19. So You Want To Be a Consultant
Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "So You Want To Be a Consultant".
I was in the consulting field for over 14 years. I have many fond memories of being a technical expert, trusted advisor, mentor, sponsor, and more. With this podcast, I hope that you are inspired to learn more about becoming a consultant. There are so many amazing skills that you learn by becoming one, and many great relationships that you get to build and experience throughout the years.
Takeaways:
The skills that you need to master: Communication, Stakeholder Management, Empathizing with the Customer, Planning, Paying Attention to Detail, Time Management, and Understanding in-scope and out-of-scope project requirements.
Project phases: Internal Kick-Off, External Kick-Off, Discovery, Design, Implementation, Testing, Go-Live, First Day Support, and Closing the project.
Building great relationships, becoming a trusted advisor and understanding the impact you make when successfully completing any project that you are a part of.
Learning to build communication skills, branding, proficiency, and building trust with the business partners are vital skills.
