One of my first consulting tasks was to cover for someone who was going on vacation for a week, and I was to assist the client with data extractions and reporting. I was promised it would be an easy week.

Within a few days, I was called to the director’s office and asked to develop a program to extract all open job requisitions and publish them to the intranet, as well as those that remain unfilled, to the internet corporate website.

This occurred in late 1998. The enterprise application did not have any web features. The browser of choice was Netscape Navigator. The HTML standard was still in its infancy. I stood there for a few minutes, observing their facial expressions, and asked, “What’s the catch?” The Director grinned and added, “Your instincts are good. This is set to go online on Monday. Five days from now.” The Vice President of Human Resources jumped in, saying, “Money is no object. Use anything you need to install and set up.”

To say I panicked is an understatement. I needed to think outside the box and come up with a scalable and dependable solution. I sat at my desk and began leaning into my strengths, querying the database to become acquainted with the information. Then I began researching how I might convert the data into HTML websites.

I encountered too many barriers to list here. Limitations to the programming environment. Content development and administration were virtually non-existent. I worked almost nonstop till late Friday night and had figured out the solution.

The customer was so pleased and amazed that they decided to keep/extend me even after the individual returned from vacation. For more than 7 years. They put me on every other project they had, regardless of experience, because of my ability to never give up and solve problems swiftly with a scalable solution.

What are the takeaways from this real-life experience story?

• Be prepared to face unexpected difficulties and opportunities. I was asked to accomplish something that was not part of my original job, but I was prepared, accepted the challenge, and presented a solution quickly.
• Use your imagination and resourcefulness to solve challenges. Despite many technological limits and challenges, I was able to translate the data into websites and match the client’s needs.
• Never give up and keep learning. I worked around the clock and didn’t allow the pressure or intricacy of the challenge to deter me. I also benefited from the experience, enhancing my abilities and expertise.
• Develop trust and rapport with your customer. My efforts and results pleased the customer with my work and attitude, and I was rewarded with further contracts and extensions. I also built a long-term relationship with the client via mutual respect and satisfaction.

Why am I repurposing the same image from my last post?…

Mainly to make a point that everything is perspective. It’s all about how one looks at things, with an open mind and history/background.

You see, I am not sure why the person in this picture was doing that and I cannot ask them.

We should always keep an open mind and not quickly judge and react without trying to see things from various perspectives to try to come to an understanding. Even if things seem like they are going against our beliefs and knowledge.

Put yourself in place of the other person.

Think about different scenarios that happened to get to that point.

Prior experiences and what options did they have to choose from to get through things.

Others involved that interfered, guided/influenced.

They have enough autonomy to make those choices or were they restricted by others, financially, experience or self-sabotage.

They believe in Karma and how do they process to get through it depends on if that belief is superficial and learned behavior or willing to do the work to understand and get through it.

They have a history of relying on others to make or influence their decision.

They do not want to be accountable.

They lack the skill and experience to dissect and work through it and need help.

They fear failure or facing challenges or like to take shortcuts.

They were incorrectly sold a bunch of goods that really did not solve the core problem.

Maybe they are delaying it because they are dealing with another challenge.

They are so used to these challenges that this is their normal and do not know any better.

They struggle through it and blame others.

Throw money at it and take shortcuts without truly figuring it out and solving it long term.

They have seen and have been through something similar before and understand and know the process and take appropriate actions.

Someone once asked me: “Why do you love music so much?”

I replied: “Music is the only thing that stays with me, heals me and helps me look at things differently.”

Art, such as paintings and sculptures decorate space, Music decorates time.

The Art of Helping: This is based on decades of experience from my many professions. It must be authentic and pure. But what exactly does it represent or stand for?!

The Art of Listening: Listen actively and emphatically. Listen to understand, with an open mind in order to learn and grow without any judgement.

The Art of Reading: Read text, tone, body language, to understand and learn, with an open mind not just to confirm biases or expectations.

The Art of Communicating: Speak with pure intentions to make sure you are understood, not just to sound smart and better than others. Ensure you are connecting with others.

The Art of Hybrid Consulting: The right mix of technical, functional, business, content, and marketing knowledge and talent to see your projects through from start to end.

The Art of Helping: The combination of the items mentioned before, enables us to provide support and lift others. It’s our passion, our purpose. it’s Ingrained in our DNA.

Consulting is like cooking, anyone can do it, but few can make it mutually healthy and delicious.

Those of you who have tasted the hummus I make and those who have worked with me on projects know what I mean.

Hi. Quickly before Hrair comes back!

I’m number 27… oh! no! 26! And I will be popping in and out anytime I can within Hrair’s posts so see you soon.  In the meantime, here’s a quick short story:

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.
