Moving from specialist to consultant

Interpersonal Skills

It can be challenging to combine the role of “specialist” with the role of “consultant”.  A “specialist” tells and instructs, and a “consultant” works with others, building commitment to what the “specialist” is advising. This training is for all specialists who need to develop into the role of a consultant.
