Most consultants are winging it or fed up, or both. 

They don't have to be either.

New consultants are expected to be self-sufficient from day one, but in an era of hybrid working, learning by observing more senior colleagues is rarer and more precious than ever. You can't read every book. You can't do every course. And the feeling that everyone but you has it all figured out can take years to subside.

Consulting Cracked is your mentor-style guide – short, self-contained lessons designed as a year of weekly mentoring sessions. Drawn from a career of project work, observations from coaching consultants, and the conversations the consultants are quietly having about the parts of the job nobody warns them about.

In four sections:

·      The Basics: what everyone needs to be clear on before they start

·      The Fundamentals: the everyday craft of consulting and change

·      The Human Factors: the people side that makes or breaks projects

·      The New Essentials: the topics other consulting books don't cover - hybrid working, behavioural science, wellbeing, bias, vulnerability, and how to build a career worth staying in

Honest, practical, and warm - for new consultants, experienced consultants, business leaders, and those in adjacent roles in transformation, change, and project management.
