I was peppered with this question whilst in the States. A good question, and one that I couldn't really answer. So, I decided to provide an illustrative example instead. I hope that the following "A Day in the Life" format will help you understand just what consulting is:
7:50 am - Consult alarm clock. Hit Snooze.
8:00 am - Re-consult alarm clock. Get ready for work.
8:25 am - Consult kitchen cabinet for breakfast options.
8:45 am - Implement action plan for arriving at work.
9:00 am - Research things.
11:00 am - Consultation call with team leader in Saudi Arabia.
1:00 pm - Lunch / Social consultations with co-workers.
2:00 pm - General consulting activities which can include but are not limited to: drawing on whiteboards, creating spreadsheets, the use of strategy frameworks.
5:30 pm - Create Powerpoint deck consolidating previous research and consulting activities. Add pretty colors.
7:15 pm - I make a really significant impact, and get home by 7:15.
I hope that was illuminating. For more on consulting, you may want to check out THIS INFORMATIVE VIDEO.
