>> You have to like problem solving and be a critical thinker.
You also have to be an excellent communicator.
And that is, and you have to use different skills of being intuitive as well as,
in your decision making rational, so kind of a balance between guessing at things
and then using experience and knowledge to figure out and solve, solve problems.
And so the critical thinking is asking all the questions, asking the right questions,
continuing to drill down and to make sure that when you're working with your clients
and your customers that you are solving the problem that is there,
not the problem they want you, they think is there.
And so that's really critical.
And you know, when you're not doing that, you're just doing very cursory things
and you're never solving the problem and they won't have you back.
They won't have you back.
And the key to staying in business is being able to have customers develop confidence and trust
in you and know that you're helping them be, to do the things that they're trying,
help them meet the results and changes that they want to see happen.
In effect, when you're a consultant, you are a change agent
and you're facilitating that change.
