How this course is organised
Consulting is not some mysterious art. Successful consultants need both hard (e.g. problem-solving, domain expertise) skills and soft skills, but ultimately must add value to the clients that ultimately pay their consulting fees. However, it's also about finding the areas of consulting that play to your strengths, where you can shine, and navigating your career accordingly.
