DES MOINES, IA (05/12/2008)(readMedia)-- The profile of a successful consultant has changed drastically, affecting the way consultants market themselves, differentiate their offerings, and meet workforce-development needs for a wide range of businesses around the world.

A panel discussion titled, What No One Tells You about Becoming an Independent Consultant, will take place on June 4th at the 2008 American Society for Training and Development Conference in San Diego, CA. Barbara Stennes, CEO and Founder of Resources Unlimited, and de Bono Consulting, will participate in this panel discussing the profile of a successful consultant and offer ways to build a successful business.

This panel of independent consultants will provide an inside look at what it’s really like to be your own boss. The panel will focus on little-known facts when starting out, including what they wish someone had told them before starting out, the one obstacle they didn’t see coming and how they dealt with it, and why they’d never go back to working for someone else!

Whether you’re thinking about becoming a consultant, or are simply looking for ways to boost your business to the next level, those attending this session will leave with an understanding of the following:

1. Examining the challenges that face independent consultants and trainers.
2. Evaluating the ups and downs of an independent consultant’s career, from beginner to veteran.
3. Assessing whether becoming an independent consultant is right for you.

Barbara Stennes founded Resources Unlimited and de Bono Consulting, which are leading companies in the field of training and development. Stennes says, "As a consultant and trainer, by nature I’m passionate about helping people learn. Our goal for this panel is to offer concrete solutions participants can put into action right away."
