I turned to Jonathan when I needed a clear strategy for my next career leap. He helped me streamline my execution and navigate the competitive landscape of the tech industry. His framework was the key factor in helping me land my current role at EAC. If you are looking for a coach who understands how to bridge the gap between where you are and a high-impact offer, Jonathan is the best in the business.

Ellie was incredible as a casing buddy when I was preparing for Bain. She gives really hyper specific feedback and she truly helped me receive my offers at MBB. Highly recommend her for anybody trying to break into MBB

I can’t recommend Ed highly enough. His guidance and well-rounded expertise have truly been transformative for me. Not only did Ed help me build confidence and capability to successfully lead a team of four direct reports, but he also equipped me with practical, high-impact business practices that I continue to apply in a fast-paced workplace (Amazon). What sets Ed apart is how insightful, actionable, and genuinely empowering his coaching is. He has a way of meeting you where you are while still pushing you to grow in meaningful, sustainable ways. The impact he’s had on my leadership style and overall professional growth has been incredible—not just in my career, but on a personal level as well. I’m deeply grateful for his support over the years. Thanks for being the real MVP, Ed!

She is the most talented and hardworking person I know. When she puts her mind to something, she will always succeed.

Jay coached me through two pivotal moments in my career over several years, and it’s hard to overstate how instrumental he was both times. He has a rare ability to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, break down exactly what you need to work on, and deliver specific, actionable feedback - all while being kind and mindful of how that feedback lands. He’s sharp, thoughtful, and truly invested in the people he works with. He’ll bend over backwards to help you succeed. One of the best people you can have in your corner.

Melanie was so helpful and instrumental in helping me articulate my story, hone my strengths, and address my weaknesses in my MBA interview so that I could get into school. She was very straightforward and clearly identified what I needed to focus on, giving me descriptive and instructive feedback so that I could improve and go through my interview process with competence. She has a very clear understanding of exactly what CBS is looking for in interviews and is able to bring that knowledge into each session. She is also such a kind individual, and I truly appreciate her help and support throughout this process.

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.

If you have the opportunity to work with Jay, I would jump at it. He is absolutely game changing when it comes to career advice -whether it be coaching for consulting interviews, a career pivot, imposter syndrome, or anything in between. Beyond being brilliant, Jay is kind, funny, and caring - such a rare combination to find. Can't recommend him enough!!

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.
