The Resource Portal for
Mentoring Consultants & Trainers

IMPORTANT NOTE - This web page is NOT the only source of information for mentoring consultants and trainers.

There are also many resources which were designed specifically for mentoring consultants & trainers, or about which you need to know, available throughout this entire web site. Be especially sure to check the Process Portal and the Researcher's Section in the Role Portal for the processes you must be able to lead or to which you contribute.

Finally, some of the articles placed here are meant to provide a starting point for conversations among consultants and trainers regarding issues, models and other ideas which effect our work as consultants. The authors would look forward to your feed back on these ideas and so, when given, e-mail links to authors are provided.

Since many of these were written by Barry Sweeny, President of Best Practice Resources, Inc. his e-mail is provided here.

• Have articles or consulting-related ideas or advice to share?
