Every consultant promises results. Most arrive with the answer before they've understood the problem. I start with diagnosis. Always. Before I write a single recommendation, I interview the people who will live with the strategy — from the C-suite to the people on the floor. I listen for what's not being said. I look for the gap between what leadership thinks is happening and what employees are actually experiencing. That's where the real work is. At RMI, what looked like a scattered L&D function was actually a capability alignment problem driven by rapid growth. The solution wasn't more training. It was a connected strategy. If you're bringing in an L&D consultant, the first question to ask is: how long will they spend listening before they start talking? DM me if your organization needs a real diagnostic. I can take 3 engagements per quarter. It's deep work.
