Jacqline is highly empathetic, empowering, and a champion for individual success. I have become a much better version of myself due to Jacqline.

Maria is an amazing designer with tons of knowledge, from great book recommendations to real-world experience. She’s always helpful, whether it’s design, visualization, or leadership tips. Her words stick with you, insightful, memorable, and truly inspiring. If you want a friendly and empathetic mentor, I totally recommend her!

She is knowledgeable, thorough, and empathetic. She makes the impossible feel manageable!

Yunting has been my mentor since college, and speaking as someone who has just made a major career switch encouraged by her, I would full-heartedly vouch for her joining the platform as a coach to guide people on their MBA applications. Yunting has accumulated great professional experience, and the insights she possesses on a wide range of industries can be very valuable to others. During our coaching sessions, she shared with me her understanding of industries such as retail, food manufacturing, and technology. The information she shares not only includes common knowledge of the markets but also her judgment and experience, making it extremely valuable for me in navigating my own career. When it comes to technical skills during coaching sessions, she has shown great empathy and has been very skillful in passing on her knowledge of application planning, essay writing, and interview prepping in a really personable and approachable way—you can tell she genuinely cares about her mentees and would like to offer guidance in the most helpful and personalized way. She is extremely good at pinpointing problems and offering actionable and solution-oriented plans to cultivate personal growth while working with me to improve my professional profile. One thing I care about the most when selecting mentors is their diverse experience—I personally appreciate being guided by someone who has gone through different life challenges and has made major pivots in their own careers. I believe Yunting is one such mentor: she has lived and thrived in different cultures, has gone through major career changes, and now has successfully become an MBA candidate for HBS. This has enabled her to become a great mentor to speak from not only success but also failure, as they both offer valuable lessons for me to learn from. I am very lucky to be one of Yunting’s mentees and I’d strongly vouch for her to get approved as a coach on Leland.

For 17 years, I've witnessed Kirsten's extraordinary ability to lead and inspire. Her two decades of transformative work in the non-profit sector, coupled with her strategic leadership and deep passion for mentorship, make her an exceptional coach. Her unique blend of strategic acumen, operational expertise, and a genuine, heartfelt desire to invest in others guarantees her clients achieve remarkable and lasting results. Beyond her professional excellence, she is a person of outstanding character. She is an ideal coach for anyone seeking to maximize their potential, and I recommend her without reservation.

Arjun is a great career advisor and coach, his experience on sustainability and business is paramount - our students are very happy with him!

Arjun has a really well established methodology for job search and the necessary support documents / communities to keep track of the process. He's also super open to have 1 on 1 sessions to guide through the process. I believe he's very precise on how to move students towards the right track

Karthik was super helpful throughout my MBA apps. He helped me tighten my story and gave great feedback. Highly recommend!

Karthik was a huge help during my MBA app process. He has a sharp eye for storytelling and helped me turn a messy draft into something I was genuinely proud of. What stood out most was how easy he was to talk to – always responsive, approachable, and honest with feedback. Would 100% recommend working with him.

Karthik was awesome to work with! Super thoughtful, always down to hop on a call, and really helped me sharpen my story. He helped me take a scattered set of experiences and turn them into a cohesive, compelling narrative for my MBA application. His feedback was clear, actionable, and always encouraging. Highly recommend working with him.
