Kevin

If you were to look inside my trusty backpack, you would find the standard consulting tools — laptop, earbuds, number 2 pencil,  pen, yellow highlighter, energy bar, plus Kevin, my sock puppet. Yes! Sock puppet. 

When I need objective guidance, I turn to Kevin from my pack. After all the years we’ve worked together, he knows and understands me. Kevin is not just a friend, my alter ego, or my higher and wiser self. When I need a perspective adjustment and direction, I reach for Kevin. He’s available 24/7, and there’s no damn consulting fee.

It’s challenging to keep my selfish, stubborn ego in check, but Kevin is persistent. We've had our share of disagreements, but luckily, we’ve never come to blows. He’s persuasive and can cut through my loud arguments to show me a better way. 

Throughout my long and varied career, I’ve studied the wise advice of historical scholars, theorists, and current advice givers. To some, I nod in agreement, but it’s Kevin’s counsel I'm most likely to follow. Thank you, Kevin.

Let’s Talk! If you would like to enlist the help of your own sock puppet.
