Testimonials
This book was the most wonderful gift at exactly the right time in my career – the point at which I was moving out of the public sector and contemplating consultancy work, but not knowing where to start. I found the step-by-step approach and guidance invaluable. I finished reading with a strong feeling of being supported to take the next step. You can’t ask for more than that.

ConsultantI love this book. It’s insightful and generous, sharing years of hard-won experience and distilling it into sensible advice and practical tips. It’s well written and clearly structured, so you can go straight to the information you need. But best of all it’s encouraging – written with warmth and real wisdom – demystifying the work that consultants do and reminding us of its value. An essential handbook for those starting out and a useful companion for those who’ve been in the business for years.

“Jacq Hackett has produced a comprehensive guide for would-be consultants from the perspective of an experienced consultant to the public sector – a domain with its own challenges and rewards.
In these times of career uncertainty, especially for experienced professionals, consulting can seem a tempting alternative path. Rather than going in blind, anyone thinking of making such a move would do well to read this book. As well as covering the nuts and bolts, Hackett has succeeded in distilling the essence of consulting, demystifying the process, outlining the pitfalls, and lauding the satisfactions.
Consult is the ideal guide and companion for getting the edge in a growing and competitive field.”
