Soft skills in consulting are not just important—they're essential. The ability to build trust, both within teams and with clients, coupled with close collaboration with stakeholders and peers, truly sets apart top consultants. These skills, along with learning how to navigate conflict peacefully, understanding and addressing diverse client needs, and swiftly adapting to changing circumstances, contribute significantly to client satisfaction, team cohesion, and the overall success of consulting engagements.

As someone deeply committed to being a lifelong learner. I'm always on the lookout for ways to enhance my professional skills to excel in my current role and beyond.

The course provided a refreshingly honest perspective on navigating the complexities of the consulting world. Amy's no-nonsense approach cut through the fluff and provided practical strategies for success. What stood out to me the most was Amy's emphasis on recognizing and leveraging existing skills while also identifying areas for growth. Her insights not only demystified the consulting landscape but also instilled a newfound sense of confidence in my abilities.

Salesforce Consultant/Technology Specialist
This course has really given me insight into all of the aspects of consulting that matter to the client and teams, and it has shown me how to put these into practice. It gave clear examples and definitions as well as provided tools and resources to jump start each concept. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to improve their client and team relationships and to streamline their work processes. This applies to consultants, and even solo administrators, but could be used by anyone wanting to be a good consultant in just about any field. Investing in oneself is the single best thing you can do.

Anthony R.
Developer
I enrolled in this course to become more competitive in the hiring field. A major highlight was learning to understand clients' MVPs (Minimum Viable Product) and using the tools in the Pro’s Toolbox. I’ve been able to immediately apply these by using MVPs to prevent requirements from drifting, allowing projects to get out faster and helping clients build a backlog for future sprints.
This course has also boosted my confidence as a consultant! After the training I started focusing on how to collaborate better with the end user, and driving client ownership. This has reduced time, cost and helped us find potential errors a lot faster. Our Clients are happy and our reputation is growing! Getting a serious head start in understanding the practices that generate success and observing how the best in the field operate is worth every penny!

Chris G.
Communications & Marketing Consultant
Moving from non-profit direct service work to a support role in a technical field is intimidating, but this course gave me the confidence boost I needed. During the course, I decided to re-engage my freelance work. I used the information shared on managing client dynamics; building out project timelines; and knowing and owning the value I can bring to a project – and landed TWO CLIENTS! Both of these clients are non-profits, and the projects are in the areas of marketing and communications/storytelling. While I am not working directly with Salesforce in these roles, I am seeing how this experience can tie into a career in Salesforce, especially on the marketing and fundraising side. In this course I learned there is no straight line to a Salesforce career… but, in fact, the skills you pick up along the journey are valuable and can translate very well!
