About Johannes
Coaching Approach
Work Experience

Hello there! 

My name is Johannes, and I’m here to help you prepare effectively and confidently for consulting interviews, particularly with firms like McKinsey. 

With over two years of experience at McKinsey and several more running my own business, I bring practical insights and a structured, hands-on approach to coaching.

What I offer:

  • Case Interview Preparation: Whether you’re practising McKinsey’s unique interviewer-led style or traditional candidate-led formats, I’ll guide you through crafting clear structures, solving complex problems, and presenting your solutions with impact. Every session includes personalized written feedback and actionable improvement steps.
  • Personal Experience Interview (PEI): McKinsey’s PEI is a critical component of the interview process. I’ll help you develop compelling, well-structured stories that showcase your leadership, personal impact, and ability to drive change.  
  • CV and Application Review: Your CV is your first step toward landing an interview. I’ll help you refine it to highlight your achievements and align with consulting expectations, supplemented with example templates and a checklist to ensure it is polished and professional.

What sets me apart?
When I prepared for my own McKinsey interviews, I approached it so thoroughly that I skipped the final partner round and secured my offer directly. I know the focus, precision, and communication skills required to excel in this process because I’ve lived it myself.

My goal is to equip you with the very same tools and concepts that I used back then in order to succeed, both during our sessions and in your independent practice.

Let’s work together to turn your ambitions into success. Whether you’re preparing for McKinsey or other top firms, I’m excited to help you achieve your consulting dreams!

My Coaching Philosophy
My goal is to make your consulting preparation process clear, structured, and effective. Having been through this journey myself, I understand the challenges and focus on helping you tackle them step by step with practical, actionable guidance.

What You Can Expect from Our Sessions

  1. Structured Preparation: Each session is customized to your needs, whether you’re mastering case interviews, honing PEI stories, or refining your CV. You’ll leave with targeted feedback and materials like case frameworks, issue trees, and templates to guide your practice.
  2. Realistic Case Practice: I replicate the intensity and style of real consulting interviews, particularly McKinsey’s format. My thorough feedback will highlight your strengths and improvement areas, equipping you with tools for continuous growth.
  3. Practical Tools and Resources: Beyond coaching, I provide valuable materials to ensure your success both during and after our sessions.

Why This Matters
Clarity and precision in communication are essential for success in consulting. Whether collaborating with teams or engaging with clients, your ability to structure and convey ideas effectively demonstrates the mindset of a strong consultant. Interviews are designed to simulate these real-world interactions with clients, and my coaching will help you showcase the problem-solving and communication skills needed to excel in both the interview room and beyond. Together, we’ll ensure you’re ready to impress.
