First Sentence
In 1985, after I had been on my own for a couple of months at the age of 38, a human resources director at Merck & Co. who had known me from years prior called to ask if I'd be interested in a possible project running some focus groups on values and ethics. Read the first page

Mrs. Jane Leask - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Ultimate Consultant: Powerful Techniques for the Successful Practitioner (Ultimate Consultant Series) (Paperback)

This book was fantastic. I am just starting out as a Consultant and it was really good to see where I am aiming to be and have help getting there. The 'what would you have done differently' part of the case studies was really, really useful. I have learnt a lot and would recommend this book to anyone.

This review is from: The Ultimate Consultant: Powerful Techniques for the Successful Practitioner (Ultimate Consultant Series) (Paperback)

If you are thinking about going into consulting, then this might be a good book for you to read. If you're currently providing services as a consultant, then this book is also for you

There are many books available on the subject of consulting and this one is among the best. You'll be challenged and you might find Alan's approach a bit "cocky" at times, but I have used the same approaches over the years to build my own self -confidence and get clients to believe in the expertise I have to offer

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent real life comon sense consulting, 19 Feb 2002

Phil Richardson (Thoughtcrew) (Bath, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ultimate Consultant: Powerful Techniques for the Successful Practitioner (Ultimate Consultant Series) (Paperback)

Alan Weiss has a great writing style and this book is a must read for practicing consultants. It avoids the classic, how to set up a consulting business basics. Which puts it neatly into the 'how can I grow my practice' genre. It will motivate you to grow your business by adding value for your clients. There are some useful tips and I found myself dipping in for more ideas. It's the only consulting book I have read through. Buy it and get promoted.
