⚠️QUICK DISCLAIMER ⚠️ So glad to be back with a new "Week in My Life as a Consultant" vlog!! I started off the vlog having come back from a wedding in LA, AND I traveled to Nashville for a client meeting in the middle of the week. However, so much changed in the course of a few days, so by the end of the vlog I decided to practice SOCIAL DISTANCING, which is REALLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW. Please do your part and STAY HOME (if you have the privilege and means to do so). It's not just about our individual health, but the health of those around us and beyond. I also encourage you to support local businesses, like restaurants, that are taking a big hit by limiting their operations (which is of course the right thing to do). Buying gift cards, ordering takeout, and tipping generously are some things you can do to support. Good luck, everyone! We're in this together!!

kchoi good advice ! In France, people refused to follow these basic rules and now it is going out of control ! And please realize that young folks in perfect health are also getting the hard version of the virus, and they are endding up in reanimation with liftime traumas. Starting of tomorrow, we are going in full confinment in France since people were all out in the street after first restrictions...

Hey! Kristina, how are you? Good to see your recent timeline video update. Since, as a Consultant your job is always on-the-go, most of the time away, which is travel for work. The positive side of this crisis is Technology has helped lot of companies and I believe lots of IT Professionals and Corporate to have that benefits of work-home-flexibility and go remote or work anywhere. I like how you prepare your travel arrangements and getting organized. Yes, at this time of the history and due to ongoing COVID-19, travel banned all over, seems like everyone self-quarantine indoors here in the U.S. The world's busiest city like New York is shut down. Nevertheless, I think most of us are utilizing time, hopefully being productive, staying motivated and most importantly taking self-care, or even staying in! staying in! Wow, you have nice support for your brother, as you mentioned, good luck with his food truck business though. Stay Strong & Healthy, Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! Also everyone please just stay home. I understand going to the grocery store but if you don't need to go out Don't!! Reminders: •promote social distancing! •avoid touching face and shaking hands. •disinfect properly • Wash hands for at least 20 seconds with soap before rinse. •help elderly people/neighbors if they can't go to the grocery tell them to make a list and take them their food. I live in Los Angeles and People are still out and about for no reason! It's really sad people aren't taking this seriously because it's only the beginning and it could get worse. Please keep spreading the word everyone!!

Thank you for sharing your experience as a consultant in general and as well as during this health crisis in the US. Take care and stay healthy. Also, as your friend in Mexico talked about a big event not being cancelled, I've been following the Mexican news and other reports by the government (I'm Mexican) and Mexico is not taking it seriously which is infuriating because of family members that live over there. Also, Mexico is still allowing European flights to arrive in Mexico which at this point in time seeing how the virus has spread in Europe its just a bad decision. Its awful for Mexico because the country in not even prepared to deal with the most generic diseases let alone a pandemic... Just a tip for anyone who uses planes for traveling (whether its work or vacation) please use disinfectant wipes (just like @kchoi did in this video) to clean the stuff you'll be touching during the plane, also I recommend using a mask when traveling (not just because of COVID-19) because you're most likely to get sick on a plane from being in close proximity with others for long periods of time.

Hey there. Here in Brazil people (generalizing here) are not taking it too seriously. They don't understand that the problem is not for us, young(ish) and healthy people, put elders and people with respiratory problem. I can get the virus, don't show any symptoms but spread the virus to people that are in the risk group. Well, unfortunately that'll make a lot of people pay the higher price, and then maybe(very very maybe) they'll start to give it the attention it should. Good luck and good health to all of us :)

we create both in-person and e-learning experiences and are involved in the full development (or integrate into existing workshops, conferences, etc). software for digital experiences usually depends on the client because we often try to use what makes sense/is familiar to them.

Could you please make a video on how to improve business communication skills? I do have basic English knowledge but I wish to be confident about my language skills and communicate in an attractive way. I want people to really enjoy listening to me. How can I improve my language flow and clarity?

Business majors tend to have more access/information about recruiting events and things like that, but there isn’t a specific major you need to get into consulting in general. You really just need to apply to internships, network, study for case interviews, etc! So it wouldn’t be impossible for a comms major to be a consultant, but you have to do the right extracurriculars regardless of your major. Feel free to take a look at my “How to Get Into a Top Consulting Firm” interview for a little more insight from my friend who is an ex-Bain consultant!
