Upcoming Events
Consultants want to be memorable.
And yet so many of us have a hard time saying clearly what we do, and we end up with “I do strategyoperationsmarketingduediligence for pharmafinancialservicestechandcpg.” It sounds like mush and is forgotten before we even finish speaking.
The cure is a carefully honed fishing line.
