Impact and Imposter Syndrome in Consulting: Second Day Alums Lupe Avila + Ashley Fite


Listen Later

This was a special one for us! Mariam sat down with two Second Day alums about their journey from Impact Fellowship to full working professionals in nonprofit consulting. Second Day matched them both to Bell Creek Consulting, a boutique nonprofit consulting firm that supports leaders in government, nonprofits, foundations, and social-purpose private enterprises to achieve and sustain new levels of performance and effectiveness for the public good. They shared their experiences stepping into a completely new field while still a college senior in the middle of COVID, the projects they've been able to work on since joining, and Lupe shares why she chose to go back to school for a year before jumping back into consulting. This is a great episode for someone interested in understanding the world of social impact consulting, particularly through the lens of two people who are early (but deep) in it. Part 2 of this conversation covers application tips and can be found on The Launchpad! https://launchpad.secondday.org/courses/social-impact-consulting
