The worst feeling for consultants is stagnation.

The worst feeling for consultants is stagnation.

Especially if you're ambitious.

Some symptoms:

- Company sets mediocre goals
- Client pressures
- Competitive games
- Stalled initiatives
- Disengaged stakeholders
- Daily grind
- Tick box annual appraisals

These would be my worst nightmare.

Instead, build a personal practice like an enterprise:

- Make the organisation your supplier (mentally, radical I know!)
- Set stretch-stretch goals for yourself
- Focus on influential relationships
- Set out to win high-value clients
- Create a stand-out personal brand
- Find and work with the best people
- Become the person best people want to work with

Rinse and repeat these and you'll thrive, not stagnate.

Question:

How much do YOU want to drive your growth as a consultant?
