When comparing coaches, keep in mind cost per hour is not equal. In one hour of experience-backed coaching with me, you’ll get actionable story clarity that typically requires much more time elsewhere. Feel free to message me with specific coaching/package questions. Lets meet!

I'm a top global MBA admissions coach with 11yrs experience and 85% success rate to H/W/S + M7 who cares about your journey. I push you to find your why and tell it powerfully. I’m ahead of the pack—I've built AI prompting tools to complement one-on-one coaching. ->Through our conversations, I challenge you to discover your leadership voice by placing you in the "interview seat". I draw on my deep understanding of what admissions look for and what essay questions are truly asking for to help you create an authentic story and ambitious goals that stand out. Together we create a design session where we think deeply about personal and professional moments that show who you are. This leads to your strongest application, higher interview invitation rates, and admissions. -> Expertise in prompting generic ChatGPT/Anthropic AI to get non-generic admissions caliber feedback. I evolved my 1:1 coaching to include guidance on using AI effectively for clients who see it as a tool, but continue to provide traditional coaching for those who don't want it. I have developed prompts that remove the generic responses that general use AI tools provide, to make them essay specific and in your voice. Try this formula that works: Invest in 2-5 hours of quality coaching to unlock your core stories. Then use getMBA.ai to accelerate the iterative writing process—turning weeks of grunt work into days. →I work with a small group of international/US candidates each round from diverse backgrounds (tech, entrepreneurs, consultants, family business). I am available for my clients within short notice. Get started right away with intro 1-2hrs foundational call - according to my reviews, it's a worthwhile investment. -> Most clients do not have clear goal when we begin working together, but end with clear career direction - and some have started companies based on the ideas we formulated together. -> My interests: Looking to work with candidates with unique AI based goals - in particular big ideas that are not yet clear or tangible. ->Unlimited Coaching package includes additional review by a second coach (you get 2 in 1 coaches!) ->Initial trial hourly purchases will be credited when you upgrade to Unlimited Coaching package* ->Optional access to insights that mimic hundreds of successful essays via AI writing tool ->I apply my superpower as an innovator and storyteller to walk clients through a framework that helps connect the dots of past experiences and future aspirations. We get to your “aha” moment and get you excited (and less anxious) about your own fantastic and bold story - this in turn elevates your competitiveness in MBA applications and interviews. -> IG: MBAcoach ->My expertise has been featured in Poets&Quants. ->I have advised professionals across 20 countries in complex industries including tech, finance, consulting, government, healthcare, biotech, entrepreneurship, renewable energy, military, and telco. Experience spans product management, strategy, operations, analytics, finance, sales, engineering and manufacturing. Areas of less expertise: Brand management, marketing, HR. ->Experienced with top 17 MBAs worldwide: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Booth, Columbia, Tuck, Haas, Yale, NYU, UCLA, Ross, Duke, Fuqua, London Business School, Insead ->Personality traits: I recognize that applying to competitive MBAs is a serious process for you on top of a competitive full time job. I inject my naturally open and humorous personality to make the process feel a little less like work. Nimble and grounded are other core strengths, I know when to guide to create urgency and when to give you room to explore your creativity. ->Experienced with MBA, EMBA, PT MBA, & deferred admissions. ->Experienced with dual degrees MBA/MPP(A) or MBA/MA product, design, engineering, education, biotech. **See My Reactions Video to Burning MBA applicant questions **Poets&Quants Article: https://poetsandquants.com/2024/08/07/tips-to-nail-new-harvard-mba-essays/?pq-category=sbc&pq-category-2=sponsored-blogs *Note: initial up to 3 hour purchases will be credited toward upgrade to Unlimited Coaching packages

About Yvette

Hello, I am an empathetic & straightforward MBA admissions coach with 10+ years coaching amazing MBA M7 admits. Looking to work with candidates with unique AI based goals - in particular big ideas that are not yet clear or tangible. I am a first-generation college grad. I was admitted to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg and Tuck from a non feeder undergrad and varied professional experience (I did not apply to Stanford because I sought more structure). Harvard's SVMP is where I first experienced the MBA classroom. When I got serious about my journey, I secured a coach then got creative. I coordinated events with admissions officers at 25 of the top MBA programs in the US to get to know them intimately. Today, I maintain an extensive network of MBAs worldwide (US M7 + INSEAD, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge) and am a part of the MLT network, keeping my finger on the pulse of current MBA students' and alumni experiences. I have worked with Stacy Blackman, a premier MBA admissions firm, since 2014, collaborating with admissions officers who recommend me. Born in Los Angeles, I have consistently challenged global norms. My childhood in Mexico City and European travels broadened my worldview, making the globe seem more accessible. These experiences sparked my passion for mentoring and collaborating with people worldwide. My pre-MBA career included positions at prestigious corporations such as Deloitte Consulting, Fannie Mae, and UBS Investment Bank in NYC. After graduating from HBS, I moved to Dubai, where I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey. There, I co-founded a real estate services company (acquired), collaborated with a sovereign wealth fund, and launched the 'Grubhub' of the Middle East. Currently based in San Francisco, I am engaged as an Independent Technology Executive implementing AI/automation, which provides continuous real-world exposure that allows me to help clients formulate their goals.

Why do I coach?

I’ve seen how coaching changes people’s lives—and I’m fully committed to the people I work with. Their drive inspires me. For me, MBA admissions coaching is about guiding people through transformative personal and professional reflection and retelling. It’s a deeper, more personal kind of work than managing a product launch. During app season, I carve out time to work with a select group of applicants across industries and geographies. Many become long-term coaching clients and friends.
