If you walk into McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, EY, Deloitte, et similia you will find spectacular people roughly a decade into their careers, who are in a circling pattern and struggling to progress.

They are blocked by the same skills that got them promoted before.

For your first ~10 years in professional services, your worth is tied to being right, in the sense that you run numerical analysis, catch the flaws, and ultimately build an identity around 0 defects.

The moment you try to cross the threshold to Partner, that unique focus with having the correct answer becomes almost a liability.

People outside the industry look at AI and assume consulting is dead. They think the job is basically just generating information...

If that were true, the industry would be finished long time ago!

Sounds obvious but let's repeat it here: C-suite execs do not hire consultants because they lack data.

External consultants are hired because, for the enterprise, the stakes are terrifying and competition is hot.

In this hyper-competitive market, a business has to focus entirely on its core to survive. The executive team cannot afford the distraction of managing massive transformations end-to-end.

They need it handled.

AI is able to generate an excellent-looking market map, but it cannot shoulder the professional risk of $1,000,000,000 decisions.

More importantly, an algorithm cannot herd 1,000s of anxious employees through a post-merger integration.

Consultants these days sell advice AND they sell risk transfer AND they sell execution.

A Manager thinks their job is to deliver a flawless artefact.

A Partner *knows* their job is to absorb fear and drive the actual change.

If you want to reach the senior ranks, you have to start a methodical *unlearning* process now.

5 ideas.

1) Understand the personal stakes.

Junior consultants only think about the financial impact of a project.

Partners understand the hidden variable: the buyer's personal career.

Address their professional risk, and their reputation.

2) The worst way to sell consulting is to pitch your firm's credentials.

If you can articulate the client's pain more precisely than they can, the client will automatically assume you have the cure...

3) You have to start selling the firm's capability.

The hardest psychological leap for a senior consultant is looking an exec in the eyes selling a complex engagement that you don't personally know how to execute, trusting in your ability to assemble the right experts.

4) You have to stop trying to prove your competence by dominating the meeting with facts.

Ask the one structural question the exec team has been avoiding.

Then, let the silence hang in the meeting...

5) Look at your calendar. The consultants who will never make Partner are entirely inward-facing.

They spend their afternoons redlining their team's deliverables, terrified some bad artefact will sink their reputation.

Instead, go have coffee with clients, give away your insights for free, listen for the issues that haven't even made it into a contract yet.

May write more on this another day, but for now, go and win.

All the best.

@RyanPaganetti @LRubinsonWFAN So sounds like you think it’s likely that Hurts is the Day 1 starter for the Eagles next year?

There has been speculation about moving on, but many are unsure how to interpret the cap and dead money ramifications, and also how interested the Eagles are in retaining Hurts.

[JJ Zachariason @LateRoundQB]

Every Monday morning during the fantasy football season, I put together a thread featuring data from the week's games. This isn't about takes. It's just about providing information.

Here's the Week 5 data dump.

[Jordie @jordiebarstool]

Andy Dalton lost his job because the Eagles are pulling a "Weekend At Bernie's" with Lane Johnson. And for that, I'm just glad that Howie Roseman still has his fastball.

[Zain Dhanani @DhananiZain]

A TON of changes as injury reports came out

Who better to get projections from than the one who breaks down all the utilization

Yes, Tre Tucker is startable this week

[Mike Woellert @Mike_Woellert]

#FFIDP The best tacklers at the off-ball LB position in Week 2. The linebackers with a tackle rate of at least 15% and a miss rate less than 10% in Week 2.

[Rich Hribar @LordReebs]

Week 1 over/under reactions.

Confirms priors, therefor must be true all season...

-BUF will throw more and downfield at a higher rate (DJ Moore and Kincaid are super values at ADP)
-GB will struggle to run and throw more with a clear target tree (Christian Watson is a smash and Love/Kraft/Reed/Golden are all buys at cost)
-HOU O will be a lot better (R2 Nico and R4 Monty are hits, Stroud undervalued QB2)
-D'Andre Swift is the best RB2 value
-Isaiah Likely checks the boxes for a TE breakout
-Brock Purdy is a bargain once again/Mike Evans is 2026 Davante Adams
-Get healthy, kings: Zay Flowers and Ladd McConkey
-Parker Washington and Jalen Coker are the end of 2025 surge guys to believe are real
-IDK if Achane can thrive in this MIA climate

[Hayden Winks @HaydenWinks]

Week 1 expected half PPR points at WR:
1. Amon-Ra St. Brown
2. Matthew Golden (ohhhhhhhh)
3. Chris Olave
4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
5. Nico Collins
6. DK Metcalf
... 17. Devaughn Vele 18. Jalen Coker

This is an insane amount of cologne to put on

GOOOOOD LORDDDD.

I don't agree with every one on here, but here is what the betting markets project for the fantasy FLEX options out there.

We'll be answering sit/start Qs on YouTube soon.

[Ian Hartitz @Ihartitz]

AJ Brown first 30 minutes with the Patriots:

-Looks like AJ Brown
-3-26-0 on 3 targets
-Open for 36-yard TD but underthrown so 34-yard DPI to set up a short score instead

[Rollin with Mahomies @mike_ffootball]

@HaydenWinks Ouch…Burden.
