Developing Your MBA Story [6/7/2026] (Recording)

Your MBA story is the most important part of your application. The best applications use the story as a foundation that guides everything - the essays, the recommendations, the interview answers, even your resume!

During this session, I will teach you how to develop a cohesive and thoughtful MBA story that will clearly explain: your background, why you need an MBA, and why you deserve to go to the school you are applying to - all in a way that will show admissions committees that you are ready for your MBA!

Master the Mindset That Keeps You Moving [9/29/2026] (Recording)

Sometimes the biggest obstacle between you and your goals isn’t knowing what to do. It’s the thoughts and mental patterns that make it harder to keep doing it. Overthinking, perfectionism, fear of failure, self doubt, and harsh self criticism can quietly influence the actions we take, the risks we avoid, and whether we continue moving forward when progress becomes difficult. In this session, we’ll explore the mental habits that can interfere with progress and practical tools for responding to them more intentionally so you can keep moving toward what matters. We’ll cover: • How thoughts influence emotions, behaviors, and the actions we take • Common mental patterns that can interfere with progress and follow-through • A practical framework for identifying and questioning unhelpful thoughts • How to reframe mental narratives that contribute to overthinking, perfectionism, or self doubt • Simple mindset practices that help you navigate setbacks and continue moving forward You’ll leave with practical tools to better manage your internal dialogue, respond more intentionally when your mind gets in the way, and continue taking meaningful action even when motivation or confidence fluctuates. This workshop is part of a 3-part goal achievement series for ambitious professionals.
