The Conscious Consultant: Mastering Change from the Inside Out

In order to succeed as a change agent and consultant we must clarify our own purpose, motivation, and relationship with our careers. The Conscious Consultant--a book in The Practicing Organization Development Series--offers a much-needed road map and powerful tool that consultants can use to perform a personal assessment of foundational principles in order to achieve greater integrity and alignment with personal values and career. The book's Active Change Model creates an understanding of what it takes to become an effective consultant who practices wisdom by making conscious choices in a thoughtful and wholehearted manner, choices that will positively influence the work that is done with all clients.

"At last! A much-needed book primarily and effectively focused on the consultant's continuing quest for personal awareness--both looking deeply for one's true inner self and outward for that self in relation to clients. I do strongly agree with the author's basic thesis that we cannot expect our clients to embrace change unless we personally embrace it ourselves."
