Most people do not actually understand what consulting is all about. While some towed the path of consulting because of its financial gain, some others just found themselves consulting. This book takes one through every aspect one needs to know about consulting, required etiquettes in the consulting world and managing relationships as a consultant in order to have a fulfilled career in consulting.

In the book The MECE Muse by Christine Lindor, Christine who has been a consultant for years and has had a high level of experience in the field seeks to give lifetime guides and tips to becoming a great consultant in the consulting field ranging from morals, etiquette, relationship management, the 2+1rule in consulting, brand building, managing optics and becoming a trusted advisor. Notably, her chit-chat cum interview with top personalities in the consulting field; both retired and active people like Jennifer Maddox and Paige Arnof revealed their secrets as to what got them to where they were, their best and worst experiences as consultants and tips on balancing work life and family life. She also pointed out certain unwritten rules consultants ought to know and what people who had to leave the field due to dissatisfaction ought to have done so as to enjoy working as consultants. She also noted that one needs a supporting and inclusive environment to work effectively as a consultant. She outlined how working together as a team irrespective of differences in diversity makes consulting interesting. Christine also stressed on the need to always remember that the spotlight in consulting should be about the employees and the clients and not one's self.

Christine's book regardless of its bulkiness is quite interesting because she employed story telling of her experience in each chapter. The book seemed tiresome while reading at first, but, as i read the book i actually found it fascinating. Her story telling did more of the explanations to any question a newbie in consulting would want to ask.

I loved the fact that each consultant that was being interviewed had intriguing stories involving their best and worst experience and their propellation to taking up the career prospect in consulting. The fact that each chapter has interesting quotes and blurbs to act as reminders and also graphic illustrations to give a better overview of the author's message is applaudable and would make me want to consider consulting.

The MECE Muse is an invaluable asset that needs harnessing should one decide to go into consulting and be successful because this book is an asset people would want to pay for to read, learn and inculcate its value. There is actually nothing to not love about this book and that earns it a 4 out of 4 stars.

I would recommend this book for everyone because there are some things to learn personally when dealing with people but most especially for those who want and already are in the field of consulting. I found absolutely no error in this book
