Bryan was instrumental in helping me gain admission to my top-choice graduate school, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support. He guided me through the entire process, reviewing my résumé, personal statement, and the letter of recommendation from my reference. Bryan was honest about the areas I needed to improve, walking me through each one and, in some cases, breaking things down in a way that was both simple and easy to understand. If you're looking to put your best foot forward in your graduate school application, you won’t regret working with Bryan. He brings real experience in the field and uses his knowledge to strengthen both you and your application. Thank you again, Bryan, for the time, effort, and dedication you invested in me and my future!

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.

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 worked with Briana for the Wharton TBD. She was helpful and communicated effectively in sharing what was needed to excel.

Did a lot of prep on my own (case books & practice cases). Started working with Steven one I knew the basics of both portions of the McKinsey case. Steven was great helping me frame my PEI responses to be excellent and took my casing from good to great. I thought our 3 sessions together helped me be perfectly confident for my first and final round interviews. The price point is perfect for candidates who have done a lot of preparation on their own and are looking for 1-3 sessions to polish and test run their skills before the big interview day!

Patrick has been a game-changer in my entrepreneurial journey. His ability to combine big-picture strategy with practical, actionable advice has helped me navigate critical decisions with confidence. In particular, his guidance around hiring and developing a high-performing team has been transformative - from refining my recruitment process to building a culture that fosters growth and accountability. Patrick doesn’t just give you answers; he equips you with the tools and frameworks to make better decisions as a leader. I’m grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any founder looking to scale with clarity and purpose.
