The Odyssey Arrow helped me design and connect my consulting business to who I am,
while helping me master the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. I am delighted to see that
the Odyssey teachings are now in a book so that others can learn from this approach and
apply it in building their businesses.
—Dr. Jean Ann Larson, Founder and Managing Partner of Jean Ann Larson & Associates
I travelled to Dublin, Ireland in 2006 to learn about the business of consulting from two of
the best: John and Imelda Butler. What I learned has made all the difference in how I serve
our clients and how I am rewarded. Now Imelda has captured this material in a book. It is
a gold mine of wisdom, direction, and inspiration. Every member of our team will have this
on their desk and we will return to it over and over again.
—Ron Price, Price Associates & TTI Success Insights China
This book is more than a “how-to” guide. It masterfully and deliberately describes, in
exacting detail, the four levels of consulting and the continuum of growth necessary to
transform your consulting mindset and deliver insightful knowledge that your clients
expect from you.
—Brent Patmos CPHDA, Founder and President, Perpetual Development Inc.
... a must-read for any consultant. Odyssey is the roadmap to consulting success that
