Ian greatly helped me with my MPH application and I can say with confidence his contributions led to me getting into the program. This was all while we were both deployed and he was also working on his own MBA application at the same time.

Margaret helped me construct ideas for my essay and guided me through the long process of college admissions. She ultimately helped me get into my dream school - Yale!

If I could describe Domenick in a few words - I would say: visionary, altruistic, and tenacious. Despite his young age, he has always had a clear vision for his future in law and earnestly strived to achieve his goal whether that meant excelling academically at UVA or developing rich rapport and shaking ground on Capitol Hill this summer. Yet in his endeavors, Domenick has never stopped thinking about those around him; his peers, his family, nor his neighbors. At UVA, Domenick was a Dorm Advisor, Peer Counselor, and active organizer and public speaker. Dom’s sincere love for his community resulted in his drive to serve and in his wake Dom not only aided countless students in achieving their career/academic goals, but also helped them to see their own potential making them self sufficient in the process. Anywhere Dom goes, he elevates the space he is in through his sincerity and commitment to action. In my absolute pleasure to vouch for Dom for this coaching program. I have no doubt in my mind that he will be a great addition to the Leland platform.

I cannot recommend Dom highly enough! His support has been invaluable throughout my professional journey. From interview preparation to personal statement reviews, Dom has consistently provided comprehensive and strategic guidance that has significantly enhanced my skills and confidence. His meticulous attention to detail, ability to craft targeted practice questions, and expert coaching in delivery have been instrumental in my success. With Dom's help, I submitted my applications with complete confidence, knowing that I presented my absolute best. Dom's commitment to excellence is unmatched and you’ll have a great advocate in your corner!

Christina took a chance on me over a decade ago with zero years of HR/Recruiting experience. Over the years she has coached and mentored me, given me so much of her own knowledge, and encouraged me to the point that I am now Chief Talent Officer overseeing three multi-million dollar lines of business in a headhunting & human capital advisory firm. Without Christina's mentorship I would not be where I am today. I vouch for Christina wholeheartedly as a coach!

I was working as a research assistant at Boston University with Telli. Throughout my process of going to Boston from Turkey for my internship, she was always so supportive and caring. Alongside her contributions to my academic knowledge and experiences, she always supported me throughout my career. She is the best mentor I have ever seen. We have been in contact for 5 years and I still know that Telli is always there for me if I need anything. If I’m now doing my PhD at the University of Manchester with a full scholarship, Telli is definitely the one who supported me the most during this process both academically and motivationally. Hope she will keep brightening other students’ lives.

Throughout my recruiting journey last year, Varun was incredibly helpful. He cased me a couple of times and provided actionable feedback and steps to address my weaknesses, His communication and coaching skills were instrumental in helping me land my internship. Best of all, I gained a new friend who vouches for me.

Cecily was instrumental in helping me to revise and strengthen my MBA application essays, ultimately enabling me to clearly articulate my personal differentiators and share my authentic story. She was always thorough, thoughtful, and pointed in her recommendations. Her extensive knowledge of the nuances of essay-writing was incredibly valuable, and it is clear that her skills translate across any type of program application. I was accepted to every MBA program to which I applied and am forever grateful to Cecily for all her guidance!

Ian helped me navigate not one, but two transitions. The first was was when I left the military and was applying to MBAs, and the second was when I was exploring careers in VC and entrepreneurship. He has the ability to give specific, actionable, and thoughtful advice while tailoring it to the mentee. Thank you for your support, Ian!
