It goes like this… My delightful and charming niece and nephew needed new wellies. I wanted to buy them a present. And there was a sale at the very high end Hunter Boots. Hurrah!

The problem with consulting

Join the discussion on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_the-devils-adviser-activity-7021396052595384321-JuHd Lots of people criticise consultants, and so do I. I even created and led ‘The Campaign Against Consultancy’. There can be a premium on slickness over authenticity, telling you what you want and giving you what you ask for — answers, a very clever…

What haunts your fever dreams?

People often say I should do some personal LinkedIn posts — ‘let them see the real you’. Well, this might go beyond that — I’m asking what weirdness comes out of you when you’re a little bit out of your mind?

Do you have question for me?

I have a question for you! How, if at all, should I continue with my writing? During the lockdown, I started #linkedinhacking — exploring how to work with the algorithm to share things and get engagement on LinkedIn. I’ve been posting at least weekly ever since, sharing tools, theories, ideas and perspectives. It’s been a lot of fun and having to write, and getting feedback, have improved my writing skills.

Do you have question for me?

I have a question for you!
How, if at all, should I continue with my writing?

During the lockdown, I started #linkedinhacking — exploring how to work with the algorithm to share things and get engagement on LinkedIn.

I’ve been posting at least weekly ever since, sharing tools, theories, ideas and perspectives.
It’s been a lot of fun and having to write, and getting feedback, have improved my writing skills.

This winter, though — with the doggle needing a looong walk in the mornings and that walk starting later and later as the winter drew in — it has sometimes felt like hard work.

So, I’m wondering — what would you like to ask me to respond to? How, if at all, would you like me to continue?

Naming the thing is a superpower — when did you last use it?

The power of a declarative statement is often missed. In business, management, consulting, and faciltation (and I could go on), the person who can identify what is actually happening can help to move the situation forward tremendously. Like ‘the nudist colony in which it is the glances which are veiled’ (ever been in a changing room and noted how…

Where do you learn best with others?

This week I spoke at my first face-to-face conference since the start of COVID — StretchCon in Budapest. And what a conference it was!
