OUR MISSION

To improve the financial and psychological condition of independent consultants by helping them gain more control of their professional and personal lives.

OUR WORK

We are a membership organization. Members work with the Center staff to set goals and develop a program of individual and group learning experiences that fit their individual needs. Members receive a copy of Dr. Katcher's book, "An Insider's Guide to Building a Successful Consulting Practice," (AMACOM, 2010) are entitled to attend weekly workshops, receive individual coaching, and are eligible for a variety of other benefits including a listing in our Membership Director and Speaker's Bureau.

OUR CORE PRINCIPLES

• Learning to become an independent consultant requires continuous ongoing training. We are, therefore, committed to providing weekly workshops for our members.

• Learning from peers is very important. Our workshops, therefore, provide consultants with the opportunity to interact and learn from each other.

• Learning requires doing, not just listening. All of our workshops involve experiential learning exercises as well as lectures.

• One size does not fit all. We provide customized programs for aspiring consultants with a combination of coaching and group learning experiences.

• Goal setting is critically important. We, therefore, work with consultants to set specific goals and closely monitor their progress.

• Membership in the Center is only for people who are serious about becoming consultants. We discourage people from joining who are not willing to devote the time and energy required and are not willing to make a financial investment in their future.
