Andy is a nice coach. The course he shared with us is very helpful, it gives me some idea of how to write compelling HBS and Stanford GSB essays.

I was feeling a little anxious before my scheduled eMBA interview so I reached out to Geoff to get some feedback on the prep that I had done. After hopping on a quick call to discuss some of my goals, I booked a mock interview with Geoff. Geoff was an exceptional interviewer who came very prepared to our interview. Where he really stood out though was his specific insights on how I could improve. He gave me tangible feedback on how to more clearly answer the questions, how to find opportunities within the given questions to expand on what I thought was important for the committee to know about me, and mental strategies to be myself and not clam up. After our time was up, Geofff provided me with an audio file of our mock interview which allowed me to hear myself as the interviewers would hear me. This really helped me pinpoint exact opportunities to improve myself. Geoff messaged me the day before the interview with words of encouragement and gave me an extra boost of confidence to be vulnerable yet firm during my interview. I have yet to hear back, but my goals going into the interview were to clearly articulate my atypical candidacy and feel at peace that I would clearly present everything I wanted to convey to the committee. With Geoff’s help, I can say I successfully achieved my goal. Overall, I highly recommend Geoff to anyone who is looking for a coach or mentor in eMBA prep interviews. He’s got a bunch of additional tips that I didn’t write out in this review so if you’re looking for those and personalized guidance by someone who is not only qualified but also invested in your success, you’ll need to book him!

I hired John for a mock interview and I am incredibly pleased with the time I spent with him. John was both friendly and approachable and gave me a mock interview that felt realistic and valuable. He was thoroughly engaged throughout the whole interview asked me thoughtful questions that forced me dig deeper and think introspectively about my life and my experiences. He provided me with detailed feedback on my performance, including specific areas where I excelled and areas where I could improve. If you are looking for someone to help you prepare for an interview, I highly recommend working with John!

Ben did a phenomenal job helping me brainstorm ideas about my story. Really appreciate his work on making the essay come to life in a thoughtful narrative!

Landon has an amazing, highly vital spirit that's really encouraging when you're working with him. He's also willing to consider all perspectives which is helpful when considering the right path for YOU.

I attended Sowa's What Matters Most essay workshop recently, alongside a few other prospective deferred MBA hopefuls. After a few bad experiences with other coaching services, I went in expecting a generic presentation, in which I would be told information that you could easily google in just a few minutes; however, my experience was anything but generic. Sowa's genuine desire to see her clients succeed was felt immediately, as she went out of her way to try and learn about us, despite our limited time, in an effort to supplement her workshop even further. Throughout the presentation, time and time again, Sowa provided insights into the essay drafting process, examples of successful essays, and even exercises we could do on our own time to improve our essays long after the workshop session had concluded. If you're not sure if MBA coaching is the route you want to take, I would gladly recommend Sowa's workshops as a place to get started and see if this is the right choice for you, because I'm not sure anyone could've done it much better.

I learned a ton from Landon about how to land my dream job. He’s extremely engaging and his confidence helps you feel a confidence of your own while heading out to job hunt.

I had a unique writing project for Ben. He helped me out significantly and crafted my story to express my best self.

Camden is an exceptional coach! He truly cared to understand my background and my goals. He helped me articulate my objectives and leverage my strengths to craft a compelling application. He is also a masterful wordsmith and will help you find the words to make sure your personality shines through your essays. He worked within my budget and responded promptly to all the requests. You'll be hard pressed to find a better coach.

This coach is great, serious, responsible, efficient, quick to reply to messages, high ability to revise articles, highly recommended.
