In this episode, we have Andy talk about the two paths people take to consulting. He expounds on the traditional and non-traditional ways people get into consulting and emphasizes that both belong and need each other in the team. He also encourages those that start out through the non-traditional path to not be afraid to step out and continue in their consulting journey. So, click that play and listen in now!

 

Quotes:

 

“Somebody Who's Done It Already Has An Advantage Over Somebody Who Hasn't, Especially Somebody Who Maybe Only Has Learned It Through A Book Versus Somebody Who Actually Lived It Out.”

“I've Seen Throughout The Course Of My Consulting World That People Who Often Take A Very Traditional Path, Where It's Very Planned Out, Can Sometimes Look At People Who Take A Non-Traditional Path As Being Less Worthy Of Being There. And I Want To Make It Very Clear That You Both Belong There, You Just Took Two Different Paths There.”
