How do I stay adaptable in consulting? (I get asked this question a lot) Buuuut... How about we swap 'adaptable' for 'playful'? Here are my 7 steps to consulting 'playfulness': 1. Pause and observe Like a kid in a sandbox, take time to understand the whole playground 2. Listen actively Your clients are your playmates - tune into their needs 3. Adjust your approach Switch games when the current one isn't working 4. Yes, and... Build on ideas like adding blocks to a tower 5. Flow with change Dance with uncertainty like it's your favorite song 6. Unleash creativity Turn problems into opportunities for fun 7. Learn from mistakes Every 'oops' is a chance to grow Yep, the first letters in the list spell out 'PLAYFUL' 😎 Adaptable → playful → breakthrough results!
