The other consultants in our sustainable agriculture cohort and I have been meeting monthly for two years to share resources and referrals, but lately I've noticed we're all getting more competitive and guarded about our client relationships as the market gets tighter. We still show up and smile but the genuine collaboration has shifted into something more performative and I don't know if anyone else feels it.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your professional group is quietly turning competitive, and no one will admit the friendliness has gone fake.
