I recently led a team of five in a two-week consulting program at my university, working on a real project for EPM Consultancy. Our task was to prepare a report to help our client maximize grant funding opportunities. This experience was my first in a leadership role, and it taught me valuable skills in team management, time management, and report creation and presentation.

As the team leader, I coordinated our efforts, scheduled team meetings and client calls, and liaised with our university's career team. I ensured that everyone in the team contributed effectively to the report, assigning tasks according to each member's skillset to ensure a high-quality outcome. Our client was pleased with the final report, finding it very helpful.
