Credentials are one thing—everyone on your shortlist has them—but the best way to get to gauge the depth of a consultant's knowledge and ability is, well, it's to hire him or her. The second best way is to read the consultant's published works. I've written two books all by my lonesome, co-authored two other books, and written somewhere north of articles published in many of the most respected industry publications and Websites.
Below are many of my recent articles from numerous publications

More than how many years (many) or clients (more than 100) I've served as a consultant and trainer, my books and articles are my real credentials.
