Consulting is a $130 billion industry (think: McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, Accenture), but it’s also a way of solving problems and influencing others.
There’s LOTS to learn and these are the type of skills that I teach Emory, through Coursera, and through this blog. Hope you find them helpful:
Solving problems by opening them up slowly, then aggressively closing them down with hypotheses an structured thinking
Writing great proposals that help you “win the work” without over-promising
Thinking about your career strategically; “what is your unfair advantage?”
Learning to love networking because it’s about being “generous” to others
Finding leverage in your work and also life; when is saying “no” a good thing?
Telling compelling stories with PowerPoint; using data to persuade
Keep doing great work, and stay in touch jkstrategy AT consultantsmind.com
