How do you figure out attention to detail? I can get the job done and fast but I struggle with checking or doing the final details resulting in typos etc which are affecting my credibility. I do check but I still don’t catch some errors. In management consulting so it’s unacceptable

Stop focusing on fast and start focusing on getting everything right. May take more time which means an earlier start but generally people prefer right over fast.

McK1 - that’s the strategy I use. Develop a “gut check” for your decks, maybe even formalize it.

I also use my peers / team leads for review before handing over to PMDs or clients.

That being said, I had to pull myself off of a critical task because I hadn’t slept in about a week and my brain just said “there’s no way you’re getting this right”. Luckily, my team respected that.
