I had an excellent experience working with Kate during my preparation for the Product role interview process at Capital One. From mini-case interviews to Power Day simulations, Kate helped me develop a clear and effective preparation strategy. What I appreciated most was her honest and constructive feedback—she never sugarcoated areas that needed improvement, which helped me grow much faster and with real direction. After every mock round, she provided precise, actionable insights and taught me how to approach even unexpected or tricky questions with confidence and structure. Her preparation framework is incredibly focused and practical. It felt less like traditional coaching and more like an intensive boot camp for product management—from fundamentals to advanced interview execution. The Capital One tiered package was absolutely worth it. Before working with Kate, I had faced setbacks in interviews with big tech companies. Through her mentorship, I transformed into a much stronger and more confident candidate. I’m genuinely grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone serious about breaking into product management or leveling up their interview performance.

Karla was very helpful in helping me curate my pitch, helping me ensure that I hit all the points in the prompt within a minute. I think I did much better during the TBD than I otherwise would have.

Christina is amazing! She was always super prepared, coming to every session having reviewed my notes, pre-reads, and goals for what I wanted to focus on. I was really impressed by how personalized her guidance was; it never felt generic or templated. She took the time to understand what I needed to demonstrate in my product management interview loop and tailored her feedback accordingly. She’s also deeply knowledgeable and gave me both strategic insights and actionable feedback that helped me feel more confident and prepared. I also really appreciated that she followed up after sessions to check in on how things had gone. Overall, she was awesome—I’d highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective coaching.

If you have an HBS interview coming up, Jonathan is your guy. About half of the questions in my actual interview were exactly the same as the ones he used in our mock session. I would recommend him to anyone preparing for the HBS application and interview. He understands the process first hand and knows exactly what you need to be aware of.

If you're aiming for the top, Claire gets results, full stop. There's no exact formula that gets you into the top schools but working with Claire is as close as you'll get. The results speak for themselves, the thing that stood out to me about working with Claire is her growing client base on who has been successful getting in the top programs, especially in recent years. She's developed an impeccable gauge for what helps applicants stand out and effectively pulls those elements of excellence out of her clients (while having fun too!). My first essay was laughable but working with Claire through 10+ drafts in an structured workplan amongst everything else required for business school applications refined my essays into something that got my foot in the door with every program I applied to. (To be updated based on results) We brainstormed so many different storylines together and her ability to pull on threads, break down themes, and resynthesize emotional narratives took my essays to the next level. I spoke with multiple perspective coaches and ended up selecting Claire after chatting with her past clients. I am happy to provide a similar positive reference for anyone else in a high pressure job with limited time and energy to dedicate towards business school applications but also aiming high. I certainly could not have put together as comprehensive and strong of an application without her help. One of the underrated aspects about working with her is how fun and friendly she is as well. She was flexible with schedules and easy to work with over text / async during an incredibly busy time. She also happened to have a fun new background in a different part of the world on each call. Applications are stressful and working Claire made it fun every step of the way, I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about achieving their goals.

Eugene was everything I could’ve asked for. He helped not just with my essays, but with finding a story that tied my whole application together. He had a great sense for what made my experiences connect and how to make that come through naturally in my writing. His feedback was thoughtful, easy to apply, and always left me feeling clearer and more confident about my application.

Working with Tyler for Wharton MBA coaching through Leland was an outstanding experience. Tyler brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, deep familiarity with Wharton’s culture as a former MBA admisisons fellow, and genuine investment in his clients’ success. He helped me translate a nontraditional background in science and entrepreneurship into a clear, compelling MBA narrative that felt authentic and well-positioned for Wharton. What sets Tyler apart is his ability to zoom out and think strategically. He helps craft how your story fits Wharton specifically—while also giving precise, actionable feedback on interview and overall application strategy. He is thoughtful, responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about what differentiates strong Wharton candidates. I would highly recommend Tyler to anyone serious about applying to Wharton or other top MBA programs, especially candidates coming from healthcare, science, or other nontraditional paths who want to articulate their impact and trajectory with confidence and clarity.

She was responsive, quick, kind, knowledgeable, helpful and wonderful. We were working on last minute things and she was there to help and was flexible with her schedule and wanted what was best, I highly recommend her.

Connor is easily the best coach or mentor I’ve worked with. He helped me completely redefine my resume and personal story, and we ran countless deep mock interviews across product, behavioural, and everything else. His gentle but direct guidance really helped me not only land interviews but also progress past competitive final-round stages and first-round screens. If you're serious about breaking into product or elite roles, Connor is the only person you want in your corner. Thanks to connor I landed my dream role as an APM @ Google!

Cathy was introduced to me by a Leland employee as one of the choices for application coach. After chatting with her and a couple other top coaches I decided to get the full package with Cathy. Best choice I’ve made for me and my future. I had major concerns on certain aspects of my profile and was not confident that I will be able to receive acceptance from the programs I was interested in since I was only open to attend top tiered schools in Europe. The timing was also quite tight for the round of applications I was aiming for. Cathy is incredibly proactive, structured and knowledgeable. She knows exactly what I needed help with and how to overcome the obstacles in order to make my application shine through. Every element was well considered and strategically aligned with my end goal. Though I’m not the perfect candidate compared to other more achieving applicants, my application was able to help me reach the final interview round, and agains all odds, I was accepted to my dream program. Thanks to Cathy and her professional capabilities and immense support, I am now prepping for the journey ahead that I have anticipated for years. Cathy is the best choice anyone could have as a coach if they are considering European based MBA programs, and I do not use “best” lightly; she’s quite literally the savior for an application with a missing piece. If I can have one suggestion for any person purchasing Cathy’s coaching services, do the full package, for multiple schools preferably to boost chances. Let Cathy hold your hand through the process and you will end up realizing how worth it it is when the confirmation letter comes through. Good luck!
