Do you want to talk like an advisor? Top-down communication is an important skill in management consulting. MBB consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) teach top-down communication skills in their mandatory onboarding programs for new consultants. As a former McKinsey consultant, I talk about how to talk like a consultant. I teach you the fundamental communication skills that management consultancies depend on. These are crucial management consulting skills; top-down communication is essential for any aspiring management consultant. This communication skills training teaches essential strategy consulting skills, which are presentation skills that are relevant for professional oral and written communication.
