All Four PEI Stories Rewrite Within 48 Hours
Lack of PEI story ideas? Or have stories but know they're not landing? Either way, the problem is usually the same — great experiences buried under weak structure. You send me your PEI stories (up to 4). I'll rewrite each one into a structured, interview-ready narrative using the format and standards McKinsey interviewers actually look for. For each story, you'll receive a fully rewritten version with a clear situation setup, concise actions that highlight your individual impact, and a strong result with quantified outcomes where possible. I'll also include brief annotations explaining why I made key structural choices, so you learn the logic, not just get a polished draft. Once you've reviewed, we'll do one round of revisions to fine-tune tone, adjust details, or swap in stronger examples if needed. This is ideal if you already have rough story ideas or drafts but know they're not landing. You'll walk away with stories you can confidently deliver in any McKinsey PEI dimension — Personal Impact, Leadership, or Entrepreneurial Drive.
What's included
You send me your raw stories or experience bullet points via message. Within 48 hours, I'll return fully rewritten, structured PEI narratives with annotations. You review, send any feedback, and I'll deliver a final revised version within 24 hours. I've spent years on McKinsey PE/M&A diligence cases and know exactly what interviewers are listening for. So every story is built around what actually moves the needle in a PEI conversation.
- Up to 4 fully rewritten, interview-ready PEI stories structured to McKinsey standards
- Annotations explaining the structural choices so you can adapt and refine on your own

Top Ex-McKinsey Coach | 100% Offer Rate | I Teach First-Principles Thinking
I teach the method that got me the highest mark on every McKinsey interview dimension, a result my interviewer called extremely rare. For cases, it is a procedure for thinking on your feet, whatever the prompt. For PEI, it is a story structure built to the interviewer’s evaluation form, so every criterion is covered. Today I have a large network of former students working across firms and offices. My coaching style differs from other coaches in three ways. 1. Efficient: you improve immediately, whatever level you start from 2. Direct and interactive: sessions run at McKinsey’s communication standard. You solve the case out loud. I prompt you to think and redirect you the moment you go off track, so the correction lands where the mistake happens. By the end we have solved it together. I push you to think rather than give you the answer or generic advice, because the thinking has to become yours 3. Practical and specific to you: advice you can act on, plus homework between sessions Other coaches may give you hope. Working with me gets you the offer.
