Consulting and Contracting

Class last night focused on Block’s chapters on contracting. BTW, Peter Block’s Flawless Consulting is one of our texts and I really like it. Very pragmatic – humorous at time. On a side note, I bought it from Audible.com (one of my favorite websites; I’ll have to write a post about it one day-let me know if you check it out and want to subscribe so I can recommend you and get a free audio book) but to my chagrin, it’s an abridged version but it’s still fun to listen to in the car and reinforces what we’re doing in class.

I ran my new project idea by Dr. Carter and she’s ok with it. I’m working alone which is really too bad but everyone else who wanted to work with a partner was already paired up. Doing the project with the Sheriff’s Office will be a whole lot more convenient for me and will be a real help to them so I’m quite excited about it.

Oh — and big news! I’ve officially been accepted into the doctoral program! I have to take a prerequisite class this spring and technically I’ll start in the fall. Much more on that in the weeks to come.
