The story behind CHQ

I built CHQ around a simple idea: consulting shouldn’t be difficult to navigate alone.

I started CHQ after seeing the same problem again and again: there is plenty of information about consulting, but much less guidance on how to actually navigate the journey.

At first, that meant helping people break in — understanding the industry, strengthening their CVs, preparing for interviews and learning from consultants who had already gone through the process. But over time, it became clear that the questions don’t stop once you get the offer. They simply change.

How do I become better at the job? How do I approach a problem I’ve never seen before? Who can I speak to when I need expertise outside my own? And eventually — what do I want to do after consulting?

That’s what CHQ is becoming today: a network of people, knowledge and support built around the entire consulting journey — from trying to break in, to growing within consulting, to figuring out what comes next.

The method

You don’t need to know exactly what support you need. That’s where we start.

01 · Tell us where you are

Start with a conversation

Breaking in, already consulting, or thinking about what's next? Tell us where you are, what you're trying to figure out, and where you're currently stuck.

02 · We understand what you need

Define the right support

Sometimes you need coaching. Sometimes you need an industry expert. Sometimes you simply need 30 minutes with someone who's been exactly where you are. We'll help figure out what makes the most sense.

03 · We connect you

Meet the right person

We'll match you with someone from our network based on what you actually need — whether that's a practising consultant, an industry SME, or someone who's already made the career move you're considering.

04 · You take it from there

Move forward with clarity

One conversation, several sessions, or continued support — there's no fixed journey. You get what you need, when you need it.
