“What would an ‘Excellent CRM Consulting Academy’ teach?” 🤔
This question led me to build and design a comprehensive leadership course for ‘Consulting and Project Delivery Excellence’
👆🏻That’s my actual tagline 😁
And so, in Jan 2024 – I decided to pilot a weekly coaching programme (which ran for 18 months) where we would deep dive into what makes an excellent consultant:
🍩Emotional Intelligence – personal mastery, social intelligence and the art of persuasion 💞
🍩Advanced communication skills – active listening & questioning and having difficult conversations 👂🏻
🍩Design thinking and critical thinking in project delivery
🍩Human Psychology – power & politics of conflict and stakeholder management 🤺
🍩Principles of consulting, discovery and project management
Here’s Jared Reni, PMP from Plutus Nonprofit Solutions, LLC talking about his experience.
We delved deeply into all the above topics, including using AI for the discovery process and consulting.
However, there was something missing. 🤨
The technical confidence to back it all up.
You can master every stakeholder conversation, handle the most difficult personalities, and lead teams through chaos. But when a client challenges your technical recommendation in front of everyone? That’s where even the best soft skills hit a wall.
That’s why I’m partnering with Piyusha Pilania to evolve Zenhao Academy.
She’s the Slack community champion and a Marketing Cloud guru, as well as an amazing speaker and a deeply generous human being with a big big heart ❤️ (which is why I am so excited to be working with her!!)
Starting 1st October, we’re combining leadership mastery with technical expertise – because the most successful professionals need both.
