That I want a letter of reco!? As simple. You’ll have to craft it by yourself though. And I don’t think I’m todays time many organizations expect you to return. They hope for it but no one will bet their soul on it! Don’t stress / just put in the request

If you can pitch is as self development that’s a decent catch all. However, if you can even a little swing it to align with their business needs or to help you stand out with the business in another department that’s always best. Employers tend to be more forgiving and on your side when their interest is aligned with yours.

People want to help, and up&out culture is the norm. What consultant doesn’t get MBA these days

Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits for our client projects! Any tips?
