6 PROFESSIONAL
• Consultants should hold themselves to the highest standards of ethics,
confidentiality, and integrity. By virtue of your role, you will likely see and hear a lot,
and it’s imperative for your clients to trust you.
• Also, just because something is within the letter of the law doesn’t make it
right… Hold yourself to standards beyond what’s expected.
• In addition, always present a professional demeanor. Don’t get your feathers
ruffled. Look calm even if below the water your feet are paddling like mad!
