4. Creative Thinking
In industries such as art, writing,
graphic design, and gastronomy,
creativity is a key concern. Other
sectors may not appear to
prioritise creative thought, but the
concept encompasses more than
only the creation of art. People
that think creatively come up with
concepts that go beyond the
usual and commonly recognised
ways of addressing the industry's
operations. It encourages
brainstorming and listening to
different people's ideas.

5. Thinking conceptually
and practically
Conceptual thinking implies that you are creative and
visionary. You may have a keen sense of intuition or
the ability to elicit thoughts from those who struggle
to put abstract notions into words. In a group
brainstorming session, you may ask provocative
questions to encourage others to think conceptually
and construct inspirational touchstones for the
organisation to believe in.
Once you've created your vision, you'll be able to use
your practical-thinking talents to assist others in
turning their vision into actionable items and
deliverables. You could be able to assist in the
development of a specific strategy that narrows a
company's emphasis. You can assist them in breaking
down projects into their components and assigning
assignments based on broad concepts that have been
tailored to your client's needs.

6. Problem-solving
When permanent staff want more guidance
or expertise, you may be called in to consult.
Problem-solving may be a big part of your job,
especially if you don't have a lot of
information about the challenges you'll be
dealing with ahead of time. Depending on the
type of consultant you are, you may be in
charge of resolving employee conflicts,
assisting in the preparation of a business
plan for a self-employed person, assessing a
company's bookkeeping methods, or offering
training in a range of subjects.
One of the most significant abilities you can
have is the ability to listen intently to the
concerns that employees raise to you and
respond swiftly and thoughtfully to assist
provide solutions.

7. Communicating clearly and
empathetically
Once you've come up with some solutions to a
company's problems, the recipients should value
your ability to express those solutions simply,
succinctly, and empathically. You demonstrate
empathy by exhibiting a willingness to hear how a
problem affects employees on a personal level,
rather than just the financial or production bottom
line.
If your consultation is focused on enhancing
restaurant efficiency, for example, the cooks, waiters,
hostesses, and kitchen employees will be the ones to
put your recommendations into action. They are
more likely to respond positively and embrace the
work they should do if you can demonstrate warmth
and empathy while clearly describing the changes
they must make.
