It's not plagiarism mate - I'm just worried this good stuff might not be around forever :)
A deer in the headlights—that’s how I felt during the first few weeks in my consulting career. While I’ve heard people telling me romanticized jet setting stories, and earning miles or hotel rewards; surprisingly, not many told me about what I can do to prepare for a career in consulting.
PowerPoint
Value in consulting is derived from a consultant's ability to solve problems for their clients. The vehicle to communicate those solutions is PowerPoint. Consultants must be able to take incredibly complex and challenging client issues, create solutions, and communicate those solutions succinctly. Clients, normally, are not interested in seeing a complicated 50-slide deck. Clients want to know solutions up front. I have been in plenty of client meetings where we have spent an entire meeting discussing the first two slides and leaving the other 15-20 as appendix/support items. In addition to expressing complicated problems/solutions, consultants must also create decks that are professional looking. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS! PowerPoint skills gained in industry often do not compare to the skills and expectations in management consulting.
