About Charlene
Coaching Approach
Work Experience

Hi, I’m Charlene You—a consulting interview prep expert with 7+ years of experience as a former management consultant at Kearney and a Wharton MBA. I’ve conducted first and final-round interviews, led case workshops, and coached candidates through rigorous assessment frameworks. My background includes hands-on experience in strategic growth, go-to-market strategies, and enterprise transformations, giving me unique insight into what top firms look for in candidates.

At Prep Lounge, I help aspiring consultants craft compelling narratives, master case interviews, and sharpen their problem-solving skills. Whether it’s breaking down complex cases or refining your resume, I’m here to bridge the gap between your potential and the high bar of consulting recruiting.

Let’s turn your preparation into performance.

My Coaching Approach: Clear, Structured, and Transparent

I believe great consulting candidates aren’t just born—they’re built through deliberate practice and honest feedback. My coaching focuses on:

  • Clarity First: Breaking down complex frameworks and cases into simple, actionable steps—no jargon, just practical tools.

  • Transparent Feedback: Direct, constructive input on what’s working (and what’s not), so you know exactly where to improve.

  • Communication as a Muscle: Practicing storytelling, concision, and persuasion until they become second nature, just like in real consulting interviews.

No guesswork, no sugarcoating—just a roadmap to your best performance. Let’s get you interview-ready.
