Daphne was the perfect coach to take me through the process for applying to colleges. No one in my family had gone to prestigious schools and I try didn't know what the process entailed. Daphne helped me understand what admissions officers are looking for beyond just a high GPA and test scores. She got to know me as a person and adeptly steered me towards a story that highlighted my unique qualities. I owe a lot of my college application success to her support.

Ryan was an exceptional colleague and instrumental in refining my resume. His patience and thoroughness with his soft skills ensured it was concise and clear, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. He helped me land multiple big 4 offers as a college freshman.

Sonya is the rare kind of coach who balances deep empathy with sharp insight, and that’s exactly what makes her such a powerful guide for master’s applicants. She doesn’t just help you tell your story - she helps you understand it, surface what’s authentic and distinctive, and push it further with intentionality and heart. With dual design-oriented master’s degrees from Stanford and LSE, Sonya brings a rare depth of understanding of what top programs are actually looking for. Not just in portfolios or essays, but in the kind of thinker, collaborator, and builder they want to admit. She’s generous with her time, incredibly warm, and never sugarcoats. Her feedback is thoughtful and candid, and always in service of helping you grow. I’ve seen firsthand how many students Sonya has mentored into top-tier programs. She’s still deeply involved with the Stanford design community and brings that lived, current perspective into every conversation. Whether you’re refining a personal statement, making sense of a nontraditional background, or figuring out where you even belong, you couldn’t ask for a better partner on your journey.

Niina was instrumental in helping me obtain a full ride scholarship to business school. Her advice gave me the roadmap and confidence I needed to craft a convincing application. Once I received acceptances, she coached me on how best to approach conversations about financial aid and which stakeholders to get face time with in order to increase my visibility. I truly am grateful for her help!

There is no better truth-teller or compassionate listener than Kathryn. If you feel lost in the ethers of strategy or disconnected from your body, there is no better partner to help re-ground you. As a coach and former executive myself, Kathryn has bolstered my discernment, inner sense of authority, and helped me to take the risks I needed to take. She is the professional who professionals turn to for her wisdom and presence. Wish I could give her 999 stars.

Kathryn tells the truth you need to hear, not just the truth you want to hear. I’ve been working through challenges balancing a challenging job while going through the yuck of divorce AND trying to raise three kids. When I show up overwhelmed and full of self loathing and shame, she shows up with heart and care and reminds me who I am. When I’m questioning what to do next reflects back me but with the tough talk that I need to see that I’m letting fear and self doubt take the wheel and that I’m bolder and stronger than that. When you need a coach that is kind enough to care but bold enough to hold you to the fire, you need Kathryn.

Working with Abigail made the admissions process so much easier. I came to her with some schools I was thinking of applying to and she gave me so many tools to help me stay organized and tailor my application to each school. She went above and beyond and she is honestly incredible. I am so lucky to have found her when I did.

I was skeptical about working with a coach for job support but I was struggling and a friend really recommended talking to Alex. He was studying at Oxford when we helped me with understanding what I could do to make a big change. He was very patient and was especially helpful with getting my confidence up. He was very positive but also relatable, not too ‘fluffy’ like what I thought coaches were like. I am so glad I took up the offer to call him… thanks so much Alex!!

Abigail helped me so much with my college applications! She seriously thinks of everything!!! I am forever grateful for her!

Such an amazing coach, can't say enough good things! Fun, encouraging, but challenging, insightful... he helped me transition from a job I was unhappy with and find something new and rewarding. Thank you!
