Last year I commenced a six-month, seven-days-a-month, contract for a charitable organisation with its headquarters in Germany. That's the background. And the basis of this post. Seven days a month was never going to make me a millionaire. And money does not come into this. So we'll move past that. Working seven days a month (mainly from home) would be a challenge. The main consideration being:
That has proved to be harder than I'd thought. I am a hands on communicator. Trying to find the balance between advising and 'doing' has been so hard. I need to own the communications - I've discovered that I'm not happy to just throw them a strategy, stand back and advise. I might have been ok with that if they hadn't ignored pretty much every bit of my advice - or that's the way it seems to me. And that's the crux. Why pay for a consultant then completely ignore every bit of advice, keep them out of the loop and carry on regardless? (Remember this is my perception and I'm a little loony so not always to be trusted). I'm cross with them. They're wasting money. So there.
