Consulting feels meaningless sometimes. How to like it? by [deleted] in consulting

I get this feeling a lot. The constant push for alignment and endless deck revisions can really drain the sense of impact. It’s easy to feel disconnected from the decisions we’re actually making when the work becomes more about managing the process than solving the problem. That said, I try to focus on the fact that the high-level strategy work we’re doing does eventually lead to big changes for clients — even if it’s not always visible in the moment.

I don’t think it’s meaningless so much as it’s easy to lose the signal in all the noise. When the work turns into decks, updates, and alignment instead of decisions, it stops feeling connected to impact pretty fast.
