Andrea P. Howe is a recovering IT consultant and founder of The Get Real Project. A career highlight to date: co-authoring The Trusted Advisor Fieldbook: A Comprehensive Toolkit for Leading with Trust (Wiley, 2012)—the sequel to the perennial favorite, The Trusted Advisor.
Andrea has spent more than 30 years working with clients, managing projects, and facilitating groups of all kinds and sizes. Her focus since 2006 has been teaching people in consultative roles how to get remarkable results by getting client relationships right. Her mission is simple: Kick conventional business wisdom to the curb and transform how people work together as a result.
About the Author
More years ago than I care to count, I was listening to a client’s keynote. He challenged us all to think about what we’d prioritize with only six months left to live. I knew my answer was, “Write this book.” (Fortunately, I had a little more than six months to get the job done.)
The Opposite is a critical part of my legacy as a businessperson. My goal is simple (not necessarily easy): Make the Get Real Manifesto’s unconventional wisdom more readily accessible while sharing something that’s informative, inspiring, and implementable all at once.
Why Andrea wrote The Opposite…
Because trust is personal …
When I’m not working, you might find me in the art studio ISO inspiration for another mosaic project, in the garden trying to defeat the weeds (it’s usually Weeds: 5, Me: 0), or on the dance floor looking for people who love music and rhythm as much as I do—cha cha, salsa, swing, and soul line dancing are favorites.
Andrea is a warm, witty, and wise guide to relationship building and this enjoyable read is guaranteed to help you build deeper and more productive relationships, no matter how good (or not) you already are.”
