I keynoted recently for the Institute of Management Consulting's Confab convention in Reno. About 225 consultants gather to learn and share best practices. It's a great crowd and I was warmly received. (I'm actually a pussycat. Well, maybe a cheetah.)

As I left the hall, a woman asked me a fascinating question, one that I'm rarely asked. "How many of these people," she queried, "will actually join your Mentor Program, or attend your Consulting College?"

I had to think about that, and finally guessed that perhaps 10 (4.4%) would become mentorees, and 2 or 3 (1%) might attend the Consulting College. Then she said, "Why do you think that is when you have splendid testimonials and almost everyone here has read several of your books or heard you speak before?"
