In this episode, I sat down with Meribeth Banaschik, Equity Partner at EY Germany in Forensics and the EMEIA Chief Innovation Officer, to discuss the power of internal networks in consulting.

Meribeth shares how a simple question—“What’s your stress level?”—has helped her build lasting trust with senior colleagues, reduce team friction, and spark strategic collaboration. From leveraging cross-rank networks to mentoring the next generation, Meribeth outlines the mindset and habits that turn connection into real influence.
