The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths [8/18/2026] (Recording)

Join us for The Veteran MBA Playbook: A Candid Q&A on Admissions, ROI, & Career Paths, an engaging live conversation built to help service members and veterans cut through the confusion and decide whether an MBA is truly the right next move. This is not a generic admissions presentation. It is a candid, practical discussion about what an MBA can actually do for your career, how to choose the right program, and how to avoid costly mistakes before applying. Attendees will learn how to evaluate the real return on investment of an MBA, determine the best timing and program format, translate military leadership into language admissions teams and employers understand, and compare full-time, part-time, executive, and dual-degree options. The session will also explore career opportunities for veterans, school reputation, alumni networks, job placement, Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits, hidden program costs, and whether factors such as rank, MOS, or quantitative experience affect admission. Whether you are actively preparing to apply or simply wondering whether an MBA belongs in your future, this livestream will give you clearer answers, greater confidence, and direct access to professionals who understand both MBA admissions and the military-to-civilian transition. Join UVA Darden admissions leader Brett Twitty and veteran executive coach Patrick “Paddy” Weeks for a moderated Q&A on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET.

Master in Management (MiM) decision- What it is, What it takes, and What you get [10/1/2026] (Recording)

Most Master in Management (MiM) advice comes from school marketing or one stranger's forum post. This is the version I give paying clients. I did a Master in Management and have spent 8+ years in the field of strategy and finance across six countries. I have mentored clients on their Master in Management applications across the US, Europe and Asia. I have been on both sides of this decision, which means I can tell you what the brochures leave out. In 1 hour, I will cover whether you are still eligible, which is not about your age and is the question that catches most people out. How a MiM differs from an MBA and from a specialised master's, and which your situation actually calls for. Why programmes run anywhere from one to three years, and what a gap year really is. Where this degree is taught across the US and Europe, why almost no American programme is called a MiM, and how to read a ranking properly, including why most major US programmes are missing from the rankings table and why that has nothing to do with quality. What you actually do afterwards, named concretely rather than described aspirationally. What a strong CV, essay, letter and interview look like. And where AI helps you, where it quietly sinks you, and the completely honest mistake that gets applicants flagged as dishonest. This is for anyone considering a MiM in the US or Europe, whether you are a year out or midway through a shortlist. If you applied before and did not get in, come. Forty five minutes of content, then live Q&A, hands or chat. Everyone who attends gets the Profile Evaluation Workbook by email afterwards.

Resume to Interview: How to Build a Consulting Resume That Gets You in the Room [9/16/2026] (Recording)

The consulting resume is the first thing (after resumes) that determines whether you ever get to show your case skills. Most candidates underestimate it — they submit a strong resume by any normal standard and assume it'll get through. But the consulting resume is evaluated against a specific set of criteria, and what makes a resume strong for a bank or a tech company is not the same thing that makes it strong for BCG or McKinsey. As a former BCG interviewer and Ross peer coach, I have a firsthand understanding of what makes a resume interview-worthy vs. how it can miss the mark. How Consulting Firms Actually Screen Resumes -The signals firms are looking for on a first pass: impact, leadership, and trajectory, and more -Why a resume that got you your last job won't necessarily get you a consulting interview Writing Bullets That Show Impact the Way Consulting Firms Define It -The difference between describing what you did and demonstrating what you drove -How to quantify impact when your work wasn't measured in revenue or headcount -What a strong consulting resume bullet sounds like vs. the version many candidates submit What Firms Are Actually Looking For Beyond the Bullets -How to signal leadership, analytical ability, and client-facing potential through your experience, even if it might not seem obvious -How to frame extracurriculars, leadership roles, and non-work experience so they count -What to do if your GPA, school, or background puts you outside the "standard" profile — and when it matters Making Your Resume Firm-Ready Before You Submit: -A checklist grounded in what actually gets candidates to the first round -What to fix before applications open and what doesn't matter as much as you think -How to know when your resume is actually ready

MBA Application Teardown: Transform Your “Why MBA / Why Now” Essay [7/16/2026] (Recording)

Struggling with your Why MBA, Why Now essay? You are not alone. This session is the opening of a three-part MBA Application Teardown series, where I take real, anonymized application materials, tear them down the way an admissions reader would, and rebuild them into something sharper and more memorable, live and in front of you. We begin with the essay at the center of every application: the goals essay that answers why you want an MBA and why now. Across the three sessions, we rebuild the pieces that carry the most weight: your goals essay, your short answers, and your resume. Attend all three to see how a complete application comes together as one coherent story, or drop into the single session you need most. In this teardown, you will watch a generic goals essay become a specific, compelling one: • See how an essay that feels deeply personal to the writer reads as generic to an admissions officer, and exactly why. • Learn the difference between stating your ambition and making it credible and memorable. • Watch vague career goals sharpen into a clear, believable through-line of why an MBA and why now. • See how the rebuilt essay becomes the spine that every other part of your application must reinforce. This is the essay everything else hangs on. Once your goals essay is sharp, your resume, short answers, recommendations, and interviews all have a center of gravity to point toward. Getting it right is challenging because you cannot read your own goals the way a stranger will. Watching it happen to someone else's essay is a great way to see your own clearly. I have guided more than 100 applicants into every M7 program, across the top 20 in the U.S., and into leading international programs, including INSEAD, London Business School, IESE, Esade, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and more. Get the essays that everything else depends on admission-ready. Register now to claim your spot in the live teardown.

MBA Application Teardown: Transform Your Short Answers [7/30/2026] (Recording)

Most applicants underestimate their MBA short answers. Admissions committees do not. This session is part of a three-part MBA Application Teardown series, where I take real, anonymized application materials, tear them down the way an admissions reader would, and rebuild them into something sharper and more memorable, live and in front of you. In this session we turn to the part of the application most people underestimate: the short answers and small boxes that applicants rush and admissions officers read closely. Across the three sessions, we rebuild the pieces that carry the most weight: your goals essay, your short answers, and your resume. Attend all three to see how a complete application comes together as one coherent story, or drop into the single session you need most. In this teardown, you will watch throwaway short answers become quietly powerful: • See why the answers you dash off at the end carry far more weight than their word count suggests. • Watch a generic, list-like answer become specific, intentional, and memorable. • Learn how short answers either reinforce your narrative or quietly contradict it. • Recognize the small tells that mark a rushed applicant, and how to remove them. These are the questions applicants treat as filler and admissions readers treat as evidence. A single weak short answer rarely sinks an application, but a pattern of them tells a reader you did not take the details seriously. Rebuilt with intention, the same boxes become some of the most efficient places in the entire application to prove who you are, and they are easy to miss in your own work precisely because they feel minor. I have guided more than 100 applicants into every M7 program, across the top 20 in the U.S., and into leading international programs, including INSEAD, London Business School, IESE, Esade, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and more. Make the shortest pieces of your application carry real weight. Register now to claim your spot in the live teardown.

MBA Submit & Speak Part 3: The Interview Questions You Cannot Predict [10/8/2026] (Recording)

You cannot know which behavioral questions you will be asked. You can still be ready. This is the final session of the MBA Submit & Speak series. Invitations are landing, and the questions that help decide many interviews are the ones no list can anticipate. Rather than memorizing answers, we build the system that lets a small set of real stories cover a very large set of possible questions. Across the three sessions, we move from the last days before you submit to the interview that follows. Attend all three to go from deadline to interview with one continuous plan, or drop into the single session you need most. In this session, you will build the preparation that unpredictable questions require: • Build a story bank of five or six real experiences, and learn how a single experience answers several different questions depending on how you frame it. • Handle the failure question and the conflict question, where most applicants either flinch or confess too much. • Answer a situational question about something you have never done, without inventing experience you do not have. • Recover when a question lands and no story comes to mind. • Ask the questions you have for your interviewer, and close the conversation on your terms. This is where interviews are won and lost. Two applicants with the same record can walk out having told completely different stories about themselves, and the disparity is almost never talent. It is preparation of a kind most applicants never do. They are not short of question lists. They are either overwhelmed by how long those lists are and unsure where to start, or working through them one by one, writing out an answer to every question. Neither approach survives contact with a real interview. This session gives you a system that does. I have guided more than 100 applicants into every M7 program, across the top 20 in the U.S., and into leading international programs, including INSEAD, London Business School, IESE, Esade, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and more. Walk in ready for anything they ask. Register now to claim your spot.

MBA Application Teardown: Transform Your Resume [8/13/2026] (Recording)

Your MBA resume is not just a record of what you have done. It is the proof of leadership, impact, and readiness behind the story you are asking admissions committees to believe. This is the final session of a three-part MBA Application Teardown series, where I take real, anonymized application materials, tear them down the way an admissions reader would, and rebuild them into something sharper and more memorable, live and in front of you. We close with the document that should prove everything your essays claim: the MBA resume. Across the three sessions, we rebuild the pieces that carry the most weight: your goals essay, your short answers, and your resume. Attend all three to see how a complete application comes together as one coherent story, or drop into the single session you need most. In this teardown, you will watch a reformatted work resume become a true MBA resume: • See why a resume that looks finished is often quietly costing you. • Watch job-description bullets become evidence of leadership, impact, and growth. • Learn how an MBA resume differs from a professional one, and why the difference matters to an admissions reader. • See how the resume reinforces the same narrative running through your essays and short answers. This is the document applicants often spend the least time on, and admissions officers read first. With Round 1 deadlines close, it is also a fast, high-impact fix still available to you. A resume that simply lists what you did becomes a resume that shows who you are and where you are going. It is also the hardest piece to judge in your own application, because you are too close to your own work to see what a reader sees in the first ten seconds. I have guided more than 100 applicants into every M7 program, across the top 20 in the U.S., and into leading international programs, including INSEAD, London Business School, IESE, Esade, Oxford, Cambridge, NUS, and more. Turn a familiar document into a powerful application asset. Register now to claim your spot.

GMAT Quant Isn't About Math: The 4 Skills That Decide Your Quant Score [6/16/2026] (Recording)

About this event You've done hundreds of problems. You know the formulas. Your score isn't moving. Here's why: the GMAT isn't actually testing your math. The math on Quant is high school level — it has to be, because there's no calculator. What separates a 600 from a 700+ isn't more content knowledge. It's the four test-taking skills that decide how every problem unfolds: how you choose your path, how you manage time, how you handle stress, and how you maintain focus across 45 minutes. In this 60-minute session, we'll deep-dive each of those four skills using the same framework I use with my 1:1 students on Leland. You'll see live problem walkthroughs showing the difference between a 4-minute "compute the obvious thing" path and a 20-second "make your life easy" path — and you'll learn the single mental move that makes the second one feel natural. By the end, you'll have a personalized diagnostic of your own weakest skill — and a concrete 4-week plan to actually move your score. --------------------------------------- What you'll learn Why "more practice" doesn't fix the plateau — and what does The 4 Test-Taking Abilities behind every top score (Strategy / Methodology, Time Management, Stress Management, Focus) and how each one maps onto specific in-the-moment moves The one mental question to ask before every Quant problem that re-routes you from the long path to the short one The skip decision framework — when to invest, when to bank time, and how to make the call at the 1-minute mark instead of the 2-minute mark An anti-paralysis protocol for the moment you go blank on test day Your personal TTA profile via 3 live polls — including a 4-question diagnostic that tells you exactly where your prep should focus next --------------------------------------- What you'll walk away with A clear picture of your weakest skill out of the four — and why it's almost certainly the lever that will move your score the most A calibrated 4-week prep plan A short list of pattern-recognition moves you can use on your very next practice session --------------------------------------- Who this event is for - Pre-test or mid-prep MBA applicants targeting 700+ - Students who have plateaued despite putting in significant prep hours - Anyone whose mock scores consistently trail their practice scores by 5+ points - Students who have done content review and want to know what to do next This is not a content-review session. We will not cover formulas, definitions, or "how to solve a quadratic." If you're at the foundational-content stage, this event will be most useful after you've done your first content pass. --------------------------------------- Format 60 minutes, live Fully worked problems demonstrating compute-first vs. think-first approaches Open Q&A at the end --------------------------------------- About the host Josh P. is a GMAT coach on Leland who works with students across all three sections — Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights. He has developed a structured methodology for diagnosing and addressing the test-taking skills that determine scores — refined across hundreds of 1:1 students over multiple years. The four-skill framework taught in this event applies across the whole test; tonight we focus it on Quant. His students span pre-MBA candidates targeting top-10 programs, professionals returning to the test after a long gap, and applicants who have hit a plateau and need a fresh diagnostic to break through.
