I’m very interested in McKinsey data science consulting practices. But I’m also curious about other consulting firms that offer the similar services.

Something that doesn't come up often is the ability to extract a narrative and storytell. A lot of people just see it as "this is what the data says" but to go deeper/connect people to it and make it tangible is a big part of it that helps you progress faster

Good Evening My Fellow Christian Educators! I realize it is going to be challenging for me this year...with so many of my students performing below grade level expectations in ELA and MATH and also ensuring that all students follow the COVID Guidelines in the classroom. I still feel hopeful that God will bless me with the knowledge on how to effectively impact each one of those kids. Let's remember to keep all educators lifted in prayer this year.
Have a wonderful school year!!
God Bless All❤️

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

During your first round of interviews, ask “what characteristics or traits will make a candidate successful in this role?” Don’t ask SPECIFICALLY for leadership principles… but they will answer in leadership principles and it will give you an area of focus for going forward in rounds.
