10 Important Lessons for Consultants

January 9, 2009

This will be a combined presentation and interactive discussion of the major themes of Al's new book Life is a Paradox, sub-titled Counter-Intuitive Secrets to Personal & Professional Effectiveness. The book stems primarily from Al's extensive experience as a management consultant, and the counter-intuitive nature of the most important lessons in business and life. Each of the ten chapters covers an important paradox. In the January 9th IMC chapter meeting, Al will briefly cover each chapter, highlighting the chapters which relate most directly to our work as consultants, then facilitate an interactive discussion of the most important lessons for our consulting activities.
