Most new consultants walk in with work style blind spots they can't see – and their managers notice before they do.

In this episode, Namaan – COO of Management Consulted – breaks down his framework for owning your first 90 days in consulting: how to identify your blind spots, read your manager, and carry yourself like someone who's been doing this for years.

You'll learn:

  • What your manager actually cares about (hint: it's not how hard you work)
  • The 3 work styles that get consultants in trouble early
  • How to communicate answer-first and show executive presence from week 1
