How Can I Develop the Quick Thinking & Social Skills of an MBA Grad or MBB consultants?

I’m 25F, and I admire how MBA grads & MBB consultants seem to have sharp thinking, quick responses, and great social skills. They handle situations smartly, give well-thought-out answers on the spot, and come up with solid ideas effortlessly at work. Right now, I feel like I take too much time to think before answering, and I struggle with social interactions. I know improving these skills will take time, but I want to actively work on them. For those who’ve developed these skills (or are naturally good at them), what are some practical steps I can take to: 1. Think faster and articulate ideas quickly 2. Come up with smart, relevant answers on the spot 3. Improve social intelligence and conversational skills 4. Handle different situations with confidence Would love any book recommendations, daily exercise or real-life strategies that have helped you! TIA!
