Overview
It may be a cliché, but it’s an increasingly true cliché---We live in the Information Age. To a large extent, one’s success in our age depends on the ability to access, digest and synthesize information---without drowning in it. For most of us, it is a struggle to keep up to date with the information explosion. In both our personal and professional lives, we are constantly bombarded by volumes of information, often without a means of organizing and making sense of it all. Moreover, as much as we’d love to, we simply don’t have the time to research and read the latest literature on important professional and personal topics. Perhaps there is an alternative to information avoidance and/or overload.
Finucan—Peterson Consultants Ltd. love to learn new stuff and share our learning with others. You might consider having us to do your research for you. You tell us what you need to learn and we’ll do most of the leg-work. We’ll not only search for appropriate information, but we’ll prepare a concise summary that enables you to quickly grasp the issue.
Article and Book Summaries
Is there a book or article that you’ve wanted or needed to read, but haven’t found the time or energy to do so? If it’s related to the topics of achievement and well-being, just give us the reference to the publication and we’ll locate, read and summarize it for you. If you like, we’ll even provide you with a summary of what the critics have to say about the publication.
Issues and Solution Briefings
Maybe you don’t even have the titles of books or references to give us; maybe all you have is an issue, problem or challenge you need to solve. If it’s related to the topics of achievement and well-being, we can locate, read and summarize what the experts recommend about your issue, challenge or problem.

Consultations
Overview
If you’d like to speak confidentially with someone who is knowledgeable, attentive and doesn’t over-step his or her expertise, perhaps we can help. You may have an issue or problem that is perplexing you; you may just want to pick our brains; or you may simply want to touch base with someone you trust. Any topic related to achievement and well-being is fair game. We likely won’t tell you what to do, but we can offer information, perspective and referrals that will enable you to make informed choices. (If we don’t feel comfortable advising you on your particular issue or challenge, we’ll say so). What you choose to do with our input is your call.
Consultation Methods
Face-to-face
We’d be happy to meet with you in your office or home at a mutually acceptable time.
Telephone
If getting together won’t work for us, we could talk on the telephone.
Web-Cam
If you have a web-cam, and don’t mind talking through a computer, we can see and hear each other, without having to travel to do so.
If none of the above options is feasible, there’s always good old fashioned email.
