There is always a time in our life where we face certain difficulties in our life, which have severe adverse effects on our career and relationships. These difficulties make room for stress and depression in our life. To solve those problems, you need to address them by opening up to someone. However, it is not easy to work on such difficulty by opening up in front of your family, friends and colleagues. In such cases, you need a person who is well informed, objective and impartial when it comes to consultation. A consultant can help you regain the lost confidence to take important and life-changing decisions. These people provide Consultation for life problems [รับปรึกษาปัญหาชีวิต, which is the term in Thai] and are highly skilled and experienced in understanding the problems of their clients.
Skills needed to become an excellent consultant
- Good communicator: Consultation is a process of finding solutions to the problems through communication. If you are not a good communicator, you cannot gauge the problems of your clients. You should be able to make your client feel relaxed and persuade them in sharing their problems.
- Creative thinker: It is often very difficult to solve our very own problems, let alone to solve problems of a third person. But, sometimes, a third person is required to give a different view of the existing problem. One of the skills that are required to be possessed by them is they should be creative and a quick thinker.
- Stress-resilient: The person who is consulting should have to be highly stress resilient. The person consulting has a huge responsibility for solving others problems but, if the person himself is under stress, you cannot expect them to solve a third party’s problem. It is a work that involves a lot of stress and pressure as you have to listen to depressing stories of your clients.
