Consultants typically want three things from their clients: great work, respect, and timely payments. TrainSmart delivers the trifecta.In the nearly four years since I started working as a consultant with TrainSmart, I’ve had the opportunity to travel abroad, develop and facilitate workshops, learn new skills and most important, feel like I am part of a team that values my contributions.Those are not throw away words. They are sincere and heartfelt. When I started working with TrainSmart I was part of a team of external facilitators delivering training for a Fortune 50 company. I had been part of that team for nearly a decade.Yet, despite that longevity of that relationship, a vital component had always been missing :I never felt valued. Instead of feeling like a partner, I felt like a vendor.Maybe for some people that’s enough. Not me. I want to be part of a team. I want to believe that I am making valuable contributions to growing the business and succeeding at reaching the businesses’ goals.So when I started working with TrainSmart, the differences were startling. Not only did I feel respect as a professional who knows what she is doing, my opinions mattered.For me, finding TrainSmart has meant I’ve found a professional home.
