February Program: Consulting Skills for Trainers (Internal and External)
Charlotte Mason, President of Advantage Resource Group

Learning and performance professionals must exhibit strong consulting skills in order to achieve success as business partners to the organizations they service.
Consulting skills can be defined as “understanding the results that stakeholders desire from a process and providing insight into how efficiently those results can be achieved.”
(ASTD Press, 1999).
This presentation will cover an ASTD process model for managing consulting projects, building a relationship with clients, building creditability, overcoming resistance and obtaining buy-in for the project.
Charlotte attended the ASTD Consulting Skills for Trainers Certificate Program and with permission from ASTD will be sharing materials and information from the certificate program.
