Received Business Consultant Award
It is a common practice among independent business consultants to keep their clients and projects confidential. This both protects the client from unwanted intrusions and keeps them off the radar of other consultants. Dr. Alan Weiss, author of the bestseller, Million Dollar Consultant (almost 25 years ago and still popular in the 5th edition), had a different idea. He knew the industry well and saw the need for consultants to learn, share and grow by association. Therefore, he founded the Society for the Advancement of Consulting, SAC.
A few years ago, I joined the SAC and learned a lot from those who had blazed the trail. I found the resources, webinars, and the networking events from SAC first class. These independent consultants established high standards and performed quality work. I was delighted to be among them and learn from them. Therefore, I was especially honored when I received the award from Consulting Society, SAC.
This award was named in memory of Corrie Shanahan a much respected SAC member who passed away earlier this year. I had earlier read her book, Do It, Mean It, Be It, and looked forward to meeting her in person in April at the Million Dollar Consulting® Convention.
Unfortunately, that did not happen. Later on, I found out from Alan and others that my work reminds them of Corrie. When I got home, I read her book again, feeling her spirit and inspiration.
I am grateful that Corrie meant it, did it and lived it fully. Even though I didn’t get a chance to speak with her, I have learned through her words, and treasure that connection.
