Welcome to Colleague, Interrupted - the podcast version of the same Substack. I’m Cecile, and I host this podcast anonymously with a little help from AI—because otherwise, I couldn’t share all the fun work gossip and the things I can’t say in meetings. I’m a Senior Manager at a Big Four firm in Europe with over seven years of experience in management consulting. Here, you will find the podcast version of many of my posts. I share lessons learned and career advice to help you become a better version of yourself and get promoted faster—without losing your mind. If that sounds useful, subscribe!

Welcome to Consulting

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 06:31

Just joined a consulting firm? Congrats, and buckle up. In this episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I give a quick-start guide to what consulting actually involves (hint: fewer strategy breakthroughs, more slide formatting). From decoding the job to surviving your first 90 days, this is the episode I wish I had when I started.

Expect practical advice, a little tough love, and a few consulting buzzwords decoded along the way.

The guilt we carry at work

Monday, September 8, 2025 • Duration 05:58

Did you ever make a work decision that was technically right — but still felt awful? In this episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I share a story about recommending a keynote speaker… and then having to drop him. It turned into a reflection on professional guilt: how it shows up, why it sticks with us, and what it means for those of us who care a little too much. If you’ve ever lost sleep over a decision no one else remembers, this one’s for you.

Discipline isn't sexy. But it works

Friday, September 5, 2025 • Duration 07:07

Today I’m talking about discipline. It isn’t flashy. It doesn’t get applause. But it gets you promoted. In this episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I unpack why discipline has been the real driver of my career. We talk about what it actually looks like in a consulting context, how to build it even if it’s not your natural strength, and how to use it without becoming rigid or robotic.

This isn’t about waking up at 5am. It’s about delivering properly and on time — even when no one’s watching.

Thursday, September 4, 2025 • Duration 04:13

Ever stayed in a job you knew was bad for you,but couldn’t walk away from? In this episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I reflect on a line from Girl, Interrupted that hit a little too close to home. This one’s about ambition, identity, burnout… and why so many of us choose intensity, even when we know better. If you’ve ever felt both proud and exhausted by your career — I see you.

Push & kiss

Tuesday, September 2, 2025 • Duration 04:52

Ever worked with a leader who was a total nightmare? In this episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I talk about the so-called “push & kiss” leadership style — the one where someone’s intensity gets excused because they’re also charming, or effective, or just… untouchable. If you’ve ever found yourself flinching before a meeting and then laughing five minutes later, this one might hit close to home.

Ever been told to “look happier” at work? In this podcast episode of Colleague, Interrupted, I unpack a piece of feedback I’ve never heard given to a man: “You should smile more.” From resting b*tch face to the emotional labor women quietly perform every day, this one’s about the invisible expectations that still shape how how we’re judged.
