💼 9 Brutal Truths About Consulting—That No One Tells You Up Front Consulting looks glamorous from the outside—jet-setting, sharp suits, strategic impact. But behind the polished decks and boardroom briefs lies a truth that’s less romantic and more relentless. This brilliant visual by Dora Vanourek lays bare what every high-performing consultant learns the hard way: 🔻 1. Billable hours aren’t just a metric—they define your day. If you don't fiercely protect your time, the job will consume you. Track it. Cap it. Defend your mental bandwidth. 🔻 2. Trust trumps everything. Credibility isn’t built with frameworks; it’s built with follow-through. Deliver value early, even in small doses. 🔻 3. Your client’s goals are rarely just business. Know what promotion, political win, or legacy they're chasing—and align your outcomes with that. 🔻 4. 100-slide decks? Waste of effort. Your client will remember 2-3 ideas. Make those unforgettable. 🔻 5. Strategy doesn’t sell—relationships do. Coffee chats and hallway conversations are where the real consulting happens. Be human before you're brilliant. 🔻 6. The real issues aren’t in the tech. They’re in people, misaligned incentives, and fear of change. Decode the human layer first. 🔻 7. Burnout is real—and predictable. Set boundaries early. Learn to say “no” or your career will say it for you. 🔻 8. Everyone sells. Always. Every insight is a sales pitch. Sell solutions to their problems, not just your playbook. 🔻 9. Expertise is table stakes—calm under chaos wins. Clients don't just want answers. They want clarity, calm, and someone who makes ambiguity feel manageable. ✅ If you're in consulting or leadership, bookmark this post. 🤝 If you're mentoring someone in the field, share it with them—before they learn the hard way. This industry doesn’t reward effort. It rewards clarity, trust, and emotional stamina. Let’s build smarter, healthier, more human consulting cultures. #Consulting #Leadership #BurnoutPrevention #ClientSuccess #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustBuilding #ProfessionalGrowth #DoraVanourek #ModernLeadership #TruthAboutConsulting
