When you’re giving an informal, in person client recommendation or pov (not a pitch), do you stand at the front and present or sit around the table and walk through it? What’s your default and why?

Typically sit around the table and walk through if it's informal, but if it's a large room I'd stand for visibility

I follow the client vibe. If the vibe is more comfortable and it would feel awkward to stand then don’t.

Slides on a monitor, I prefer to stand, even if informal, especially with a larger group. Commands attention. Paper handouts, smaller group, will remain seated and run more of a discussion.

Honestly, whatever feels good for you. I’ve seen CSOs do both. Sometimes you need to just get up there and point at it.

Does anyone have any insight on what is entailed during an “expertise chat” at McK? I spoke to a recruiter and made it through to the next step. The next step is the expertise chat before progressing to the official first round interview. For reference, this is for their Healthcare Services & Technology practice. TIA

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.
