8. Myth: You learn best in a great environment (43 minutes)
9. Different office environments = different career growth (22 minutes)

This program is designed to impart approaches, ways of thinking, techniques, and strategies that transcend the consulting industry. It offers valuable lessons for any professional seeking to enhance their strategic thinking, leadership skills, ability to influence, and career progression.
Some people are successful wherever you place them because they just get things done. They know how to figure out and navigate the system. And they create the kind of outsized value that makes them valued highly by the most influential people within the system.
So, the skills you can develop by going through this trilogy (Analyzing a Strategy Partner's Career—Partnership. Memoir—(Re)Building a Consulting Practice) are highly transferable and should not be ignored regardless of whether you are in consulting or not.
As with all of Michael's programs, these episodes are delivered in a riveting manner, ensuring that you are not only learning but thoroughly engaged with the content. Clients have told us multiple times that our programs are better than those of Netflix and HBO. Plus, they can make you the most influential person in the room.
