Knowing how to tell my story has presented me with opportunities I could only dream of as a child - from receiving a full-ride scholarship to the University of Notre Dame to joining McKinsey & Company’s Atlanta office as a consultant. My ten-year old self, sitting in a classroom in Nairobi, Kenya, doodling ideas of what my future could look like would be so proud of how far I have come.
Today, I empower others to land selective, high-paying jobs that may seem out of their reach by teaching them to harness the power of their stories.
By the end of this chat you will learn:
- Three tips to make your resume pass the 2-minute test
- How to choose the right stories and tell these stories the right way
- An interview tip that is easy to learn but that most people ignore
