I have personally and professionally benefitted from Keith's amazing coaching skills. His self-reflective approach combined with his vast and diverse experience helps guide people and teams toward the questions they should be asking and eventually developing the change they want and need. He helps unlock your vision for new opportunities. His passion and experience in arts and entertainment truly differentiate his style and ability to connect with people. He is absolutely someone I want on my personal board of directors.

It’s a rare experience to be coached by someone who has both the breadth and depth of Jose Dominguez combined with sincere empathy for the challenges of growth. It’s comforting to receive guidance from someone who has not only walked your path before but understand that your path is still unique. I have had multiple coaches but Jose’s knowledge and approach has always made his coaching the most valuable.

OVER THE MOON: 50% SCHOLARSHIP TO A TOP 10 PROGRAM AS AN INDIAN MALE Background Engaging a (sub-par) consultant during the last admissions cycle had already been a bitter experience that I primarily made due to the seemingly beneficial geographical proximity (they were based in the same city as me) and undeniably 'low-cost' services (be sure to verify advertised claims). Already on the other side of 30, I felt that this time around was really going to be my last real chance at gaining admission to a Top MBA program and I didn't want to leave any stone unturned. Here's some brief background: > Indian Male > US Undergrad + First Masters (Top 30 School) > 750+ GMAT > 9 years of work-ex > Re-applicant in R1 2018 (from R2 in previous cycle) As an Indian male engineer with nine years of experience when I would start the MBA program, primarily in family business (with some entrepreneurship and startup experience, all in India), I was in an over-represented, older, and non-traditional bucket. Although I was re-applying with a much-improved GMAT score (50 points+), with 4 interviews and 3 waitlists last time around, I knew that it probably wasn't just the GMAT that needed improvement and hiring someone who knows the drill was essential in achieving my goals. Admittedly, I began my research on choosing the right consultant very late in the process (less than 2 months to go before the first R1 regular deadline), and by the time I had decided to engage Greg, the first deadline was just 5 weeks away. Consultation & Signup Although Greg technically advertises a 30-minute free consultation before sign-up, we ended up talking for almost 2 hours during that initial conversation where he really took the time to understand my situation and offer his candid opinion. He was also the first consultant who offered upfront to connect me with his previous clients (post which, during my research, I made that a requirement for even considering a consultant – and let's just say no-one was as forthcoming as Greg in making those connections). This was also a big bonus as I could actually talk about some of these connections (and subsequent connections made in their network) in my applications (in hindsight, these were strategic choices made by Greg given my specific school and career interests). We ended up speaking again to finalize our arrangement and I ultimately signed up for a Tier 2 package for 2 schools with 23 extra hours to tackle 4 additional schools. Quality, Efficiency, Precision & Personal Investment Let me say here that Greg is really efficient with his time, and although I was a little sceptical of being charged by the hour once the 2 schools in the package were over, multiple times I saw him mark less time than I expected and make major progress within a review that seemed like it would have taken at least a couple of hours. Given the limited time we had, I had numerous anxious moments throughout the process, but Greg stood right by me before each and every deadline (literally burning the midnight oil on more than one occasion if there was a delay on my part in a particular review). No matter what, Greg was always committed to ensuring that we put our best foot forward. Throughout the process, never did I feel even once that Greg just wanted to 'get it done and over with'. To the contrary, he was really personally invested in crafting my story and achieving a common goal. I doubt that an individual consultant in a larger firm (where you often have only a part-time lead consultant, and sometimes have different individuals working on different parts of your application) would have worked in a similar manner. In fact, when it came time for interview prep, Greg threw in an extra interview prep call prior to a scheduled Skype interview I had with an M7 school to ensure I was fully ready. I found him always eager to go above and beyond during the process, and I would also say he challenged me to do the same, bringing out the best in me. The quality and precision in his reviews is also remarkable. At times, it seemed impossible to be able to do exactly as he'd recommended in an essay review, but once that was done (sometimes, post a couple of iterative suggestions), the depth of his initial suggestions really shone in the final outcome. I was also amazed at how effortlessly, over the course of several reviews of my resume, he was able to shrink 2.5 pages to the standard 1, without compromising on the substance or impact in my work experiences. Summary & Endorsement Given my GMAT score and the fact that I was applying in R1, we decided to apply to 4 stretch and 2 reach schools. I got an interview invite at one of the stretch schools, a wait-list at one of the reach schools (Greg predicted this one) and an admit with a 50% SCHOLARSHIP AT A TOP 10 US PROGRAM (we were both over the moon about the $$$)!!! I can confidently say that engaging Greg for my applications was the best investment that I made during the process. The improvement in my applications from last season to this one stood out like night and day. The work we did and the brainstorming that went in to craft my story will not only hold good for a long time in my professional career, but also really helped me understand the value of my experiences thus far and aspirations going forward. I have already referred multiple MBA aspirants who worked with Greg on their R1 and R2 applications during this past admissions cycle, and will happily continue doing so in the future!

Tiara B. is a real professional and takes pride in her coaching abilities. She is phenomenal to sum it all up.

I had the pleasure of working with Barbara Anne where she excelled at leadership and managed only by necessity. As The Supervisory Lender Relations Specialist for the SBA's New Jersey District Office, one of the busiest in the country; she leveraged her strong knowledge of the complexities of the position and her adroit customer service skills to deliver several years’ worth of record loan volume, resulting in statewide economic growth. Barbara Anne is consistent, dependable and accurate in carrying out responsibilities to a successful and timely conclusion and achieving bottom line results. She demonstrates a high level of administrative competence. Additionally, she is highly regarded as a sincere, trusted and capable mentor who puts her heart into everything she does. In short, Barbara Anne is a brilliant and dedicated leader who is undoubtedly going to go far and achieve much while developing others to become good quality leaders in the process.

Stefanie has been an exceptional coach for me over the past 3+ years of working with her. The development I have been able to make personally and professionally has been lifechanging for me-- and I owe so much of my success and confidence to her mentorship. For a young professional, I cannot recommend someone like her enough. If you are someone who wants to excel quickly- incorporating Stefanie into your schedule truly makes all the difference. Overall, as a person she is also just a good human. I can't recommend her enough.

I had the privilege of working under Todd at Elevance Health / Anthem in Sales Enablement & Training and I truly admire his coaching style. Todd's ability to guide and motivate the team, while fostering a culture of collaboration and growth, has been invaluable. You consistently demonstrated patience, insight, and a clear vision, empowering each of us to reach our potential. His constructive feedback and genuine support, both now and when I worked for him, have had a lasting impact on my professional development. He is truly an exceptional leader and mentor.

Todd meets you where you are and instinctively knows how to encourage behaviors that propel you beyond your comfort zone. I had the privilege of working with Todd as his direct report after he promoted to a leadership role at Anthem. New to the team, I was just learning to find my voice. His coaching style allowed me to make my own discoveries without judgement, only guidance. Our 1:1 calls were always a refreshing reset to my day and were usually accompanied by a situational reframe that provided an actionable next step. If you are looking for long term success in your career or if you are pushing yourself to get past a hurdle or a self-imposed limitation, partnering with Todd will get you there.
