I’ve just finished reading “Keys to a Successful Consulting Career: True Stories from the Field” by Dr. Peter Homenuck and I enjoyed every page. Peter presents great practical advice in an easy to read format. He gives real world examples of best consulting practice and shows how to resolve challenges. I kept saying to myself, yup, been there.
Thanks Peter!

As someone who has been a consultant and has hired many consultants during 40 plus years working in both the public and private sectors, I find Keys To A Successful Consulting Career to be a much-needed guide and reference piece.
It is a valuable resource not only for those who are launching a career in consulting – but also for practitioners who would like to learn from a seasoned consultant with many years of varied experience, including relatively small-scale projects, major infrastructure projects, Headings and relations with First Nations.
In today’s complex and fast-shifting world of economic priorities, projecting requirements and professional directions, advice is needed for dealing with myriad consultancy challenges and opportunities. This book provides a wealth of experiential insights into the practical, human and real-world aspects of consulting. A key strength is that is does so in a straightforward, entertaining and very communicative style.

It was a delight. It reads well and the lessons are understandable and should enable the reader to take action toward engaging in some serious consulting.
Your story is interesting and compelling on multiple levels. Basically, from my perspective, your career-long methods have resulted in a consulting approach that transcends and has encompassed diverse and multiple substantive themes and content. In my experience, this is not common.
You have created and perfected a kind of “general consulting practitioner” profile.
You demonstrated that the Homenuck model can be practiced on small simple consultative solutions, put the principles underlying your method and experience also can be applied to cases that are large, complex, wide ranging – and even highly interdependent and subtle. Similar to a primary-care physician, the practice of the Homenuck model can accommodate referrals and additive change agents for needed specialization and more hands-on deck to accommodate greater effort and team-building for bigger cases.
Lastly, your treatment of the particularly unique and sensitive behavior that can be effective in working with indigenous peoples and first nations is precious. The criticality and fundamental role of respect and the centrality of culture is well demonstrated in the cases that you cite. Your career-long experience and commitment in working with and in such relationships clearly is fundamental. Such essential exposures and knowledge acquisitions will be major challenges for other aspirants who seek to engage in such consultation practices.
