“Pre-Zoom we used to talk about ‘airplane time’ – those precious hours new consultants spent sitting next to their Managers and Partners en route to client meetings. The book reminds me of those conversations with my mentors – part memoir, part guidebook and part manual.” Bob Frisch

“. His writing style is easy – However it is the content that matters and it is those first chapters, where he describes the experience of being a “newbie”, and shares his learnings. For me it made a real difference and helped me establish the right mindset. I’m only 6 weeks into the new consulting career but I know reading this book was helpful to settle me in.” SJAD

“For anyone at the crossroads of their consulting career, be it a newcomer or a seasoned professional looking to mentor others, Alan’s book is an invaluable guide. It teaches not just how to excel in consulting technically but how to do so with integrity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to bringing out the best in both clients and colleagues.” MM

 “The Consulting Road is different. In it, Alan Culler shares his 30+ years of experience as he navigated life as a consultant, on his own and with big firms. Although there is a lot of good content about types of consulting, how to find clients, and all of that, the real value of the book is as a memoir. Alan shares the good, the bad, the crazy, and the funny” Ron Ashkenas

“No fluff here. No hyperbole. No self-advertisements. No smart talk cliches. In that respect, we can think of this book as a kind of personal ethnography. Simply put, we need more books like this by reflective practionneers. The author leans toward process driven consulting and partnering closely with clients on projects. He is results focused. OB focused.” JM Ryan
