Jennifer provided great insights when I was exploring big tech recruiting and considering a career switch into technical PM. She shared practical advice and her own experience in a way that helped me think through my options more clearly. Highly recommend her.

Hanie was incredibly helpful in helping me solidify my goals, craft my story, and develop my personal brand. Her detailed essay feedback and the care she puts into each session made her feedback truly valuable. I highly recommend her services.

Isabella was a great asset with my graduate school applications, including supporting my essay writing and resume building. I wouldn’t have gotten into my top program without her!

Matt is a natural mentor, he is someone I look up to for his passion and drive to help people. While we never had a formal "mentorship agreement", he has provided incredible insight and advice on various topics such as leadership, career decisions, and life changes. Matt is someone I lean on when I'm facing huge decisions and need honest advice. I am so grateful to have him as a mentor and friend. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking supportive and insightful mentorship.

Elizabeth has helped me prep cases for my interviews and provided tailored feedback on my strengths and weaknesses.

It's been an honor to have a mentor and coach like David, who is always willing to lend an ear and share his thoughts in a holistic manner. His responses are thoughtful and carefully measured based on the situation and the outcomes you're aiming for in your professional journey. I would like to vouch for David as a coach and professional mentor for anyone who is aiming for internal or external growth in their career.

Sissi is a tranquil yet fiery force to be reckoned with, and my life is forever changed for having worked with her. While it’s common to have people in your life who believe in you, and even those who push you to step out of your comfort zone, it’s not often that you encounter someone who also has the specific expertise and industry knowledge to help you operationalize your goals (a testament to Leland’s incredibly accurate pairing system.) I came to Leland with a unique query: how do I leverage an academic science career to build a new trajectory that enables me to work across various creative industries? I’ve struggled for years to piece together seemingly disparate interests, skills, and passions, and have often been told that I need to “choose a lane.” Sissi refuted this from the very beginning, and helped me to internalize the power that can be harnessed when you don’t pick a single lane and instead center that which aligns with your internal compass and brings you joy. From the very start, Sissi asked thought-provoking questions that helped me to dispel old beliefs and strengthen myself with new perspectives on myself and my career. Each session was optimized to make the most of every minute, and I left with pages of notes filled with both small and large strategies that I will continue to deploy in the years to come. I walk away with multiple strong resumes that highlight my skills across industries, an amazing LinkedIn profile that is optimized to drive traffic to my page, and countless strategies for creating online visibility in a rapidly changing world. I’ve found a sense of confidence in my skills and unique value proposition, and I have already seen big changes in my life as a result: namely, multiple contracts across creative industries that, even 6 months ago, I had only dreamed of being part of. I leave my coaching experience with Sissi with a newly refined mindset and approach to my career that will enable me to enact some of my wildest dreams. I have a clear path to walk, and I have the skills and resources to help me reach new heights. I will forever be grateful to have Sissi in my corner!

Matt served as my peer mentor through an on-campus college organization and was truly one of the highlights of my experience. He consistently went above and beyond—scheduling regular check-ins, offering thoughtful encouragement, and even organizing small gestures like finals-week care packages. Matt’s ability to listen with intention and support others with empathy and care is rare. I am incredibly grateful to have had him as both a mentor and a friend, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking supportive and insightful coaching.

Working with Joseph was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. His combination of strategic insight, admissions expertise, and genuine personal care helped me earn acceptances to HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Columbia. Joseph has a remarkable ability to help you shape your story in a way that feels authentic and compelling. His guidance on essays, test prep, and interview strategy consistently elevated my work and kept me focused and confident throughout the process. He is thoughtful, responsive, and truly invested in your success. I can say without hesitation that Joseph was instrumental in helping me get into my dream program, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach who is both exceptional and deeply supportive.
