Chapter 14
Key consulting tips
When dealing with the big topic of consulting, especially when trying to write for all consultants, one challenge was deciding what to leave out. I have rejected topics from this book because they are of marginal relevance, critical only to a subset of consultants, or not ideas that are best conveyed in a book. That left me with a long list of thoughts or tips that will be useful to consultants but which do not fit neatly into any of the preceding chapters.
The tips are varied. Some are helpful but not obvious to someone starting out in consulting. Others are unusual ways to think about consulting. The tips come from my experience as a consultant. I hope you find them useful.
