Hear from my candidates!
COACHING TRANSFORMATION
“Those 30 minutes just upped my game 10-fold”
“YOU got me from being a total mess to being good enough to get [a Bain & Mckinsey offer]…if anyone I refer to you hesitates because of your fees, let me know so I can set them straight!”
“Looking back, it's remarkable how far we were able to come in the span of just 4-5 weeks”
“Crazy how I went from abysmal to offer-ready after just a few sessions with you”
“I am confident that this wouldn't have happened without you”
COACHING + NEGOTIATIONS
“With your negotiation support…+1 higher position, 50% salary increase, and an impressive signing bonus!”
FRAMEWORKING & OFFLINE MATERIALS
“From the Imbellus material to your prompts and everything…they helped me massively and I got phenomenal feedback across all 5 interviews on my structuring. I owe all that to you.”
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 3 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.
About Ian
My coaching is designed to prime you for success in casing in the least amount of time possible. It is not about learning everything or being cased in x specific industry/case type. It is about me giving you everything you need to go-it-alone and succeed! I am not just a case coach - I am a teacher. I am here to train and teach you - I identify your weaknesses and use different tools in different ways to help you unlock your potential. No two candidates are alike and that's why I adjust my coaching to help you succeed no matter where you're coming from.
