Show notes

This podcast accompanies the recent article about a Turkish client who was trying to complete her MBA and move back to Turkey BCG or McKinsey after about 15 years outside the country. The podcast was done 18 months after the article was written so we will discuss her experiences since the time we provided the initial advice in the article.

225: How Michael Would Use The Consulting Offer Nov 04, 2014

Show notes

This is not a complex podcast. It is more a reminder. I talk through the very simple steps I would use when learning from The Consulting Offer: Read all the pages about the show Read all the session descriptions Read them again Develop my study plan Complete quizzes 0 to 9 Stick to my plan Go through sessions 1 to 23 in that order for Felix and some sessions from Sanjeev. You can also do all the cases from Samantha and Rafik. In general, go through the drop down menu of The Consulting Offer and pay attention to this page.

224: Picking a Mentor Who is Not the Best At their Field Oct 29, 2014

Show notes

This podcast is based on an off-the-record conversation I had with Felix when we were not recording The Consulting Offer. Sometimes after the 90 minute sessions we would engage in small-talk and useful things were discussed but never captured.
