International Interview Accelerator
For building a durable interview system across a senior international search. (Preparing for one specific upcoming interview? The Global Interview Storytelling Sprint is the faster fit.) 4-Session Coaching Package for professionals with 5+ years of experience who are targeting senior roles in international or multinational companies, and who are tired of getting passed over after "fine but not great" interviews. This package is designed to transform how you present yourself in interviews. It moves beyond generic preparation to help you communicate your specific value and demonstrate the judgment that hiring managers for international roles are truly looking for. Over four structured sessions, we will build a collection of powerful, memorable stories and prepare you to adapt them effectively across different markets and interview formats. The goal is not to create a script, but to give you a system to consistently deliver answers that are confident, credible, and unforgettable. Session 1: audit of your current interview performance and story inventory Session 2: build your core narrative and story system Session 3: adapt for markets/formats (panel, case, cross-cultural) Session 4: full mock interview + negotiation groundwork.
What's included
What You Get: - Four 60-minute, 1-on-1 coaching sessions via Leland video call. - Direct, actionable feedback on your specific answers, not generic interview tips. - The Story Builder worksheet: a template for constructing new stories long after our work ends. - Your Interview Strategy Document after our final session: your core narrative, story bank, and market-adaptation notes in one place. - Leland messaging support between sessions for quick questions (responses within 48 hours, excluding weekends). How I work: My style is direct but warm, structured but flexible. I'll tell you honestly when an answer sounds generic, confusing, or forgettable and show you exactly how to fix it. I'm very comfortable working with non-native English speakers and candidates from high-context or hierarchical cultures: I help you translate your background for international hiring managers, not erase it. I'm not trying to turn you into a scripted "perfect candidate": my goal is that you sound like the most confident, thoughtful version of yourself under real interview pressure. Clients often describe our work as "like talking to a very honest friend who also happens to think like a hiring manager."

Caolan H.
100% report improved workplace communication | 20+ nationalities trained
I help ambitious professionals and teams navigate high-stakes international transitions, whether that means working across cultures, leading in a global company, or making a major move. I’ve coached executives at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. Before that, I was Global Head of Content at On, where I built and scaled the brand team across three continents and led narrative through a $10B IPO. My clients usually come to me when they are already performing at a high level, but something important is getting lost in translation: culturally, relationally, or strategically. I help them communicate clearly, build trust across difference, and make decisions with more confidence and less second-guessing. What I bring is not just frameworks, but perspective: I understand what it feels like to operate between countries, expectations, and identities. My work helps people move forward with clarity while feeling more understood, more grounded, and less alone in the process.
