What does it actually take to succeed in consulting — beyond frameworks and technical skills?

In this episode of Consulting Unpacked, Jenny Rae Le Roux breaks down the five core skills consultants rely on every day — the same ones firms test for in case interviews and reward once you’re on the job.

You’ll learn:

  • Why structured thinking isn’t just about frameworks
  • How prioritization and communication separate top performers from everyone else
  • The mindset that helps great consultants grow

If you’re preparing for interviews, already in consulting, or deciding whether this career path makes sense for you, this episode gives you a clear lens on what really matters.
