Prepped and Primed 10 by Coach Ian
This package includes ten, fully customizable 1 hour coaching sessions. Included for free with the coaching is a 100+ video course I have designed to provide you with offline training, learning, and deep-dive exercises - this course represents free coaching sessions and allows us to focus our live time on what can best help you.
Feel free to reach out to me here: https://mconsultingprep.com/coaching/21852
*Ultimately everything I do is tailored to you as the individual. We work on what you need. This coaching package can be changed/modified to suit your needs - as an example, if you don't need resume/networking help, we can repurpose that time for frameworking / case leadership)
This package is designed to prime you for success in casing in the least amount of time possible. It is not about memorizing everything or being cased in x specific industry/case type. It is about me fundamentally changing your mindset to be prepared for anything that comes your way in the interview.
I fundamentally believe that we don’t go to school to learn x topic. Rather, we learn how to learn. Same with this package: I won’t teach you x case type, however I will teach you how to approach any unknown case type successfully.
But, don't just believe me when I say I provide a step change in your ability to change your thinking and get an offer.
Hear from my candidates!
COACHING MATERIALS
"I have just secured my Bain offer!
Ian is a great coach and his materials are extremely helpful. As someone who works full-time, I needed a coach who could help me focus on what matters most and, most importantly, someone who could offer me a structure way to studying and understanding how consultants think. Ian offered both! He is very charismatic, open, and gives you honest feedback during the coaching sessions. In addition, he provides access to an extensive "coaching materials library" prepared by him, which goes beyond simply giving you tons of articles to read and practice cases but instead is a series of videos and exercises which really help you change/adapt the way you think and helps you solve any (or at least most) cases you will come across. If you cannot afford multiple coaching sessions at least get that, it will give you a great headstart and is better than anything I came across online while I was on the lookout for help."
COACHING
"I strongly recommend Ian for the following 3 reasons: capability, reliability, and result-proven record. Thanks to him I got a BCG offer.
Firstly, Ian's capability as a case coach is really impressive. He's an outstanding consultant and an excellent case coach. Ian leverages his extensive experiences and knowledge gained from BCG and applies it to the learning examples and methods. As a result, his question, thinking process, and solutions were eye opening for me.
Secondly, Ian's reliability is one among many coach characteristics I liked about him. He tailors your individual studying plan as he promised in the first session. In addition, he asks the right questions and finds the right approaches to meet your true demands, as well as grow your problem solving skills. As a result, you can trust Ian to make your case learning a fun and rewarding journey.
Thirdly, Ian's result-proven record has amazed me in many aspects. As a result, both of my mindset and skillet has improved so much after his coaching. Moreover, other coachees who have received Ian's help advanced to either better positions in preparation phase or offers from top consulting firms such as MBB.
I highly recommend Ian and you will learn a lot from him."
SUPPORT
"Highly recommend Ian as your coach (for Application, PEI, Case Prep,... you name it). I started as an absolute beginner and was able to accelerate my MBB prepping process much much faster.
Prior to Ian, I purchased MConsultingPrep's E2E program (~$600), and for two months I could not get started for the life of me, as I did not have a clear action plan and had no idea how to create it. I saw myself improving only after 1 week with Ian than 2 months using other programs and randomly browsing on the internet.
Additionally, it does not matter how many YouTube/ MCP's videos you've watched, nothing really compares with having a coach to put yourself in the right path, guide you from the beginning, and continue to support you along"
CV / RESUME / COVER LETTER
“I honestly think that whatever price you put, the value you generate is even 10x more…my CV is 10x better than it used to be”
“HR fell in love with my CV…I got a personal response from the recruiter on how my CV stood out”
An example of what our coaching might look like (emphasis on example!):
-
Preparation plan
In this session, I work with you to identify your key weaknesses and areas for improvement. Not only will we then create a preparation plan for you, but I will also provide you with all the materials required to resolve these issues.
-
Mindset shift
I’ll hone in the major areas blocking your success. I’ll have identified these in our first session and we’ll work to fundamentally change your mindset.
-
Final touches
In this final session, we do some combination, based on your needs.
What does my coaching look like?
Ultimately, no two coaching sessions look the same. I have a toolkit build over years of teaching and training. I use different tools in different ways based on you: your situation, your strengths & weaknesses, and your learning style.
That said, here is an example of what our coaching might look like (emphasis on example!):
EXAMPLE Session 1 - Preparation plan
In this session, I work with you to identify your key weaknesses and areas for improvement. Not only will we then create a preparation plan for you, but I will also provide you with all the materials required to resolve these issues. *See below for the materials I provide*
If you are further along in your preparation, this session might include:
- Casing resources (incl. case layout template, “world of frameworks” visualisation, industry deep-dive template w/ answers)
- Initial case to gauge strengths/weaknesses, alongside concrete recommendations for focus areas
- Instructional videos primarily focused around building up your structuring and frameworking abilities
- Crash course on frameworking/struturing
If you have just started your consulting journey, this session might include:
- Start-stop case (working through a case together so that you can get jump-started in your casing comfort level)
- Deep-dive resume review (incl. killer template)
- Deep-dive cover letter review (incl. example Cover Letters)
- Networking/recruiting plan (incl. recruiting tracker)
- Casing resources (incl. case layout template, “world of frameworks” visualisation, industry deep-dive template w/ answers, case tracker/matrix)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE Session 2: Mindset shift
In this session I’ll hone in the major areas blocking your success. I’ll have identified these in our first session and we’ll work to fundamentally change your mindset. I have almost never seen a candidate that did not need a mindset shift in at least one area. This will be a very focused session, where I use tried-and-tested methods to fundamentally shift your mindset!
Some of the most common areas include:
- Driving/understanding the case with purpose (hypothesis-driven only scratches the surface here)
- Fundamentally understanding how companies work
- Structured + clear thinking and communication
- Keeping context while in the weeds
- Brainstorming / flexibility with the unknown
- Being a real person – showing your personality
- Logical, project-based thinking of any problem, no matter how big or how small
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE Session 3 – Final touches
In this final session, we do some combination of the following, based on your needs
- Revisit mindset shift exercises
- Tough case – I throw everything at you, and provide detailed feedback
- Behavioural discussion (how to craft your stories and key principles)
- Deep-dive on framework or industry of your choosing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the end of these sessions, you will have the fundamentals required to ace the case. You will have gotten rid of rejection-worthy bad habits and you will have the vision and focus required to ultimately achieve interview success.
