📢 “If you can hear me, clap once!” 👏 Amidst classrooms chaos, it’s an effective call and response to corral students. Can the same be said for a stampede of clients with competing deadlines and priorities? Maybe not, but Nana makes it work. Before joining BCG as an Associate in the London office, Nana Balser taught science as part of the Teach First internship program. Through the firm’s partnership with Teach for All, Nana joined BCG full-time and has gotten to connect with the large network of teachers within the firm. She says the support she received from members of the network helped make for a smooth transition. Thankfully Nana saw a parallel between the skills it took to be a consultant and the skills she’d learned from teaching. “Problem solving skills of breaking down difficult concepts into simple ideas, verbal communication when sharing these ideas in an easy-to-understand way and being adaptable and proactive when responding to a challenging or varied circumstances.” When she’s not working through problems in the board room, she prioritizes spending time with friends and family or enjoying a Pilates class.
