Strategies and Tools for a Successful Consulting Career

By: Moritz Dressel

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you want to succeed in consulting, follow The Aspiring Advisor. This guide teaches you what to do (and what not to do) when you are just starting your consulting career. Because what gets you into consulting is not what will keep you there, much less what will make you succeed.

Based on lessons learnt during thousands of hours on the job, as well as the collective wisdom of hundreds of senior and junior practitioners, Moritz Dressel, author and management consultant, provides the hands-on manual every junior consultant has been waiting for.
