010 The Consulting Journey with Janet Whitelaw-Jones

This week, we mix it up a bit and Helen interviews Janet!

Janet has a health background and now works mostly in
organizational development and monitoring and evaluation. She
started working in international development in 1995 and her
experience is based in the NGO and consulting space. 

In this conversation,  Helen gets in under some of Janet's
experience and delves deeper into her consulting
journey. 

We talk about curiosity and using an iterative approach with
clients; how asking questions helps to make the deliverables
useful to clients and the important skill of empathy. We reflect
on preparing well and the attention we need to pay to details and
language. And how it's vital to surround yourself with a
supportive network.
