ATD’s New Handbook for Consultants [REVIEW]

I’m excited to announce ATD’s new Handbook for Consultants, a definitive guide that unpacks what it takes to run a successful consulting practice that delivers world-class solutions for clients — with all the benefits of a self-directed work life.

Learn From The Best

Masterminded and edited by my friend, the incomparable Elaine Biech, this handbook brings together tips and tools from luminaries like Peter Block (Chapter 1: What Is Still True), and Anne Herrmann-Nehdi (Chapter 7: The 5 Ps of Business Strategy), and Marshall Goldsmith (Chapter 14: Coaching: Try Feedforward Instead of Feeback).

What’s Inside the ATD Handbook for Consultants?

If you are an aspiring consultant, or a veteran who is looking to refresh and re-invigorate, this book will quickly become your best friend. Five sections cover five key aspects of consulting.

Section I: Exploring Consulting: So You Want To Be a Consultant?

Section III: Getting Started: Your Plan for Success

Section III: Delivering Results: The Work of a Consultant

Section IV: Developing Business: Finding and Keeping Clients

Section V: Focusing on Your Future: Define Sucess Your Way

We Feel Honored to Be Included

Next Element is honored that Elaine Biech invited us to contribute to this book. We are humbled to be included in this seminal project. Check out Chapter 28: Passive Income: Make Your Consulting Products and Services Work for You, where you can get tips from our journey. Here’s a brief summary.

In 2008 I left a clinical practice to start a consulting business along with three colleagues. At first, we relied exclusively on third-party assessments and training materials, but over time we realized we had developed some unique and valuable approaches that we could monetize. Fifteen years later, we have published four books, created several validated assessments and outcomes measurement tools, refined a proven framework for Compassionate Accountability®, and built a robust certification and licensing model that supports over 100 consultants around the world. All of these efforts are part of our core strategy and help us advance our mission to bring Compassionate Accountability to every workplace while making an honest living.
