Verity

Hi I'm Verity, 
When I started my consulting recruitment journey it felt like a very big mountain to climb. I had no finance background, no consulting experience and I hadn't done any maths since I was a teenager. I spent months trying to understand how all the different pieces, (frameworks, structure, mental maths, presentation style, asking the right questions), fit together. It felt like an impossible task BUT I am the kind of person who has to really get the whole picture before things click into place and it did. My coaching style is centred around really trying to help people to understand the whole picture of the problem, contextualise it into real world contexts and solve it using reasoning skills you already have rather than trying to purely memorise frameworks. Contrary to what most people think top consultancies are trying to hire people who can come at a problem with an open mind, bring their life experience with them to think it through and most importantly collaboratively work together to find the solution. 

I'm dyslexic and have ADHD. Reading fast and holding everything in my head were never going to work, so I built other ways round it. If you learn differently too, this is the coaching I enjoy most and I'll happily spend a session just on process before we touch a case.

A bit of background: LBS MBA, finished in June. Summer at McKinsey. Last cycle I got to final rounds at McKinsey, BCG and Bain, with offers from McKinsey and Bain. Before business school, eight years as a Royal Navy officer and two years as Chief of Staff for the UK government's overseas crisis response team.

I cover cases across all firms and formats, PEI and fit, CV review, and MBA applications. Sessions are on Zoom, or in person in London.
