Learn moreUnderstanding Coaching – and the distinction with Advice
Our masterclasses and Advice content give you tactical answers – what to put on your CV, how to prep for an interview, how to structure a negotiation, how to network effectively and much, much more. Coaching is different.
A coach won't tell you what to do – they'll ask the right questions.
Questions that help you think clearly, understand why you're feeling the way you are, and take action with confidence. Most people get value from both – it just depends on what problem they're trying to solve. Use advice when you know what you need to do and want the tactics. Use coaching when the question is bigger than a tactic – working out what you actually want, weighing a hard trade-off, or building the confidence to act on a decision you've made.

Coaches who actually get it
We're working with a hand-picked group of coaches who are 100% specialised in supporting (ex)consultants with career transitions.
Meet Kate Van Akin
Executive & Career Transition Coach
Kate is a great example of the calibre of coaches we work with – and of how uniquely suited they are to support current and former consultants with career transitions.
Before launching her career as a coach, Kate trained as a lawyer at Harvard and spent 10 years at McKinsey (leaving as Associate Partner). Since then, she has supported countless professionals – many of them (ex)consultants – through pivotal career shifts, focusing on the inner work that enables bold change.
What coaching can help you with
Coaching is built around whatever specific challenges you're facing – there's no fixed set of topics that can be tackled. That being said, here are some examples of situations our members often want support with:
Career soul searching
You're not sure what you want next, or whether your current path is right for you. You want to work through your values and figure out what a genuinely fulfilling career looks like, before deciding what to do about it.
Balancing priorities & big decisions
You know your options and have to make decisions – weighing a promotion against family time, whether to relocate, whether to stay somewhere stable but draining. You want a clear-headed way to work through trade-offs.
Leadership & personal development
You're in, or heading into, a leadership role and want to become a more confident, effective version of yourself – whether that's mindset, leadership style, or a specific challenge you're facing.
How we find the right coach for you
We've hand-picked the best coaches for current and former consultants
We've curated an incredibly specialised group of coaches. Not life coaches or generic career coaches – real experts in helping (ex)consultants navigate career transitions. As such, we're confident that every one of our coaches would be a great fit for you. That said, we know that people have different preferences, so we match you along the following process:
Book your package
You simply purchase your 4-session package.
Tell us what you're looking for
We send you a short survey to tell us your preferences when it comes to your coach.
We match you
1-2 working days after receiving your survey answers, we will connect you with your matched coach.
Not the right fit? We'll re-match
If after your first session it genuinely isn't working, let us know and we'll re-allocate you to another coach.
