[Currently, we are offering special discounted pricing in celebration of my company’s 25th year and my 30+ years of work as a coach. Enjoy the discounted pricing!] For over 30 years, I have served as a coach and consultant, helping over 1100 MBA and Executive MBA applicants develop their skills, accelerate their careers, and gain admission to top business schools to bring their admirable career visions to fruition. People often ask why I price much lower than other coaches. The answer: access. I strive to ensure that a broad range of applicants can benefit from outstanding consulting, and my company's motto is "Excellence at an Affordable Price." This approach has brought amazing fruit. It has been my honor over the years to help leaders equip themselves to impact the world--from a penniless doctor who attended Harvard Business School, became a billionaire, and is now disrupting the pharma industry, to the entrepreneurs who have scaled their microfinance companies and expanded their private equity firms to support high-impact projects globally. My clients have been admitted to top business schools, which include all the best schools in the United States and Europe/Britain--Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, Yale, Cornell, Tuck, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Darden, NYU, Oxford, Cambridge, INSEAD, LBS, HEC, IESE, and the list goes on! Very importantly, I strive to help make applications "scholarship-worthy," and many of my clients have earned substantial scholarships, including full-ride scholarships to Stanford Business School, Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, top EMBA scholarships, the MIT President's Scholarship, Forte Scholarships, and full-ride Consortium scholarships. My clients have come from over 83 countries on six continents—from the USA to India, China, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa, among many others. My clients have also hailed from varied entities—from multi-billion-dollar market-leading companies to unicorns, scaling entrepreneurial ventures, and pre-revenue organizations. I worked in a Harvard admissions office, in Stanford's Office of the President, as a Harvard alumni recruiter, and as Co-Leader of the Harvard Undergraduate Admissions Council. I graduated from Harvard College and Oxford University (master's and doctoral degrees). Throughout my academic journey, I earned awards for academic excellence, including the John Harvard Scholarship, and over $400,000 in other scholarships, including the Fulbright Scholarship. I leverage all this expertise to empower people to achieve their dreams. I am excellent at helping candidates with flaws in their profiles overcome their weaknesses and gain admission to schools where they otherwise may not have been accepted. If you want personalized guidance and proven strategies for submitting an outstanding application, I'm here to aid you. Please reach out to discuss how I can support you in achieving your goals.
