Fortunately, I met Abigail before my PhD interview. I had no idea what to expect. Abigail's friendly but also concrete approach helped me prepare for the interview in the best possible way and, above all, helped me overcome my nervousness.

I was skeptical of someone helping tell my story and confused/overwhelmed by all the "coaching" out there. Gosh- i still get adds for Stacey Blackman Consulting. If you're like me, still on the fence with a general distrust for "consulting," please trust me--work with Ian, He sifts through the noise and helps your best self come to light. His process strips away all the surface-level parts of you that you think you need to be, or what the world might expect you to be, only to reveal the most powerful story there is-- yours. He never tried to change who I am; instead, he provided the strategic foundation that allowed my story to actually make sense to an outside audience. He has a gift for taking raw ideas and shaping them into a narrative that is not only cohesive but significantly more impactful than what I had originally envisioned.

Melanie was an exceptional coach throughout my MBA application journey. As a CBS alumna and interviewer, she brings a rare insider perspective on how admissions committees evaluate candidates and what truly makes an application stand out. Her guidance was structured, insightful, and extremely practical. As an international applicant, I initially found it challenging to clearly articulate my story and motivations. Melanie helped me refine my narrative, connect my experiences more cohesively, and communicate my decision-making with clarity and confidence. Her feedback was always strategic and honest, and it made a meaningful difference in my interview preparation. What I appreciated most was how she challenged my thinking while remaining incredibly supportive. She pushed me to express my motivations and career decisions with greater depth, which ultimately helped me present a much stronger and more authentic profile. Beyond her professional expertise, Melanie is also a genuinely kind and generous person. I’m very grateful for her guidance throughout this process and would highly recommend her coaching services to anyone applying to top MBA programs.

Direct and concise presentation. Easy to understand.

I highly recommend working with Greg! After writing drafts for a Sustainability Masters program, I needed help getting my essays over the line. Greg approached the editing process thoughtfully, reading some of my previous writing and closely looking at my entire application to ultimately give me both constructive feedback and support to help me feel more confident. The turnaround was also quick and ahead of my timeline! I ended up getting into the program and receiving nearly $50,000 worth of scholarship. Thank you, Greg!

I had a great experience working with Geri to prep for my HBS interview! After our session, I had a clear understanding of my strengths and areas for improvement — and her feedback proved directly applicable when it counted most. I'd highly recommend Geri to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective interview support.

Abigail answered questions very clearly and thoughtfully throughout the resume review session. Her insights were practical and relevant that many of us could apply right away. I especially appreciated how openly she addressed participants’ questions and shared actionable advice throughout the session. I look forward to attending more of her sessions!

Abigail clarified so many of my doubts when it came down to the order of the section on the resume and what should and shouldn't be include. She talked about ATS and how her advice is compatible to what recruiters are looking for. 10/10! Thank you Abigail!

Xin was incredibly helpful in sharpening my case interview skills. She provided clear structure, thoughtful feedback, and practical frameworks that helped me improve both my problem-solving approach and communication during cases. I especially appreciated how she pushed my thinking while still being supportive and encouraging throughout the process. Our sessions were very efficient and focused, and I left each one with actionable ways to improve. I would highly recommend working with her for MBB case preparation.
