Every Monday, I share bite-sized advice on LinkedIn.

Each insight comes from my own experience building consultancy businesses, as well as from working closely with dozens of consulting firms (boutique, medium-sized, and practices of large, multi-national ones) and their leaders.

I hope this collection of “wisdom nuggets” – supplemented by the visuals I’ve shared throughout the year – serves consulting firms and their leaders well, whether as a source of inspiration, clarity, or a fresh perspective to help transform and grow the consulting business in 2026.
