Work Lessons, Career & Consulting Skills

Work Like A geisha

A highly-paid, highly-skilled professional. An elegant, insiders-only lifestyle. An impressive list of clients. A well-defined code of behavior and dress. This is the world of the management consultant. It is also the world of the Japanese geisha.

Using the geisha as metaphor, I share lessons from my 20+ year career as a management consultant in a series of poignant and insightful essays.

The experienced consultant, analyst, executive or project manager will relate to these narrative slices of consulting and corporate life. Novice and aspiring consultants and managers will find indispensable jewels of wisdom to help propel their careers to the next level.
