TFL SHORTS: Consultant Client Relationships

What happens when a consultant does too good a job? In this Fault Line Short, Kim Scribner sits down with Aniela Larson to unpack the tricky dynamic between consultants and the sponsors who hire them — and why doing less might actually be the more valuable service.

Drawing on the neuroscience of change, Aniela explains why friction is essential to real behavior change, and how "expert mode" can quietly rob clients of the ownership they need to sustain results. Kim and Aniela dig into the IKEA effect (why we value what we build with our own hands more than what's handed to us), the "watch one, do one, teach one" model borrowed from medical training, and the subtle language cues — like "you" instead of "we" — that signal an engagement is headed for trouble.

Whether you're a consultant navigating scope creep, a leader trying to get the most out of an outside partner, or just curious how lasting change actually sticks, this conversation offers a candid look at what it really takes to hand ownership back to the people who need it.
