Episode 93: Career Advice From The Best In The Business – Round Five

Regular listeners will know what this episode is all about. But for those of you who are new to the show or have only started listening recently, you might need a little more explanation. Every few months we like to take a break from our usual interview format to give you something slightly different. Which is where this episode comes in. Our guests give so much great advice and nowhere is this truer than in their answers to the round up question in each episode: “What one piece of advice would you give to someone just starting their career in consulting, someone at Manager level and someone approaching Partner.” We love listening to their varied but always insightful answers and we know you do too. That’s why we like to put them all in one place in these career advice round-up episodes, so you’re not left scrolling through multiple episodes to find them. Today you’ll hear from a host of guests from the past six months of Climb In Consulting. They’ve come from a range of backgrounds, a range of different consultancies and all have unique perspectives to share about how to succeed in the sector. In this episode we bring together: - James Constable, CEO of Albany Beck - Tom Hewson, Senior Partner at RedCompass Labs - Angus Ridgeway, formerly of McKinsey, now leading Potentialife - Kevin Ellis, Chairman and Senior Partner at PwC UK - Ben Rudman, Co-Founder and CEO of MMT Digital - Richard Fenning, formerly of Control Risks, now partner at Manchester Square Partners - Jonathan Davis, Managing Director of Avaloq We love listening back to these guests. It reminds us just how much great advice they share, and we hope you find it just as enlightening as we do.

Om Podcasten

As a management consultant myself I’ve always been lucky to have mentors who have guided me through my career. When I was in house I regularly had quality time with Senior Partners that helped me rapidly accelerate my career and has continued to help since I’ve gone out on my own. While I had this great resource and knowledge bank to draw on I know many friends in Consulting aren’t as lucky with some only speaking with senior partners on a monthly or quarterly basis. That’s why I created this podcast. I wanted to help people like you who want to accelerate their careers in consulting by interviewing leaders in the field to share the advice, tips and strategies that they used to get to the top so that you can to so that you can too. In each Episode I’ll be interviewing a senior figure in the industry so that you can learn from them. We’ll be going deep in to their background, how they succeeded and what their advice would be for you.
