Product reviews for Consult Yourself - Paperback Edition

Imagine this; there are great opportunities in consulting for you today!

In fourteen chapters, Harris invites you to imagine a world where doors open up for you, after you begin experiencing, "your own good feelings about yourself, as a successful consultant now. Harris has written what I call a "Self Regard' book for Consultants. Maybe a new category in the support resources for serious Management Consultants. Those who want access to tried and true guidance for consultancy success.

Very mainstream in much of its content, Harris integrates NLP in the way it applies to serious management consultancy. In the 14 chapters, Harris deals with the following: What Is Consultancy, Consultancy and You, Becoming A Consultancy, Defining and Establishing Your Business, Controlling and Promoting Your Business, Enhancing Your Business, Consultancy Techniques, Self Management, Managing Work Effectively, Building Effective Relationship, Facilitating Change Through Influence, Client Interfaces, Helping Others Develop, and Business Writing.

Going through the 14 chapters you will notice that Harris opens the reader up to authentic "Self Appreciation'. Prioritising and honouring yourself as a consultant first is what this book resonates to. It is part of the self care message that Harris is transmitting for all Management Consultants, operating in any industry. Harris puts together all the elements of consulting into an all embracing text which supports all of your goals for your consultancy.

Harris puts together the big and smaller pieces of the consulting puzzle which have been missing in other texts. Harris has produced a comprehensive text for any consultant. Setting out a set of' mandatory, tasks and techniques that all professional consultants adhere to, knowingly or not. Yet also opens you up to establishing a positive attitude to oneself using NLP Instead of waiting with worry or concern about where consulting work will come

Harris asks you to create your own idea of success. To turn around ideas like, "I need this consultancy to be happy or a success", instead she asks you to reverse that. Harris asks you to re-define success for yourself using simple exercises. E.g. Harris asks you to create the energy of happiness and success first. Instead encouraging you to have a full life and engage in a lot of things that make you feel optimistic. So Harris gets you to look at the' whole approach' to consultancy.

A high regard for yourself is at the heart of this book. Only then do you work on your goals with determination. The book helps you to change your energy around consulting and helps you to feel empowered. Harris treats you as a professional from the beginning and respects that all careers have their specialist secrets. All careers have their own way of doing things.

This book is true to the consultants agenda. A consultant's list of items is fully addressed and acknowledged: Business development issues, self management issues, work issues, relationship issues, client management issues, ethical issues, cultural issues, development issues. The guide is an authentic protective guide for consultants, allowing them to nurture and pay attention to the very specialised skills which need to be prioritised in the make up of a consultant.
