Reagan was key to my confidence and improvement as I was prepping for MBB interviews. She was always encouraging and positive, and gave me practical, actionable advice. Whether it was offering tips to improve my case math or helping me craft my personal narrative, she made an intimidating process so approachable. I would recommend her as a coach to anyone!

Great class that clearly outlined various types of PM questions that are important to prepare for, how to structure answers, and provided examples!

I really enjoyed Ben's class and found it super helpful. He was engaging and invested in all the classmates. He did a good job of balancing examples and formulas for success with on the spot introspection, brainstorming, and feedback. I feel much better about my approach to the What Matters Most essay now-- would definitely recommend to anyone looking to apply to GSB!

Chas gave a great class, and I feel infinitely better going into the process of writing my Why Stanford essay. He gave a winning template, reviewed example essays, and let the group through a brainstorming session. Definitely time well spent!

In general a really good overview to get you started on prepping for product management interviews. The "common pitfalls" callouts were really helpful.

I took Neha's class and it was so incredibly helpful. I recently started looking into PM and was trying to navigate through the process and Neha made it incredibly easy to follow. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes her time to answer your questions in depth.

Getting Sarah involved in my Tepper master’s application was one of the best decisions I made ! I reached out to Sarah for help regarding my MS application under strict timelines along with money being a constraint considering that I am an international student. I still remember my first call with her, where I had no certain plan on how I plan to approach my application, the only thing I was certain of was that the application is crucial to me and I want to do it. Sarah understood my case and took charge of the whole application. She helped me draft a plan to meet a strict timeline of ~14 days in hand and roughly 7 Essays along with 2 Recommendations to complete. For each of the essays, there were roughly 3 versions of work done to get it to final form so a total of ~27 pieces of essays to work on. Sarah has very strong judgement of what exactly needs to go in an essay. She does thorough research on school and program you are applying for and ensures that the final form of your work includes details of what school is looking for. For each Essay , she would ask me to write my version first and then review it thoroughly to provide pointers on what can be done in order to make content more meaningful. In the entire process, Sarah ensured that I stick to my authentic self and she would not compromise with my original idea; and patiently iterated until I attain the best version of the essay for the application. She is a flexible, resourceful & team player. With a strict timeline and several versions of essays to finish, she was flexible in taking up essay reviews at my convenience and made sure that they were done on time. Even though she was working from Kenya at that time, she never let time zone difference be an issue to connect . She has been quick in responding to my email and resourceful to arrange needful. She is a team player and has a good understanding of the mindset of the applicant and therefore is your buddy over being a ‘coach’ or a consultant. Sarah helped me realize my true potential and gave me confidence to approach other potential applications. Had she not motivated me throughout the process, considering the circumstance I was in, I might have given up. I recommend Sarah for all admission related needs. And specially to international students, she is passionately driven towards helping student out and therefore do not hesitate to ask.

Samantha was the best career coach I have ever worked with. I had to prep for an interview which included an Excel data analysis presentation. Samantha patiently worked with me, helping to develop my excel skills along the way. From being completely overwhelmed with data to building pivot tables—on my own!— I felt completely prepared to present based on what I l had learned to build. Samantha also asked questions that led me to gather pointed insights on the data. Additionally, I was ready for my manager interview because of how Samantha helped me develop and tighten my interview stories. I owe my promotion to Territory Manager exclusively to the help from Samantha!

I had one session with Sushmitha and it was a great one hour spent. I was not clear about how to approach management consulting roles in general and Sushmitha gave me a bird's eye view of the process. She is patient and kind to answer questions. I would highly recommend her!

I recently attended Ben's workshop on the Stanford GSB "What Matters Most" essay, and left feeling much better prepared and genuinely inspired to write. Ben provided a lot of helpful writing tips & practical advice, but I think the best takeaway for me was feeling more empowered to tell my story. I've struggled in the past to write openly about difficult life experiences/adversity, so going into the session, I was unsure about how to approach this, but reading Ben's essay (and other examples) was really, really moving and gives me the courage to write more openly about my own story. Ben is such an enthusiastic and skilled instructor, you can tell how passionate he genuinely is about writing and helping others tell their stories. The class was by far one of the most engaging Zoom things I've done in a long time! You will not regret it!
