I’ve been doing tech consulting for about 15 years. At the senior levels, 30% of the job is like being a corporate therapist. Just listening to a client during a discovery phase go on and on and on and then saying it back to them causes all kinds of things to fall into place. It’s like helping someone do a puzzle, once you get them started and no longer overwhelmed by the scope of the problem off they go.
