MBA Recommender Playbook: Get Powerful, Personalized Letters
This package gives you a step-by-step, high-touch strategy for managing the MBA recommendation process with clarity, confidence, and structure, so your letters speak powerfully to who you are and elevate your entire application. We’ll work together to: - Identify the right recommenders (if you’re still deciding) - Develop a personalized “Recommender Strategy Packet” for each recommender, including: your key stories and clear guidance for how to answer each school’s questions - Provide templates for outreach, including: how to ask for a recommendation in a compelling way, how to structure your follow-ups and timeline You'll walk away with two complete recommendation packets, ready to send to your recommenders, plus the confidence that you’re setting them (and yourself) up for success.
What's included
For the best results, I recommend upgrading to a 2–4 session coaching bundle, which includes: 1. Intro Session (45 min) We’ll walk through your goals, school list, and recommender dynamics. I’ll guide you on how to identify the right stories and map them to key leadership traits. 2. Review + Deep Dive Session (60 min-120 min) After you draft your story bullets, we’ll meet to refine your content, strengthen framing, and ensure your packets tell a cohesive, authentic story. 3. Final Format & Outreach Session (30–45 min) We’ll finalize the packet structure, polish tone and language, and prep your recommender outreach emails. You’ll leave with everything ready to send. My coaching style is collaborative, strategic, and structured. I’ll help you zoom out to clarify your big-picture narrative — then zoom in to craft sharp, actionable materials. Whether you’re working async or live, I’ll guide you to elevate your recommenders’ voices so they advocate for you with impact.
