Meet the instructor
Mayur Jha
Course Instructor & Founder of Pegasus Academy
Mayur has worked as a consultant and course instructor with McKinsey for 7 years instructing hundreds of early-tenure consultants across Asia, Europe and North America. His core topics: Communication, Presenting, Project Management, Negotiating & Strategic thinking.
"To me teaching the next generation of young professionals has always felt exceptionally meaningful and rewarding. My memories of the rollercoaster ride of being a young professional are still very vivid. You get excited about the projects and responsibilities that you are given, only to realize, you don't even know, where to start."
"The many weeks of training you receive as a early-tenure consultant felt like a life changer and became a universal toolbox for becoming an effective business leader and unleash my potential. I jumped at the opportunity of becoming a regular instructor and also to contribute to the continuous development of McKinsey's core training programs."
I believe (and have seen living proof of hundreds of individuals), that the core business skills are teachable and that they can help everybody - who puts in the effort to learn them - harness an enormous amount of untapped potential at the work place. Give us a try!
