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.
