Abby was instrumental in helping me get admits to Booth, Haas, and Fuqua. Her feedback for crafting my mba story, essay narratives, and tying to each schools values was invaluable. She was very supportive, flexible, and always listened to my feedback as we discussed ideas and edits. I highly recommend working with Abby on the mba application process!

After a long career as an entrepreneurial sales executive helping start companies grow and get acquired, I had reached a point in my career where a pause was necessary. In early 2025 the LA fires had turned one family home into a total loss and had displaced my parents from their primary residence due to smoke and ash damage. This presented itself as the right time to ease their pain, and focus on my own mental and physical well being. As those things began to demand less of my immediate attention I began thinking about what I wanted to do again for work. Having decided that fractional wasn’t right for me, I found myself struggling to get the traction I expected in a shifting market. Jonathan stepped in and changed the game. He didn’t just give advice; he identified the exact right opportunity that fit my background, made the direct connections to the hiring team, and coached me through to the finish line. If you're an executive who is stuck in the search process, Jonathan’s ability to pinpoint and secure the right role is unmatched. I have already recommended him to several former colleagues and wouldn’t blink an eye in working with him again in the future.

Cathryn has played a really meaningful role in helping me navigate some big professional turning points over the past few years. There was a time when I felt stuck in customer service work and honestly wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go next. She helped me step back, get clearer on what I actually wanted (and what I was already qualified for, even if I couldn’t see it yet), and start thinking more strategically about my career instead of staying in a rut. That shift led me to pursue roles I would have previously thought were out of reach and I now work in a senior role in Social Media. She also supported me while I was negotiating compensation for that role, which used to feel really intimidating to me. Cathryn helped me prepare for those conversations, advocate for myself more confidently, and ask for what I deserved without second-guessing myself. That experience genuinely changed how I show up in professional conversations. She’s also been incredibly helpful in working through imposter syndrome and the limiting beliefs I had about whether I was “smart enough” or capable enough to go after the kinds of roles I actually wanted. She has a way of asking the right questions that helps you see your strengths more clearly and move forward from a place of confidence instead of fear. What makes Cathryn especially impactful is that she doesn’t just support you in the moment — she helps you build the confidence and tools to keep advocating for yourself long after the conversation is over. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who’s feeling stuck, navigating a career shift, negotiating compensation, or learning how to show up more confidently at work and in life.

Jeff was a pivotal part of what got me to Harvard Business School and others. His candor, kindness, and connections made the difference when writing my essays, preparing for interviews, and finding like minded leaders. Jeff's perspective provided me a powerful sounding board for navigating trade offs and difficult decisions. I highly recommend Jeff both as a Coach and as a powerful part of my network.

I began the college application process feeling out of my depth, but Reagan helped me craft a list of schools, plan my personal statement, and edited countless supplementals. She was incredibly supportive and kind throughout the process. I will be attending Brown in the fall and could not have done it without her!

Without Ghalia’s guidance, dedication, and kindness I honestly do not think I would’ve been able to handle scholarship negotiations and commit to a law school. I met Ghalia during a student office hours session. When I told her my concerns, she was so determined to help me advocate for myself. Her kindness and willingness to help me (especially during a tight deadline) made me feel like I truly belonged in law school and I was picked for a reason. She is a great mentor coach and I cannot thank her enough!!

Ellie was instrumental in my recruitment process by helping coach me to case well prior to my interviews with Cornerstone Research, my now full-time employer. Without her patience and dedication to ensuring that I had my best foot forward, I would not have had the confidence to excel in the super day interviews.

Jeff provided exceptional professional coaching for me in the past year as I’ve navigated leaving management consulting and developing a new career path. I was extremely happy with his work, which was done in a style similar to how he does MBA and college application consulting. He helped me develop a clear structure to analyze my technical, strategic, and impact-driven strengths and experiences across each life stage and helped me develop a shortlist of roles to apply to. He has then provided interview support, conducting mock interviews and customizing his feedback as he learned more about my interview style and background. Overall, I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is interested in working with him for application or professional coaching and I would gladly work with him in any context. Jeff is highly reflective and insightful, referring back to details of my own life that I’ve forgotten are relevant, creating connections and new paths for my future that I could not have envisioned, and helping me draw out unique talents and qualities that will make me stand out in the job market. Moreover, he is a kind and easy person to work with, always staying true to his principles of inclusivity, creating space for people from all backgrounds and helping me chart a path forward that is reflective of who I am and who I want to be.

Noah ran me through multiple mock interviews in preparation for investment banking and equity research interviews. Though the interviews for those positions are a tad bit different than consulting interviews, the questions and way he coached me through how to work through answers was extremely beneficial. I ended up landing a role at Bank of America in New York, partially because the way he coached me and taught me the thought process behind what makes a great answer. I give my highest regards to him!

Forrest has been an invaluable mentor throughout my time in medical school. Early on, I was uncertain about which specialty to pursue, but he helped me clarify my priorities, both personally and professionally, which ultimately led me to choose anesthesiology, an increasingly competitive field. Recognizing the importance of research, Forrest who has an extensive publication record across multiple areas of healthcare, helped me develop my own project ideas and guided me through every step of the research and publication process. This mentorship became a major strength of my residency application. During the application cycle, he also provided detailed feedback on my personal statement and helped me prepare for interviews, ensuring I was confident and well-prepared. Thanks to his guidance and support, I recently matched into my #1 anesthesiology program. I’m incredibly grateful for his mentorship and would highly recommend him to any medical student looking to strengthen their application and find direction in their career.
