In a nutshell, I’m the real deal. I’m not between jobs and I didn’t just hang out my shingle. Business consulting has been my job for almost 20 years. I have earned both the designation of Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and Executive Associate of the Institute for Independent Business (AinstIB).

Earning these professional designations required hard work, training and examination, proof of competence and recognition by my peers. You can have confidence in the codes of professional conduct to which I am bound by both organizations. I encourage you to read more about the CMC and AinstIB designations in the links which follow.

Certified Management Consultant

The CMC designation demonstrates a consultants' commitment to the best practices in management consulting. In today's business climate, clients seek a trusted advisor with proven skills. The Essentials of Management Consulting is designed to help management consultants learn to address all six functional areas of their clients' organizations, as well as to help prepare them for the Comprehensive Exam leading to the CMC designation.

Associate of the Institute for Independent Business

Any senior executive who considers that he or she is suitable for accreditation must pass through the Institute's selection process, and then undertake the Consultancy Business Development Program. This provides a framework for developing skills suited specifically for the SME sector. The exclusive network of Executive Associates which is the largest in the world, allows them to work together on assignments to ensure that supported businesses receive the highest quality service.
