Steven was a fantastic coach and mentor during and after the consulting interview process. He gave detailed and tactical recommendations for how to improve on both behavioral and case study aspects of the interview. He is also super knowledgeable about how to navigate and explore different interests within consulting (e.g., working abroad)!

As a PM at Linkedin, I collaborated closely with Karthik as part of running Linkedin's APM recruiting and onboarding, where we coached every entry-level PM to enter the company. Personally, Karthik coached me and improved my communication skills, especially up leveling my communication to executives we worked with. We crafted a complete revamp of the program's recruiting and onboarding, which was highly rated from incoming APMs (step-function change in APM metrics) and saw his coaching working at scale.

In my career in management consulting and global health, I've had the pleasure of working with many incredible human beings. Grant stands out among this group as an exceptional leader, manager, and coach. I worked closely with Grant at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, where we co-created CHAI's new 5-year strategy alongside senior leaders in the organization. Grant's presence, thoughtfulness, and resourcefulness made him a trusted voice in any room. He asks the right questions, naturally collaborates with stakeholders, and knows how to get hard things done. He has a voracious mind, and is constantly learning, reading, and synthesizing new information. Even more, he's always seeking to build the capacity of others - in his role as Chief of Staff at CHAI, Grant is generous with his time and expertise. He's always willing to be a sounding board, and I've seen the huge impact he's able to bring in senior-level meetings through his clarity of thought, strategic expertise, and nuanced opinions. On a personal level, I've also hugely benefitted from Grant's coaching and guidance. Grant is clearly a smart and well-accomplished person. This jumps off the page from his many rich professional experiences. What I want to make sure comes through is this: Grant is a uniquely special person who leads with both his head and his heart. He lives his life with purpose, integrity, humility, an open mind, and immense strength of character. If you're looking for a coach that embodies authentic and ethical leadership, I could not recommend Grant more highly. He's truly one of a kind.

I had the chance to work with Collyn while getting ready for my behavioral interviews, and he was super professional, dedicated, and genuinely wanted to see me succeed. Collyn gave me detailed insights, shared great examples, and offered practical tips on how to answer effectively. Their organized approach made it so much easier for me to structure my answers and highlight my experiences. Collyn also went the extra mile by setting up mock interviews that felt just like the real thing. This practice was incredibly helpful, as it got me used to the format and helped calm my nerves. The feedback they gave after each mock interview was spot-on and helped me improve.

Eric advised me for years during my MBA search. He earned my respect by telling me not to pursue my MBA initially. He had the wisdom to know it was not the right time, even though it was his job to recruit candidates like me. Years later, when the timing was right, he was influential in helping me select schools and succeed in my applications. Eric is an excellent coach.

I am Rees-Howells Yakung, a business analyst in climate finance for a consultancy in London. I am vouching for Anathi as a coach for Leland. She significantly assisted me with my application for the Schwarzman Scholarship. Despite not receiving the scholarship, her guidance and support were invaluable. Her expertise and dedication make her an excellent candidate for this role.

I can't thank Sravya enough for her help with my ACT prep and college applications. Her personalized approach to tutoring made a huge difference in my test scores, especially in science and reading. Sravya was also amazing with college essays. She guided me through the entire process, from brainstorming ideas to finalizing drafts. Her feedback was always insightful and helped me create essays that truly represented who I am. Sravya's advice on choosing the right colleges was incredibly helpful, ensuring I applied to schools that were a perfect fit for my aspirations. I highly recommend her to any student looking for comprehensive support.

Cesar helped me write essays and prepare for interviews that ultimately got me accepted into my #1 medical school (GWU). He is as well-versed in medical applications as anybody. If my son wants to go to medical school I would trust Cesar to give him the best chance at getting in. He has a valuable combination of both intellectual and interpersonal skills.
