Mastering client
relationships doesn’t just happen — it requires the same investment
you’ve made in your industry and subject matter expertise.
BossaNova’s customized learning programs teach consultants how to be
the package deal that clients expect: informed, industry-savvy,
collaborative, personable, and most of all trustworthy.

“I wanted to thank
you and Charlie for your work and help with Trusted Advisor:
Walking the Talk. This program was truly remarkable for both
professional and personal growth and it really helped not only
me, but those around me. The session was transformative. Several
of us attended from the same organization, and we have noticed
major changes in each other since then. We’ve also set up
monthly meetings to keep each other accountable for applying
what we learned.”— Anna D., senior consultant |

was immediately able to talk more transparently with my client
about issues that I had been avoiding. I called him during the
workshop and basically had the courage to say, ‘Here's where we
are, it's not good news, but let's move on and see where we can
go from here.'” —Participant |

Your client meetings are a
great opportunity to accelerate project results, get buy-in, and
establish "eminence" with many clients at once. BossaNova Consulting
Group’s Facilitation Skills for Consultants was specifically developed
to teach consultants in client-facing roles how to both design and
deliver meetings that make a mark.
There's no doubt that consulting skills apply when facilitating groups.
But there's much more to successfully convening 5 - 150 clients than
meets the eye. The best leaders make it look easy when in reality...it's
not.
