this was an insanely high-value video! Condensed, informational, and zero fluff. Really loved the structure and your brief explanation of each skill. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome that you are posting vids again. Look forward to seeing some more travel ones soon.
This was very very helpful! I am in the process of switching careers and working towards getting in as a consultant/BA and these skills are right up there! Thank you!
I love how well you describe and break everything down, I’ve been looking forward to this next consulting video! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you!!
so helpful to study English!! Your pronounciation is so clear♥️
I always feel weird with uncertainty, but it’s something you need to be comfortable with as a consultant.
very true!
@@bykchoiI’ve been in change management for a while. Do you use any models like prosci of Lewins?
@teamthinkbiginternational475 hey what is prosci of Lewins?
@@shrilakshmiaravamudhan2397 Prosci is Change Management Methodology firm. They use ADKAR to implement change. Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. Lewins is a change theory "Unfreeze, Change, Freeze" in terms of individuals and organizations. As a practitioner I use both of these models depending on the project/client.
Communication is such a vital skill to have no matter what field you are working in. Great list of skills, k choi!
Totally agree!! Especially the self care part, I used to skip meals (breakfast) when things got crazy but now I try to MAKE TIME for self-care, both physically and mentally. Always try to squeeze one hour a day to read and three hours a week to yoga!! Also love your videos as always!
I’m glad you’re trying to take better care of yourself now! Thanks for watching :)
Kchoi, you would be an amazing professor! You have a great soothing voice that makes a person listen and comprehend information easily when you talk.
Hahaha aw thank you!!
Totally agree. I am so much into her videos.
You have great content and I find your video getting better now. Thanks for sharing 😊
Kristina your videos are helping so much recently. I got a job on a consultant company as an internship and I'm learning so much even knowing is just the start. Watching your videos is making this process of adaptation better for me :)
Thank you!! And good luck with your internship 💛
Thanks a lot for this video! It's super helpful for an aspiring consultant.
Great Video K. No.10 was my favourite, it’s definitely a good skill to have.
You look gorgeous and are so professional!! I got inspired whenever I watch your video Thank you ~
How wonderful is your video!! Keep up with your upcoming ones:)
Hey! Love your videos 😊 I recently started my channel on consulting as well! So glad you started posting again💕
Thanks!!
이번 영상도 유익하게 잘 봤어요 :) 화이팅!
Absolutely loving these videos!! 💗 I hope to become a consultant in the future with my step mum and dad previously being one! 🤞
Good luck!!
LOVED THIS! Please please please do a video about one of your self-care routines! Would love to see that :)
Oooh!
So happy to find your channel! I have an MPA right now but might pursue an MBA to gear my career towards consulting. I feel lost. haha
Hey! I've watched and stalked your videos since I lived in Canada to enhance my Eng but I eventually became a fan by your cool life style. Nice to watch new videos recently, keep it up!
Aw thank you!!
I’ve been watching your vids for a while but my gosh you’re beautiful and look extra stunning in this vid 🤩. Not only that, but you’re so articulate and intelligent💖. I always look forward to your videos and they make me so excited about the future (even though I want to go into PR instead of consulting haha)
Useful tips. Will keep on updating.
Love this!!!
Thank you for sharing this, very informative!
Such a good and genuine video! Keep it going :)
thank you!!
i missed your videos so much 😍
Thank u so much for providing this knowledge, I want to become consultant, business coach in future, hope this will helpful for me
I love your videos!!
Thank you so much for your advice! 💖
Thanks for watching!
This summary is so useful!
Love your voice!
Omg you're getting prettier! And thank you so much for the video. xoxo
Sounds like shade
😂
Awesome insights ♥️
This is so interesting! Also listening to your voice kind of calms me down, as odd as it sounds 😅 sending you all the love❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha I’ve heard that before 😂 thank you for the support!
I agree! Feel so relaxed with this natural sweet voice
Thank you. this was very helpful.
Found your videos while researching Deloitte. I had someone representing Deloitte reach out to me for a Cyber Security consulting job. The company seems decent, and they are offering a good sign on bonus. I'd be interested in hearing some pros and cons of the company as I don't do consulting now but I am extremely customer facing and involved in pre-sales processes so this would not be too much of a new territory for me. Culture is everything to me, if I don't interact with anyone else in the company while I am
consulting I'd like to hear about it from someone in the company. Anyone in the comments that reads this that consults for Deloitte give me some pros and cons.
Thank you for the self care reminder. It's easy to forget in any position, especially consulting. What do you recommend to people like me who keep applying to firms and get nowhere? (Try a different company, tweak the resume, etc.?) Thanks- and another great job!
I am working in the different field but this video has helped me a lot. I love your videos! Thank you so much for amazing ones💛💛💛
thank you for watching!!
Great points👍
Thanks for your sharing!
I'm transitioning into consulting and I'm excited because I've realised I've been doing a lot of this already...
This is so informativeee
I love this video. I work as consultant before . All your advise it’s true.
☺️
Thank you thank you. Your video will help me a big-time in this upcoming big major consulting interview. It is a good way to re-firming my existing skillset.
Good luck!
i’m glad to see you posting videos again! would you happen to have any insight on environmental consulting?
thank you!! i don't know too much about it but i can try to do some research :)
@lynne I’ve been in the env. consulting sector for 3 years. A lot of what kchoi’s tips ring true, especially time mgmt. and social skills with the client. Although I enjoy the work, the clients typically have a hard time “buying in” to our services and view it as a necessary evil to their bottom line.
Mike Tran ahh i see i’m considering this career path once i graduate! thanks for the tip :)
Thanks for your useful sharing and I will have an interview with partner in Deloitte consulting and I think this video will be very helpful to respond to his questions.
Great video!!
I used to watch your videos but stopped for a few years for some reason and a few days ago I was wondering what you were up to! Crazy to see that you're working as a consultant now, when I'm about to join a Project Management Master's program! Will definitely have to catch up on all your videos!
welcome back! :)
@@bykchoi Thank you!
Thank you for your sharing,love you
Thank you so much for this video. It is very useful also for those who are working for long time (by now) to be reminded of those skills: time management, flexibility and good communication... I will show this video to some of my coworkers, so they are reminded too. Thank you so much 😀
Hahah thanks!
@@bykchoi Looking forward to your next post. 😀
Thanks I really needed it dear
I like the video it's great, thanks. And can you share some ideas about how to find a job you like or some interview skills.
OMG, you're so pretty ..
Nice video, K Choi.
I'm an engineer, but I work in an engineering consultant. 'though it's a bit different with what you're doing now, but I can relate it ..
Thanking you for posting this video! Very useful content! Is it possible to do a more detailed video on how to manage time at work? ( I assume that it would be different from at school/uni?)
Great idea! :)
Best videos ever
Hello !
Really nice tips !!! I agree without doubt to all of them 😄
Yet knowing them and applying them aren't that easy
Yeah, true self-care is important no matter whatever profession you're into.
I mean...😍 so good.
Hehe
It's great contents, Thank you
Self Care !! 🙏👍👍👍

Hi Kchoi- Big fan of your videos. They're both very insightful and helpful to me at this particular point in my life. One question for you: can I leverage my psychology degree + relevant experience into a consulting career without an MBA?
thanks well presented :)
Kristina! Thanks for the video upload. Are these skills in the order of preference? Your content is really nice. Best, Div
No particular order!
The most beautiful consultant
This is what i asking yesterday!!!!!! Thank you i will prepare hahahah
:)
Lady, Thank You
Excellent
Honestly love this content because I am thinking of going into consultancy. I was wondering what's the average pay for it in the US or when you start and do you need to work your way up or is there a specific route to get the title of "consultant"?
Great information I am a new subscriber. Good morning
10. is dead true, after sprinting so much for a year and being up for promotion in a consultancy firm... It gets super tiring, without considering any avenue to relieve stress. haha
Hello Ms.choi :) always thank you for soo useful tips and advices videos, Could you please kindly let me know which video editing program you use~? I wish to record a vlog, but im not sure if i can get used to video edit program :-(
Really good content！
Thank you so much!
wow very very powerful massage provided sister thank you so much heartly
Amazing
Did you get an LLC/website just starting out? What are the steps to getting started? Thank you! Great video!
Wait - how about love/family life? Hehehe
How about the skill of organizational skills and multi-tasking skills? Also, discipline and reflecting are important for a consultant.
Can you give examples of specific deliverables/reports consultants work on for example on a day to day basis?
Hi Kristina,
I am reaching out because I am curious about your experience in switching careers and I would love the opportunity to speak with you.
I've been working in the same industry and although I am very happy at my current job, I am exploring the possibility of switching to something different in the future. In the process of figuring it out, I interview people who went through career transitions and I found you on CZcams and saw that you went from PR to Consulting. I'd really appreciate it if you could share your experience and how you did it with me.
My sister and I own a blog together and part of what we do is we interview people who have successfully switched careers and learn how they did it, in hopes to spread the message to more people so they can achieve the same thing for themselves.
We would love to interview you and learn more about your journey. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Smart AND beautiful.... it is nice to see girls like you doing what you like and feel passionate about it, amazing content and really nice video, informative and with a good quality plus you kept the video short. Keep it going, muchas gracias.
Wow thank you so much! I’m glad you find my content helpful/useful :)
Enjoying watching your videos. Are you a Korean American?
Hi, I think MS Office skills , in particular MS Excel and MS PowerPoint are also definitely necessary skills for a consultant.
Hi kchoi!!
Do consultants need to have all management domain knowledge?
i always wonder about daily or workout routines. can a consultants still have time to do that? my consultant friends always say they dont because of the overwork
Great video kristina! What do you recommend to have business knowledge and commercial awareness? Is there any websites that you keep up with to know current business trends? Anyone else in the comments have any suggestions too? :)
you look like a teenager, but radiate the authority of a master
First of all, truly appreciated for the video, you did a great job. But not meant to bring negative energy here lol I have all of em PLUS a top-30 mba degree, still didn’t get hired for even a consulting internship. Been trying to get involved in related communities and networking events but nothing. I know my undergrad grades was trash (3.1/4 at Michigan Ann Arbor) but my mba gpa (concentration in strategic management) is perfect so far (4 out of 4) and will complete quite soon. Will be a jobless loser on $80k student loan debt this summer. 😂 Not gonna apply for govt benefit but will make sure to stay unemployed until I get a job that I like the most, for example, strategic consulting. BTW I’m an Asian male with a not-so-technical undergrad degree, which is gonna hold me back even more. Possibly to return to my home country cuz my parents got big name govt officials as connections who can hook me up with hr people at MBB. It’s harsh reality but people in the US really don’t care about people like myself, so gonna take my talent elsewhere and be a millionaire faster than all of em POSs.
And information for new recent grads even from a soft science field like Sociology dealing with data / public institutions/ social work etc. More government related. Are there opportunities to get into the industry in NYC?
Thanks for sharing! I am in the healthcare industry and currently looking for consulting job to switch my career path.
Good luck with your career change! I changed careers as well (from PR to consulting) :)
@@bykchoi I watched that video too! Thanks for sharing your experience. It was very helpful. That gave me idea and courage to switch my career path.
Can u do a video about analytical skills？
Hello how are you, I'm a professional looking to break in to consulting. I have tried jobs and today in this economy it seems to be more options in challenging careers.
So I like your video. I should be to be the top introductory to consulting. I like to information that you are sharing. And having most of those qualities and more. I believe consulting would be great work where I can use all of my talents, skills and educations. Thank you for your time.
My name is Mix . And I recently have been moving place to place on a limited budget. I don't have my own place.
And desperately am in need of redirection.
What is required to take on this role. Like credentials, experience in consulting.
Or just basic knowledge on business marketing and other skills needed to support my clients and making then feel confident in making successful decisions.
Breaking down the make, the design and how the exchange will work.
I have only watch your video once. But I want to find out if I am a natural at consulting.
I want to venture into helping smaller retail businesses mainly food service and dry goods. I have over 10 years experience with half that being in a supervisor and management roles. I've honestly lost interest in climbing the corporate ladder. I want to just help the number go in the right direction. Any advice would be helpful in getting my plan of attack I order.
what kind of consultant? any specific industry? could you please give more details? It's kind of genre, as those your advices are all soft skills, I am kind of wondering if any hard skills are needed
Hello! I hope you see this comment, I wish you could give me some carrer advice.
I'm starting a consulting business but I hate social media and I'm not interested in production or making content so, I can't do the same consulting services than most millenianls do, I'm an expert in accounting, I like finance and economics and I don't know what services can I try to offer, what do you suggest? Doesn't matter if is something hard to learn, I'm not looking to do easy stuff
