We will be doing a segment that I call AMA, Ask Me Anything. If this is your first time tuning in, AMAs are when I have the utmost pleasure of connecting with either a seasoned or a former consultant and they give you advice. We had the chance to connect with Kofi Kankam. He is not only a former consultant, he’s now a serial entrepreneur. Kofi’s background is pretty remarkable. He is a Harvard graduate. He has his MBA from Wharton. In both of his businesses, he focuses his services specifically on helping people get into top tier colleges and universities across the world.

Some of the advice he is going to give is on how to make the best of your application and your candidacy for schools will be pertinent, not only for aspiring consultants, but also for seasoned or new consultants as well. This episode also concludes our Welcome Back to Campus series for all of my undergrad and grad go‑getters, so I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to drop us a line, [email protected] if you’ve got any questions or feedback or thoughts. We’d love to hear from you.

As a preview for next week’s episode, we’re going to do a deep dive. We’re going to talk a little bit about project management. If you’re in consulting, consultants primarily work on projects. That’s what we do. In order to be a great consultant, you have to have great fundamental habits of project management. We’re going to dissect that. We have a couple of seasoned experts that will talk to you next week to talk a little bit about project management, give you some specific tactics that you can use on your engagements.
