Consulting is a natural skill of a competent statistician (in my humble opinion). Indeed, it is a core aspect of sound training in Statistics. My own foray into consulting can be summarized below. These engagements -- often multiple with some clients -- have been a "classroom experience" for me in their own right as I have gotten to learn about other fields! If in search of a consultant, the Directory of Statistical Consultants from The American Statistical Association (ASA) is a reliable starting point.
