Core Values: Your College Essay Superpower [6/19/2026] (Recording)

What makes a college essay truly unforgettable? More often than not, it comes down to one thing: a clear sense of the applicant's core values. As someone who has coached 150+ college applicants—with clients admitted to all 8 Ivy League schools, Stanford, UChicago, and more—I know that students who understand their core values write stronger essays, build more cohesive applications, and approach the process with greater confidence. In this webinar, I'll show you what core values actually are (and what they're not). We'll explore why they matter across your entire application (not just your personal statement), and how to identify and use yours to write college essays that only you could have written. Whether you're working on your personal statement, UC PIQs, or supplemental essays, this webinar will give you the tools to make every essay feel unmistakably yours.

Build Confidence Before You Feel Ready [8/18/2026] (Recording)

The truth is that confidence is often the result of action, not the prerequisite for it. In this workshop, I'll share a practical framework for understanding how confidence is built and the simple habits that help strengthen it over time. What We'll Cover: - Why waiting to "feel confident" often keeps us stuck - The Confidence Loop: a practical framework for building confidence through action - The three building blocks of confidence: Clarity, Courage, and Evidence - Simple practices to strengthen confidence in your career and everyday life - How to create lasting momentum by taking small, consistent steps forward You'll leave with a practical framework and actionable tools to help you build greater confidence, trust yourself more deeply, and move forward even when you don't feel completely ready.
