Power Up Your Green Consulting

​

Group Coaching & Mentoring Program for developing and furthering your consulting expertise

​​

• Are you looking to stand out in the marketplace as a trusted advisor to current and future clients?​​

​

Green Consulting Success (GCS) is a program for consultants who are seeking to enhance their consulting skills and expertise.

​

Consulting excellence is about more than solving the client's problem -- it's about skillfully guiding clients through the specific stages in the consulting process while also being mindful of what's needed to cultivate a respectful, ethical, and effective ongoing client relationship.

​

GCS Coaching & Mentoring sessions, held via Zoom, focus on the steps, strategies, and practices that support you in delivering client excellence as a consultant.

​

These skills are a component of Waterford’s Green Consulting Success Map™, which provides the foundation for the GSC program.

​

Sessions also emphasize “green” trends and insights that are valuable for identifying possible client needs and future opportunities.

​

The program includes two personalized Sales Skills Assessments and a 60-minute Assessment Review and Coaching session.  

​

• The DISC Sales Assessment provides insights on your personality strengths and how to effectively communicate with prospective clients who may be similar, somewhat different, or very different than you.

​​

• The EQ FIT Sales Assessment identifies your distinctive emotional intelligence strengths and guides you in developing the personal consulting skills that can foster sales success.

​

This program is for you if you’re seeking to:

​

1. Learn and apply science-based consulting strategies and tools as a guide for enhancing your effectiveness as a consultant

​

2. Skillfully guide clients through challenging topics and issues in support of your role as a trusted advisor

​

3. Identify and hone the behaviors and practices that contribute to consulting success

​

4.  Understand and manage the mindset and expectations of clients – including those who are more difficult to reach or work with and gain tips for working with them effectively

​

5. Expand your knowledge of Green market trends and the corresponding or emerging needs that clients have

​

6. Grow and expand your network of fellow Green consulting professionals
