THE LEVERAGED LIFE: A Week in Consulting, Unfortunately

Busy, but good. >The Leveraged Life follows Alex, a consultant navigating a week on Project HELIX. A familiar cycle of early flights, back-to-back meetings, workshop optimism, SteerCo performance, and carefully worded emails that "land well". From airport lounges and delayed flights to alignment meetings that don't align and slides that are almost right, this is a quietly accurate account of modern consulting life. It's a story about: - turning ambiguity into structure- saying things "directionally"- charging lunch to the code- and explaining your job to people who still think you just "make PowerPoint" Funny, painfully familiar, and just self-aware enough. This is consulting as it actually is: - not dramatic- not simple- but somehow still meaningful. And on Monday, it begins again.
