>> I've always loved consulting
environment provides me the opportunity
to learn a lot of different things.
I worked in every, probably every industry that
you can think of over my 26 years of consulting.
It's not a standard job where I kind of show up
at a desk and do the same thing every single day
or I do the same thing each month.
I have a lot of opportunities to do different
things every day, a lot of different challenges.
I have in my past and in my
staff travelled an awful lot.
That can be very challenging on your personal
life in trying to balance the things you have
to do in your life so flexibility
and meeting those kind
of work-life demands can be a real
challenge in the consulting business.
I think the challenges also can be the
demands of demanding clients at times.
Most of my clients have been absolutely
wonderful to work with, a challenge
but a welcome challenge because
you can team with them and partner
with them to solve their problems.
Some of those relationships
aren't as good as you'd like
and they can be a real challenge as well.
So you have to work on those and then
kind of make sure you find a way,
a common ground with those challenging clients.
