I am fortun ate to be currently working with one of the three most influential mento rs in my career. \;\nHowever\, many of the hundreds of consultants an d former professional services managers I have spoken with have identifi ed a lack of available training to manage a professional services organi zation. I believe that the only way to demonstrate mastery of a skill is to teach someone else.
