Author(s): Vaneeta Kaur Grover*

Keywords: Consultant ; Excellent ; Statistical ; Technical Skills ; Soft skills
Abstract:

As statistical consultants, we all aspire to be excellent at what we do and to have our professional opinions and contributions valued by our clients, colleagues, and collaborators. But what makes one an excellent consultant? There is a fine line between being a good consultant and an excellent consultant. In this session, we will discuss some of the characteristics that define the difference and how you can incorporate these characteristics into your practice to achieve excellence. Two success factors beyond technical capabilities are leadership and communication skills. Bring your experiences and examples of working with/as excellent statistical consultants for discussion.
