My session with Jorn was truly transformational. He creates such a safe space with his genuine empathy that I felt empowered to challenge myself and discover my authentic sales leadership style. What really impressed me was his remarkable intercultural competence. He helped me navigate international business dynamics while honoring my unique background. I'm already feeling more confident about implementation of the insights we discussed and know they will have a lasting impact on my approach.

I reached out to Steven just before my final round interview with a startup I was deeply interested in. Steven provided invaluable guidance on positioning my story, and preparing for common strategy role questions. Beyond strategic frameworks, he gave me with specific phrases that helped me stand out as a candidate. During the offer evaluation stage, Steven helped me assess the opportunity holistically - thinking through the role, product, leadership team, and culture in relation to my long-term career goals. He also coached me on asking the right critical questions to make an informed decision. As someone without startup experience, Steven's insights were incredibly valuable in navigating this new landscape. Finally during offer negotiations, Steven guided me on tactics which increased both the cash and equity portions of my compensation package!!! Steven's expertise spans the entire job search process, from interview preparation to strategic decision-making to negotiation. I couldn't have achieved this outcome without his guidance! THANK YOU!!

Jennifer brings a unique and invaluable personal touch to the process. She guided me through my applications for master's programs in marketing at various U.S. schools, and I am thrilled to share why she is SO FANTASTIC. From our very first session, Jennifer helped me brainstorm and ideate on my entire life story. She possesses a remarkable ability to find important and compelling moments in my experiences that I had previously overlooked. This process became the fundamental backbone of all my writing. We then moved on to individual essays, where she encouraged me to write a compelling narrative rather than a rigid essay, all while ensuring we addressed every key point of the prompt. Jennifer’s essay feedback goes far beyond simple grammar and proofreading. She has a keen eye for what truly matters, focusing on the emotions and themes your essay evokes for the admissions committee. Her time management and turnaround on feedback are consistently amazing—she is incredibly focused on meeting her deadlines. If you are fortunate enough to make it to the interview phase, I highly recommend doing a mock prep session with her. She is brilliant at preparing you. What truly sets Jennifer apart from other consultants is the deep, personal conviction she develops in you and your story. She is someone you can genuinely form a lifelong friendship with. This unwavering belief in her clients is her most powerful asset.

Working with Andrew has been a game-changer for me. At 60, navigating a career transition felt overwhelming, but Andrew gave me the confidence, structure, and encouragement I needed. He didn’t just polish my resume and interview skills — he helped me reframe my story in a way that feels true to who I am. Their feedback was always honest, practical, and supportive. I walked away from every session with clear next steps and renewed energy. If you’re serious about landing the right role (and not just any job), I cannot recommend Andrew enough.

Madhu is a fantastic coach! She provides actionable steps from day one. Through our sessions, I was able to connect the dots between interviewing, negotiation offer, and effective communication. Madhu brings a strategic but flexible approach that adapts to your needs. She is truly the ally you want by your side before taking that big step in your career. I highly recommend working with a coach like Madhu to build a clear pathway toward your professional or academic goals.

Highly recommended, highly motivating and highly insightful!

As a graduate student candidate multiple years removed from admissions game and weak admissions profile, I knew I needed help from someone like Joseph to apply with my best foot forward. Joseph was highly resourceful, professional and timely at every step of the way and I was able to gain admissions at several top programs. I knew how to shape my application and Joseph provided guidance for getting off the waitlist and addressing any lingering weaknesses that could toss my application into the rejected pile. I am starting at USC in the upcoming fall semester. Thanks Joseph!

There are mountains. MOUNTAINS of advice on how to game B School applications. This isn’t Ben. Ben will have you climb a different mountain: distill what is uniquely you. The benefit of that exercise extends far beyond any application. He’ll then help you communicate yourself, powerfully. He’s qualified because he’s one of the most effective communicators I’ve met. All in all, I expected my Leland experience to be transactional, but necessary. I didn’t expect my coach to be intensely interested in me, I didn’t expect to know myself better, and I didn’t expect to come away from it all with a permanent shot of confidence. Boy was I surprised. So if any of that sounds interesting and you want to put together a potent, genuine application with somebody that has your back at every step, Ben is your guy.

Kiera was super helpful and knowledgeable with casing! I loved that she was extremely practical and logical when it came to feedback, giving actionable items to work on after each session. The cases she picked were also really useful and applicable. Her coaching definitely helped me receive an offer from Bain and I would highly recommend her. She's great for people with solid casing experience but looking to reach the next level.

I started working with Ellen towards the end of my first application cycle and had no idea where to begin as I started the reapplication process. Ellen took her time to answer all my questions and guided me through the process of improving my application. Additionally, Ellen mentored me as I prepared for the CASPER exam and interviews. She was always there to remind me that I could do it and that I would be able to get into my dream school. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to support them. She is the best!
