thoughts you should know...

What's the best way to kill your creativity (and that of those around you)? Practice these statements and before long, you'll be a professional creativity-whacker:

  • "We tried that before"
  • "It's a good idea, but we really don't have time to implement it"
  • "You're joking, of course"
  • "That's all very well in theory but practically speaking…"
  • "Top management will never go for it"
  • "We've never done it that way before"
  • "I'm afraid you're ahead of your time"
  • "Has anyone else ever tried this?"
  • "We should form a committee and study your idea further"

thought leader university...

How much is your consulting practice worth in real dollars?

  • Are you earning the highest levels of income?
  • Do you stand out from your competitors?
  • If you sold your business, would it bring you a healthy return?
  • Are your invoices being paid on time?

By offering the highest value at the lowest risk, you'll maximize the marketplace value of your consulting practice and position yourself as a breed apart from your competition. This Friday's seminar sponsored by the New England chapter of the Institute of Management Consultants (IMCNE) will give you the tools.
