Consulting Lifestyle

Welcome to Consulting Lifestyle. I'm honored and happy to restart the show.

The past 10 months have been difficult for me to create quality content, but I'm excited about getting back into the swing of things. Work and family have to come first, so I need some time to really get back into my groove.

I'm also very excited to be able to start focusing on the B2B side of consulting again, which will make this show a lot more interesting for you...

OK, this episode is a little bit controversial.

Most consultants hate the hourly model. They don't like it, because it's purely based on how much you work and nothing else. Some consultants see this as a disadvantage, but there are also some positive sides to working with an hourly model that pays off in the end...

In a recession, it can be hard to predict what you'll need to do to keep your business running smoothly and make sure you're invested in the long-term success of your company. But what if I told you that there are actually things that you can do to position yourself for the future? 

I love to tell you about them here today.

Today's episode is all about how to position yourself as a B2B consultant when there is a recession and what exactly that means...

We all know that knowledge sharing is one of the keys to success in any industry, but it's especially true for the SAP consulting industry. If you're trying to make a name for yourself as an SAP consultant, then learning from other consultants is going to be essential. This episode is all about finding good sources of knowledge sharing and how you can put that knowledge into practice.

The guest for today’s episode is John Jordan...

This week on the Consulting Lifestyle Podcast, I'm going to be talking all about power play.

If you've ever been in a situation where you felt like you had a lot of power over somebody else, or if you've ever felt like you were being taken advantage of by someone who was much more powerful than you, you're probably familiar with this concept...

Today, I'm joined by Lindsay Lapaquette, who is a leadership communication skills specialist and the Founder of Collaborative Solutions. Lindsay had a career that's quite interesting and different from most consultants.
