Episode 111: The Key Skills Every Consultant Needs To Know, With Industry Trainer Keith Burgess

In the latest episode of Climb into Consulting, Nick is joined by Keith Burgess, Head of Management Consulting Development Curriculum at IBM consulting EMEA. Having spent the best part of two decades as a consultant himself, Keith moved into training and over the last 10 years has helped shape and deliver the full gamut of training for IBM - from basic consulting skills through to Partner level development. As someone who’s played a leading role in shaping the training for 1,000s of consultants across the globe, both internally at IBM and externally with the Chartered Management Consulting award, it’s fair to say Keith knows what it is that people like you need to focus on if they want to reach the top. In this conversation, Nick and Keith discuss a whole range of topics that will help you in your journey to Partner and beyond, including: - The important skills that consultants need to learn to set themselves on the path to success. - How to make the leap to Partner and what holds people back from getting there. - Why the industry has developed the The Chartered Management Consultant Award and how it could help you advance your career. - And why you need to be thinking about work-life balance if you want a long and successful career in consulting. Whether you’ve just started in consulting, or looking to make the step up to Partner, this episode offers tons of advice and insights to help you on your way. We hope you enjoy the show!
