What's Really Holding You Back? Deep Case Session
One 60-minute session to find out why your case interviews aren't working yet, and what to do about it. Whether you're starting from zero, stuck after 50 cases, an experienced hire or facing a final round, you leave with a written plan.
Most people don't get stuck because they lack frameworks. Something deeper is usually off, and that's what we find in this session. Bring whichever of these sounds like you: "I'm starting from zero." Learn to crack cases from first principles: structure, maths, clear thinking. "I've done 50 cases and I'm still stuck." We find what's really going wrong and fix the root cause, not the symptom. "I'm an experienced hire, and cases feel like a different sport." Turn your real work experience into partner-level case answers and fit stories. "My final round is coming." Partner-level pressure, so you walk in ready for the offer. You leave with a written action plan. Real coaching doesn't come in a box. We start with one session. If we find value in working together, we design the next steps around you and set up a package here on Leland.

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.
