Consulting Interview Readiness Diagnostic
A structured diagnostic meant to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. You’ll work a full case under realistic interview conditions, then receive a comprehensive evaluation against the dimensions firms actually use: structure, conceptual problem-solving, quantitative skills, communication, and synthesis. You'll be evaluated the same way I would evaluate interview candidates at McKinsey, and you'll leave knowing precisely where you stand and what to work on — and the practice plan is yours to execute. What’s included: • 90 minutes of live coaching: One full case (your choice of archetype) + behavioral interview. 60 minutes of interviewing, 30 minutes of feedback and live coaching • Recommended next steps
What's included
My approach is centered around putting you in the driver's seat; this means I am not a ghostwriter or done-for-you service. You’ll do the work — I’ll give you the frameworks, feedback, and challenge to do it well. Candidates who thrive with me are ones who want to genuinely build the skill, not just outsource the output.

I’ve always been interested in understanding how people think and make decisions, and have crafted a career around using that knowledge to help clients and individuals make confident decisions in challenging situations. As an ICF-certified coach, I work with early- and mid-career professionals on career transition, growth, and leadership development, including interview preparation. I find that many people approach these high-stress situations so blinded by anxiety they forget all the great and unique things they bring to the table; my role as a coach is to help people step back, reflect, and develop insight that allows them to meet their challenges with confidence. Prior to my time as a coach, I worked at McKinsey for seven years, where I worked at the intersection of Consumer and Private Equity, with a focus on due diligences and growth strategy. My approach to coaching centers around three core tenets: Serving as a mirror and playing back what I observe as you talk through the challenges you’re facing Synthesizing what I hear and see to help you develop insight on your thought processes, patterns, and motivations Using the insights developed to support you in crafting a course of action to tackle the challenge ahead of you Along the way, I use my knowledge of the consulting industry and interview process to help you sidestep common mistakes, develop resilience, and sharpen mindset to get you to the interview feeling ready to be at your best.
