…what does that really mean?
You are consulting when a client asks where they can get a good burger in town and you suggest a joint at Main and 57th.
On the other hand, if a client asks you to set up a dinner meeting at that restaurant for a group of investors, provide a seating arrangement plan, and inform the participants of the time, place, etc., you are acting as an employee, a line manager, or surrogate manager.
Not a consultant.
This may seem obvious in the above examples but many consulting issues stem from a lack of understanding and distinction between these two examples, of what a consultant is and does and a manager.
