Defining Your Personal Narrative for MBA Applications [6/3/2026] (Recording)

GIVEAWAY DURING THE EVENT: Join for the chance to win a free seat in Leland's MBA Bootcamp! Many MBA applicants have strong experiences, but struggle to turn them into a narrative that feels clear, cohesive, and memorable. This session is for candidates who want to better define the story they’re telling across their entire application. You’ll learn how to identify the themes that connect your experiences, communicate your goals with more clarity, and build a narrative that feels authentic while aligning with what admissions teams look for. Join live to ask questions about your own application story and get guidance from an expert MBA coach who is a Chicago Booth MBA and former admissions professional. The speaker has worked closely with applicants on positioning and storytelling and will share the patterns they see across successful candidates and standout essays. Expect practical insights and feedback similar to what’s covered in 1:1 admissions coaching conversations.

Get Glowing Letters of Recommendation: Selecting and Preparing Your Recommenders [6/2/2026] (Recording)

GIVEAWAY DURING THE EVENT: Join for the chance to win a free coaching session! After this session, you'll know how to identify the right recommenders for your MBA applications and how to brief them so their letters reflect the qualities adcoms actually look for. We'll cover how to choose recommenders who can speak to leadership and growth, what context and talking points to give them, and how to handle situations where your best option is an imperfect one. Attending live means you can ask about your specific recommender situation and hear how the coach thinks through cases that don't fit the standard advice. The coach works with MBA applicants on this every cycle and brings a clear sense of what separates letters that land from letters that get skimmed.

Your MBA Application Roadmap

This is the companion deck for Leland's flagship MBA week, for the session I ran on mapping your MBA application roadmap. Given the high demand for these slides, I tried to make these available as soon as possible -- and completely free. Reach out if you're hoping to work on a roadmap for yourself, and are looking for 1:1 coaching. This is a gameplan, but working with a coach to execute on this is where we offer by far the most leverage. I hope this resource is a great kickstarter for you and gives you much better line of sight into what this process holds..
