Here are five sure signs you’ve worked too long as a consultant:
- You can’t stop using words that don’t exist.
- You feel a constant urge to give advice on subjects you know absolutely nothing about.
- You use so much jargon in bed that your other half thinks you are speaking a foreign language.
- You firmly believe that an article in Wikipedia is all it takes to make you an expert.
- You think Darwin would have made a better job of selling evolution if he had put his ideas into a 2 by 2 matrix.
Of course, none of the above applies to me…

We run face-to-face courses at the Institute of Directors, London, UK and in-house or online.
