Rethinking Work: The Consultant's Compass with Dr. Mary Cianni

Join NYU SPS Human Capital Management Department Chair Dr. Anna Tavis as she welcomes HCM's own Clinical Assistant Professor Dr. Mary Cianni, to discuss Mary's new book The Consultant's Compass: Navigating Success with Courage, Curiosity, and Compassion!
Have you ever wondered about the enigmatic world of consultancy and whether it might be the right fit for you? If the title 'consultant' has ever piqued your curiosity, then Dr. Mary's work is your passport into that realm. Drawing from firsthand experience, the author takes us on a journey from initial skepticism to eventual admiration for consultants. With a memorable encounter as the pivot, she recalls an old colleague's dismissive description of consultants: "They ask you for your watch and then tell you the time." Yet, her personal experience was vastly different. She met a consultant who was insightful, engaged, and who connected the dots in a way that seemed effortlessly brilliant.
The world of consultancy is diverse, ranging from deep subject matter experts like HR technology aficionados, data aficionados with access to vast amounts of invaluable information, embedded consultants offering support during high-demand periods, to seasoned strategic advisors with tales of battles won alongside their clients.
