I had a long session with Lex about career transitioning last year that has been quite impactful to my career goals. During the call, Lex asked calculated questions to draw out my aspirations including the what I want out of the short and long run arc of my career. He encourages you to be open about what you really want over the next five to ten years. We spent a bit of time on my resume and delved into specific roles to understand why I had chosen them. This helped uncover some interests that I hadn't really known I had. He focused the latter part of the call on creating an action plan with milestones and timelines that allowed me raise my ambition about what was possible. I'm currently in a finance role I really enjoy, in no small measure related to the plan we created in that session. In short if you are looking for an open-minded, thorough and empathetic guide, go with Lex!

Sanjeev was a great coach. Without much experience, I was initially quite lost and had absolutely no idea how to do a case, but fortunately Sanjeev talked me through it and guided me in the right direction. He did mock case interviews with me and gave me detailed feedback on how to make my answer more structured and MECE, how to sound more professional etc. I gradually got the hang of it and eventually got an MBB graduate offer! I am really grateful towards Sanjeev since I might not have got the offer without his help.

Working with Emily has been great. I enjoyed the thorough and detailed conversations I had with her. Emily was goal driven, structured, and encouraging!

Emily and I first crossed paths when I embarked on an internship at her innovative brand consulting agency, Her.e Designs. As a budding professional yearning to gain insights in a dynamic, high-pressure milieu, Emily proved to be an outstanding mentor. She facilitated my rapid onboarding and provided immediate, hands-on experiences that put me in direct contact with clients, exponentially developing my proficiencies in strategy, branding, and communication. Upon deciding to pursue my own design consulting agency while still in college, Emily was nothing short of instrumental. She generously extended her support, not just with words of encouragement but tangible assistance—sharing essential resources, forging key connections, and granting me access to valuable tools. Moreover, Emily's influence on my career trajectory has been pivotal. Her readiness to offer guidance, whether through answering queries during unexpected calls or through sharing resources to bolster my career growth, has been invaluable. Her wisdom, gleaned from her extensive experience, has been a compass guiding my professional decisions. If you're in search of an individual who encapsulates rapid growth, effective leadership, and superior communication skills, Emily unquestionably deserves to be at the top of your selection. Her mentorship has transformed my career, and I'm confident she'll exert the same positive influence on any client fortunate enough to have her.

Over the past year, Mario has been an invaluable Professional Leadership Coach to me as I navigated significant decisions in both my professional and personal life, including those related to business school and career transitions in management consulting. His approach is both insightful and pragmatic; by employing a framework-driven methodology and asking thought-provoking questions, he equips me with the tools to critically assess situations and find solutions. What stands out about Mario’s coaching is the nurturing environment he creates, which has encouraged me to challenge my own limiting beliefs and explore innovative approaches to problem-solving. I can’t stress enough the positive impact he’s had on my journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to unlock their full potential.

I’m grateful to have worked with and continue to work with Mario as a Personal Leadership Coach and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Mario's expertise, coaching, and advice were instrumental in helping me navigate several key life decisions. Mario's ability to ask thought-provoking questions and listen attentively created a safe space for me to explore new ideas and perspectives. With his unwavering support and tailored strategies / exercises, I gained valuable insights, resulting in both professional and personal growth as an entrepreneur. I'd recommend Mario to anyone facing consequential decisions.

I came to Prabha when I was feeling stuck updating my resume and getting prepared for what I knew would be a very rigorous interview process. Prabha literally spent HOURS working with me to update my CV into a sharp, concise format - and when that resume eventually secured an interview, she again spent hours working with me to fully prepare for each round. Prabha is that rare person who seems to have professional experience beyond her years - and it's no understatement to say that I literally would not have been able to secure my dream job without her help. I could not recommend her as a career coach enough!

I met with Emily to discuss how she has navigated the management consulting industry, achieved work/life balance, found trusted mentors, and landed professional development opportunities. She provided very helpful advice not only pertaining to her time at McKinsey but to her broader career at large. She took the time to listen to my questions and never made me feel as though I was asking something stupid or inconsequential. Her insights were thorough and helpful amid my MBB recruiting process. Thank you Emily!

As someone who is not very familiar with the ins and outs of the consulting world, the guidance that Emily has provided me has changed that. She is a very warm, welcoming individual who shared with me not only what the consulting world has to offer but how to take advantage of such opportunities. She is very easy to reach out and talk to, and has helped me hone my means of marketing myself such as reviewing my resume. She was also very supportive in a case competition held with a UChicago club, showcasing the personal investment she puts in any endeavor she’s a part of.

It was a pleasure to work with Steven as I transitioned into a product management role. Steven is an expert at strategic thinking, customer empathy, and building and executing against a product roadmap and working with him helped me supercharge the speed at which I grew in the role.
