Consulting for Real People

A practical book for any established or aspiring consultant, leader or manager involved in day to day change in any organisation, large or small.

Client-centred consulting has been extraordinarily effective in helping consultants from vastly different professional disciplines and coming from a wide range of organisations to genuinely change the way they work with their clients.

This is because:

• The emphasis is on skill practice rather than on theoretical discussion.
• We will support and encourage you while you practise your skills with real clients and client groups, with real problems and real feelings about these problems.
• We treat the workshop as a consulting assignment not a course. This will give you opportunities to work as a consultant when helping the group and individuals deal with the real difficulties they have when they work together.
• You will have opportunities to experience every phase of the consulting cycle from contracting to disengagement.
• You will be encouraged to extend your range of consulting styles, by experiencing those styles as both client and consultant.
• We will provide you and your manager, with an individual briefing prior to the programme. This will help you to be better prepared to take opportunities afforded by the programme.
• You will be given feedback from other participants which will help you to:
  • develop self awareness
  • gather insights on how you are perceived by your clients
  • explore some of your underlying values as they affect the way you consult and offer help
  • work on improving your self-esteem.

Prior to the programme

You will be asked to read selected excerpts from "Consulting for Real People" (McGraw Hill) by Peter Cockman, Bill Evans and Peter Reynolds. This means you are able to devote maximum time during the programme to practising skills rather than learning theories and models.
