Is AI coming for your consulting gig or is it the sharp new tool that could actually give you an edge? Today, Michael chats with Michel Fortin, Head of Growth at Consulting Success, and they get real about all this AI buzz. Michel has seen plenty, working with big-league companies on their tech, seven-, eight-figure outfits. He believes the whole "AI will replace consultants" thing is probably overblown, but - and it's a big but - consultants just sticking their heads in the sand about AI might be in for a rude awakening sooner than they think.

Michel and Michael really break down this idea. It's not about AI wiping out consulting altogether, it's more about AI sidelining the consultants who don't get with the program. They talk about that human touch - the creative leaps, understanding people’s messy problems. AI isn't there yet, not even close, but here’s the kicker: thinking AI is just some passing trend is a really bad idea - you could get left in the dust. Michel puts it plainly: "AI will not replace consultants; consultants who know AI will replace consultants." Simple as that.

In this episode you will learn about:

Why your human smarts and intuition are still gold, and how AI is here to reshape consulting, not scrap it.
The real pitfall: not AI itself, but consultants sleeping on how quick AI is changing the game.
Using AI smartly across your business – from finding clients to getting work done.
The big shift: treating AI like a new team member for faster turnarounds and sharper results.
Working through AI's blips and quirks with steady, clear feedback.
The RACES method for getting AI to give you what you actually want, plus using AI to fine tune your requests.
Figuring out AI’s ripple effects – for your clients and for your own consulting shop.
Keeping your practice ahead of the curve with guidance like that offered in Clarity Coaching.
