Description
Cannot emphasize enough the importance of telling a powerful, moving, and unforgettable PEI story in McKinsey interviews. It's 50% of your overall interview grade, and its your chance to fully stand out among the other candidates. As an expert in storytelling and an experienced PEI coach whose clients received all outstanding positive feedback about their PEI - I help you craft the most convincing PEI story. Together we go through your major life and professional stories, we mine for diamonds, and we decide how to cut different diamonds to shine through. In this overall package, we accomplish the following goals: 1. Fully understand what each topic (Growth, Leadership, Connection, Drive) means and what elements each story needs to entail 2. Decide which story fits which topic(s) 3. Craft the complete stories with 3-layer of details 4. Anticipate questions being asked by interviewer, and prepare for the answers 5. Work on body language and engagement tactics This package is for candidates who are serious about getting the offer from McKinsey. You will gain long-term benefits for telling amazing stories, which are tremendously powerful in future shorter behavioral interviews.

Top 1% Case & PEI Coach|McK recruiting lead|400+cases|100+ Intl. offers
My clients are fully prepared before their interviews by 10 authentic MBB interiew cases not available to public. They got direct interviewer feedback that they have the strongest case framework and most unique PEI stories. While being a recruiting lead at McKinsey gave me the playbook, my unique coaching method is what makes the difference. I'm a top 1% coach new to LeLand with my tested drill method that can help you to tackle any unconventional case interview with confidence and creativity. I’ve coached 80+ candidates who have achieved a 100% success rate in securing consulting offers. We’ll take a comprehensive look at the entire interview process (both case and PEI), and run drill sessions to master each component—Math, frameworking, chart reading, brainstorming, starting and closing the case—until you feel 100% in each area. We’ll also practice the positive self-talk that helps you overcome challenges during interviews, because at the end of the day, so much of this is mental. While I bring the rigor and strategic thinking from my three years at McKinsey, my clients know me for my “soft but powerful” leadership style. I’m here to make this challenging process feel fun and empowering, ensuring your unique personality shines through as your greatest asset. Before Leland, I have been posting on social media platforms on how to excel in MBB interviews and generating 500k+ views in 1 month. Whether you're looking to master case/behavioral interviews or refine your application materials, I'm here to help you succeed. Background: ex-Junior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, where I specialized in consumer, TMT, and healthcare sectors, focusing on customer experience, go-to-market strategies, and pricing. Currently, starting out my leather good business. Very experienced with international candidates who speak English as second language and trying to break into consulting in an English speaking country.
