Share Your Consulting Firm’s Most Important Gift

Millions of people give gifts on the day of this article’s publication.

Forget the millions of other people, though.

You know who I think is really interesting?

You.

The rest of this article is short; however, you can only read it if you commit to take action–an action that will require under 1 minute of your time.

Do you promise?

If so, click on the + sign to read the rest of the article.

And remember, you promised! (If you don’t want to act, no worries. enjoy your day and come back for next week’s article.)

Cool, you decided to jump in. The rest is easy.

You’re important. Your consulting firm is important.

The value you create for your team, your clients and the world around you is truly a gift.

And I’d like the opportunity for myself and other readers to hear more about your gift. We want to thank you!

So, rather than an article, today I have a simple question for you:

What gifts (i.e., what big, valuable benefits) do you and your consulting firm create?

You have total permission to brag. In fact, I encourage you to type bold, lofty claims.

You promised to take action when you clicked the + sign, and here’s how to fulfill your commitment:

Let me and other readers know your gifts by posting them in the comments below.

    I communicate to the managers of the people I work with the importance of their contributions to ensure that they get credit for their support of my projects.

    Many nonprofit leaders feel the pressure to produce content 24/7 in today’s media saturated world. They feel overwhelmed by marketing and cultivating audiences so that they can attract donors, volunteers, and supporters.

    We create raving fans for the cause-driven nonprofit orgs we work with by clarifying their message.

    We teach them how to establish their Authority, demonstrate Relevance, and build Trust through strategic content with purpose.

    We do this through a framework called the A.R.T. Of Engagement that simplifies how to engage the perfect audience.

      In supporting non-profits, your gift uplifts other gift givers, Kenny. You’re creating a multiplier effect of giving!

      Nice! Nonprofits getting the messaging right is so important. As is establishing their authority (it does not come naturally to many nonprofiteers).

    We create value where before us, there was none. It may be a micro level value… but not always!

      Wow, Martin, I’m inspired by your recognition of “micro value.” Showing others that not every accomplishment must be grand is in itself is a gift.

    I help companies understand who their customers are and what they care about so that my clients can deliver products and services customers desire.

      Creating product-market fit builds value for both sides of the equation, which means everyone in the ecosystems you touch benefits from your attention. I’m glad you told more of us about it, Martha.

    I am inspired and in awe of my client partner skill in balancing pushing hard while being one of the most kind, empathetic and understanding people managers I’ve ever worked with. Her leadership has led to surpassing targets, but never at the expense of the team, culture or values. She is a star and I reflect this back to her frequently and when I see it.

      Clearly you have a passion and a knack for lifting up others, Colette. Your partner is fortunate to have you by her side, and the rest of us can be inspired by your selfless support of her. Thank you so much for sharing.
