Are You a Trusted Client Advisor?

Client Advisor Attribute

Description

How Would You Assess Yourself?

1. Empathy

I ask thoughtful questions and listen deeply in order to tune into others most important issues and concerns. I demonstrate "Selfless Independence" with my clients, where I balance being dedicated to serving them with complete objectivity and the willingness to say "no" at important moments. I act as a deep generalist by developing knowledge breadth around my core specialty and having the capacity to engage in broad-based business conversations that range above and beyond the project at hand. I bring big-picture thinking to my relationships. I put my services in the clients overall business context, help frame and re-frame the essential issues, and regularly share new ideas, perspectives, and points of view. I build deep professional and personal trust with my clients.

7. Agenda Setting

I act as an Agenda Setter with clients by providing thought leadership to help shape, influence, and set their strategic and operational agenda of key priorities and goals. I focus on building long-term relationships, not just winning and executing transactions
