Consulting

I have been consulting since 1989, serving many clients over the years. I like to make sure my clients are well-prepared to achieve what they've set out to do. Often this means that I will observe what they do and how they work to make recommendations that will improve their efficiency and enjoyment of their tasks. Sometimes clients will tell me clearly what they want.

While I've known others who perversely enjoy their role as a technological priest, I like always to educate my clients about their tools or the nature of the solution. A clear understanding of a tool's capabilities enables a user to accomplish more and take greater pleasure in his work.

Although I've been told there's good money in bolstering sagging hopes and cracking the whip, I do not do motivational consulting. I expect to work with motivated people who have clear goals. Life's too precious to pretend to wonder why it's worth living or to waste it with those who do.
