Thousands of Satisfied Clients and Transformed Careers
Syndey, Excel Course CustomerI found Excel for Consulting to be immensely valuable to me during my time at the MBA program at Emory. I was looking for a no-fluff course that covered the foundational concepts of Excel use on the job in consulting, and I found that with Excel for Consulting. I am extremely satisfied with the training I received, and look forward to building on it at Deloitte S&O.
Hudson, Excel Course CustomerAs an incoming BCGer I have been stressing out and been completely worried about my Excel skills going into my really exciting new position post MBA in Dubai. Your course is EXACTLY what I need and gives me the confidence I will have the core skills I will need.
Do you have the Excel/PPT skills to be a top performer?
It happens over and over – promising, capable consultants getting passed over for plum projects and advancement opportunities due to gaps in hard and soft skills, especially just average Excel and PowerPoint skills.
If only there was a way for new consultants to hit the ground running (or for existing consultants to quickly level up)…
There is. Presenting: Excel & PowerPoint for Consulting.
This course is designed to help you avoid pitfalls that will keep you from reaching your potential as a consultant:
- Overconfidence (“I don’t need anyone’s help!”)
- Not able to work efficiently under pressure
- Ineffective top-down communication skills
- Inability to gain and keep client trust
- Lack of executive presence
- Decks that miss the point
- Weak modeling skills
- Imposter Syndrome
This training was designed by MBB alumni to help you build critical consulting skills: Excel, PowerPoint, presentation ability, modeling best practices, and more – all customized to the unique needs of consultants.
Don’t let average Excel/PowerPoint skills limit your advancement
Effective communication through PowerPoint decks is more than just clicking buttons and aligning objects. We teach you how to influence clients and stakeholders via compelling storytelling.
You get what you pay for. This training was built for consultants, by consultants, to impart the analytical and storytelling best practices you need to succeed. Don’t just take an Excel & PowerPoint course, learn to think like a consultant.
We know your time is valuable. In this course, we’ve condensed the most critical 80/20 consulting skills into lessons covering everything you need and nothing you don’t – including skills not taught at many firms’ orientations.
Along with 30+ hours of self-paced training and hands-on exercises, you’ll get access to 6 real-world analytics prompts and a presentation case study to apply what you’re learning. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised (and engaged).
We teach skills that are universally desired and applicable throughout the consulting industry. Plus, we’ve included an overview of presentation styles at four major consulting firms: McKinsey, Bain, BCG and Deloitte.
Will your firm teach you how to build a deck? Yes. Will they teach you how to become a trusted advisor? Learning that is up to you – and this course will help you get there faster.
