant.
​
I’m excited to help you and share with you everything I have learned over the years about how to be a sought-after consultant while still enjoying time with my family and doing other things I love. I want to help you learn from my successes—and my mistakes—and fast track your success by avoiding the wrong roads and taking the right short cuts.
