03 Boundaries with Chara Itoka

November 24, 2021 • Season 3 • Episode 3

Today I am speaking with Chara Itoka. Chara describes herself as a generalist with in-depth knowledge of a range of disciplines including strategy development, manufacturing, social enterprise, and teaching.

In this energetic and generous conversation, we learn about Chara’s journey into consulting. We focus on boundaries and how learning to set these is a vital yet overlooked skill. We hear how Chara recognised a gap inside an organisation and how she pitched her consulting services as a solution. And how this led to a fruitful and impactful longer-term relationship.
During this conversation we learn the key to Chara’s consulting sweet spot.
