The Real-World Consulting Playbook - Strategy, Scar & Survival | Deepto Bhattacharya | Kharidobechobooks

This is not your average consulting book — no MBA jargon, no LinkedIn-speak, and definitely no “10X hacks.”

The Real-World Consulting Playbook is a straight-talking, field-tested guide for professionals who want to break into consulting or scale their solo practice — but are tired of the fluff. It’s part career reboot, part strategic manual, and part emotional survival guide for those navigating post-corporate identity, client chaos, and the deep work of staying relevant in a changing world.

The book covers:

• The transition from full-time to freelance
• Building offers, credibility, and client trust
• Handling layoffs, burnout, and self-doubt
• Executive presence, client psychology, and power dynamics
• Designing a consulting career that scales without selling your soul

Backed by personal experience across global transformation projects, this book is grounded in scar tissue — not just strategy. It includes downloadable tools, templates, and rituals that make the reader feel less like they’re guessing, and more like they’ve got a playbook in hand.
