Accepting and learning from failure. Over the past few years, I have taken up rock climbing and when pushing to the limit failure is almost guaranteed. Being able to accept and learn from mistakes allows for meaningful self-reflection that translates elsewhere in life besides the crag.

As consultants, we have the responsibility of being objective advisors to our clients but must do so in a way and manner that resonates with their culture, leadership, and stakeholders. When we are perfectly in tune with our clients, the opportunities for progress and optimization seem endless. However, this isn’t always the case. There will be times when you and your client are talking past one another and operating on different wavelengths. Typically, these types of client issues trace back to a breakdown in communication and/or common understanding. It is the most successful consultants that can recognize this breakdown and quickly adjust their own emotional intelligence (EQ) and communication style to fit the context and environment they are facing. They can do this because they already know their personality traits, their strengths, their weaknesses, those of their client, and have strong EQ – in other words, they know their spirit animal and those of their client.
EQ is an individual’s ability to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and adjust to adapt to environments and achieve one’s goals. It has become a critical focus area for many organizations, to include those in the management consulting industry. As consultants aim to increase and improve their EQ and ultimately their connection with clients, it’s critical to realize that one size does not fit all. Meaning that the approach to realizing better EQ isn’t standard for every person – we’re all individuals, after all. Personality traits and position on the introversion/extroversion spectrum considerably impact emotional intelligence. Understanding how our traits affect our EQ is a first step to becoming our most effective selves.
