Bring Your Best Self: Mastering Behavioral Interviews

After this session, you will know how to structure behavioral responses that hold up under follow-up questions, identify which stories from your experience map most cleanly to common competency frameworks, and recognize the specific signals that tell an interviewer you are self-aware and coachable.

Attending live means you can bring a real answer you have been working on and hear direct feedback on what is landing and what is getting in the way, which a recording simply cannot replicate. The coach works with candidates on behavioral interviews regularly and will share the patterns that consistently separate strong responses from forgettable ones, giving you a clear picture of how this thinking applies to your own preparation.

The Consultant's Playbook for Landing a Chief of Staff Role [8/4/2026] (Recording)

Most consultants have the skills to be a great Chief of Staff — they just don't know how to make the case. Structured thinking, stakeholder management, executive presence: it's all there. But the translation from consulting to CoS isn't automatic, and most people don't know where to start. After three years at Deloitte, a stint in Venture, and an MBA at Kellogg, I made the jump into startups and landed as Chief of Staff at Arch, a Series B company. I learned firsthand what the role actually demands — and where consulting training helps versus where it gets in the way. In this session, we'll break down what the CoS role really is, how to position your consulting background, and how to navigate a job search where most roles never get posted. Spaces are limited, RSVP to secure your spot.
