Are consultants the answer?



Most of us wish we had more time (and more resources) to complete all the jobs we have -- at work and at home. Hiring consultants can help solve an immediate crisis, meet longer-term strategic objectives, or both. However, finding the right a consultant is not always easy. The process can be a time-consuming, risky, and expensive.

Join me in Reston, VA on Wednesday, September 21st between 5:30-8:15pm to explore the reasons why we should hire consultants (and why we shouldn’t), what makes a good consultant, and how to find the right one, at the right time. This high-energy and interactive session is targeted for consulting decision-makers and recommenders, consultants, and would-be consultants.  Take the opportunity to network with over 200 friends, colleagues, potential partners, and prospective customers over drinks, a sit-down dinner, and a thoughtful and entertaining presentation.  For $65 it’s one of the best investments you can make to learn how to win more and work less with real take-aways. Register by September 15th or risk losing out on this opportunity to unlock the mystery of consulting and take the first steps toward solving some of your most urgent needs.
