    What I Actually Do as a Consultant (And How It Helps Businesses) EP. 152

    What exactly do you sell when you call yourself a consultant? Many professionals leave corporate life thinking their job title is their product. It is not. The reality is that organisations bring on external help to see what they cannot see, validate what they already suspect, or simply transfer the risk. In this episode, I strip away the vague corporate definitions and give you the exact framework I use to shape client conversations before a proposal is ever written.
