      1st Experienced Example

      "When I was an independent consultant, I would work with clients anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. I developed a questionnaire that contained discovery questions surrounding how the c-suite viewed various relationships, how they reward their employees, how they approach disciplinary action, and more. I would spend time immersed in their environment and then create a brief report based on the data and my direct exposure."

      2nd Experienced Example

      "I begin with a checklist, the same one for each client, no matter their industry. This checklist gives me a baseline of what I am looking for within an organization. I ask questions of the employees, and leaders, related to values, relationships, corrective action, development opportunities, and more. Also, I must immerse myself in the culture, so if I will be working with a client for a few months, I will spend a few days inside their office, learning their operations first-hand."
