Message Name: So true

In Reply To: that it is an important skill to come up to speed on new things. And that someone with a bright mind and an inquisitive nature can do that no problem. I just often think that consultants don't really do this well enough. And that they often try to act like they know what is going on without really doing so. And that they lack the real inquisitiveness (and humility) to learn about the nuts and bolts of a new business. Much easier to take the current trendy PD and hawk it.
Message: Open, quick and inquisitive mind to start with (no school and hardly any training will do the job). Global approach, wired on listening, ability to shoot key questions at the proper time and humility are some essentials to enter the trade. As the wiseman said *I think what I say but I dont say all what I think.
