Available tomorrow
Starting at 3:00 PM UTC
I coach clients across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, and Leland shows my open times in your own time zone. Many of my clients are working consultants, so I keep evening and weekend slots. If none of the times suit you, send me a message and I'll do my best to find one. Cancellations or reschedules within 24 hours of a paid session are billed.

About
Most people I coach are already smart and hard-working. Many have done 30 or 40 cases. What stops them is usually something nobody has pointed out: they freeze when an interviewer pushes back, they go quiet on the maths, or they're trying to sound like a consultant instead of thinking like one. That's what I look for in our first session. I did my MBA at HEC Paris, then spent six years at McKinsey in Germany on projects across Europe, Africa and Asia. Later I ran an executive search firm for strategy and consulting roles, so I've sat on both sides of the interview table. Since 2014 I've coached more than 3,000 people in 50+ countries: bankers, engineers, PhDs, a US Marine, an opera singer, and consultants deciding whether to stay or leave. I'm an ICF PCC certified coach, and I wrote The Inner Journey of a Consultant, a #1 Amazon bestseller about what consulting does to the people inside it. How we'd work: one session first. I'll watch you solve a case or talk through where you are, ask a lot of questions, and tell you honestly what I see. You leave with a written plan. If it makes sense to continue, we design the next sessions around you. If you mainly want volume, plenty of great coaches here will run mocks with you. If you want to understand why you're stuck and fix it, book a free intro call.

Why do I coach?
My mother is a teacher, and I grew up around her students. I didn't plan to become a coach, but after McKinsey I noticed the part of the work I missed most was helping someone see a problem clearly for the first time. So I trained properly: ICF certification, Michael Watkins' First 90 Days method, and years alongside experienced executive coaches. I wrote my book because the hardest part of consulting was never the cases. It was the pressure, the self-doubt and the unwritten rules nobody explains. That's still where I do my best work.
