    Great list! So true!
  • Paul Hebert · 2 years ago
    The time to dump a consultant is when they start talking. If they are listening you probably got a good one.

    I think I was behind that same yellphoner on my way back from Providence. Do you think that they are compensating for somehting?

    Hey, Tuna, yep, I was thinking the same thing. This guy knows all the words to Viva Viagra.

    Paul...that's so funny...and depressing, especially because my job is a communication consultant. I have a client meeting this afternoon, and I'll take your words under advisement. LOL..two ears, one mouth. Coincidence?

    Solid.

    Funny!

    Also if your consultant uses the word 'transparency' ONCE, in any context, send 'em packing!

    Wait, first ask if he knows what he means....nah...send 'em packing..
  • Frank Roche · 2 years ago
    Ruthie, that makes me laugh...especially the last sentence. I may have to find a new profession...just to be transparent. ;-)

    As a consultant myself, I think the appropriate response to your post is THANK YOU! The more clients expect consultants to strike a "listening posture," understand their clients, and develop real solutions to real client problems, the better....at least for those of us who hold ourselves to those standards ;-)

    Thank you again,

    Frank,
    It amazes me who hires these obnoxious guys, anyway. If you have a consultant and know this person is anywhere public,request that he/she search for a land line. It will be quite a challenge finding one of those while boarding a flight!
