Nick does a great job at targeting the root causes of good performance. While many people focus on what to say or which mannerisms to use, Nick highlights that the best way to succeed in a high pressure situation is to build confidence through meaningful practice and not cutting corners. For example, some coaches will simply provide the “most common types of graphs seen in interviews” and encourage candidates to memorize responses for each. Nick worked with me to identify the type of thinking that graphs and charts require, my strengths and weaknesses with that type of thinking, and then how I could internally develop those skills to be able to answer any graph/chart question because I was capable, not because I had memorized something. Nothing can replace the confidence that comes from not cutting corners and knowing you’ve worked to develop critical thinking skills, instead of just memorizing interview “hacks and tricks.” Nick’s advice here was critical in helping me land an offer.

Erika is one of the most well connected and highly regarded people that I know. She’s been an incredible mentor not only to myself but to so many others. She’s empathetic and capable. If you’re considering her as your coach, don’t hesitate!

Derek has been a friend for many years, and I’ve always valued his opinion. He is very logical and invested in helping those around him grow and succeed. Derek’s experience in some of the world’s largest and most valuable organizations, as well as smaller startups gives him a unique perspective that has helped me navigate a non-linear career path to find work that is meaningful to me. I’ve also appreciated his help and perspective as someone who attended Kellogg business school and studied a breadth of subjects that round out his understanding of business. His kind and honest nature make Derek an ideal mentor to anyone seeking help or coaching.

Nick is one of those people who truly lift everyone around them. He was one of the first people who actually believed in me. He told me that my goals were achievable and helped me lay out a step by step plan for exactly how I was going to break into consulting. As I look back on my career, there is a clear shift in when I started to figure out what I should do and how to actually do it. That turning point can definitely be traced back in large part to the coaching and mentorship I received from Nick. I'll be forever grateful for his casing, consulting, and life advice. He is also the single greatest mind at structuring that I've personally met. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Taylor H. is an incredible resource for all things consulting. He knows the ins and outs of casing, from structuring and brainstorming to market sizing and quant. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to learn from Taylor. He's also been an awesome resource for cover letters, resumes, and interview prep. Each interaction with Taylor is a positive experience that leaves me wanting to learn more and be better prepared for the consulting world. I look up to Taylor as a coach, mentor, consulting resource, and (mostly importantly) friend and will forever be grateful for his help in this process. Taylor is definitely someone you want in your corner.

Having Lucas as your MBA admissions consultant is a decision that will add unparalleled value to your application’s potential for success. From the outset, Lucas takes the initiative to delve deep into your personal and professional background, not just as a consultant but as a storyteller who understands the essence of sharing experiences. His approach is far from generic; it’s a personalized journey where he meticulously helps craft your story, ensuring that it resonates with who you truly are and highlights your unique strengths. In the age of generative AI and highly competitive applicants, having a personal champion in your corner with these abilities is critical to gaining an edge. I networked with 100+ MBAs from top schools and worked with another MBA consultant, but it was Lucas’s genuine care that made things finally click. What sets Lucas apart is his commitment to bringing a personal touch to every aspect of the application process. He doesn’t just edit essays; he embarks on a journey to understand your aspirations, challenges, and the nuances that make you unique. His ability to put you at ease and dive deep into your life and goals enables him to provide a strategic approach to the grad school application process. As a first-generation student from a nontraditional background, I had severe imposter syndrome. Lucas’s example of success and personal experience enabled him to relate to the challenges where many others couldn’t. His passion for bringing others up helped reinforce my commitment to getting into a top program. Lucas’s role transcends that of a traditional consultant. He becomes an inspirational voice, a beacon of hope during moments of doubt, empowering you to see and articulate the value in your experiences in an attractive, actionable, and galvanizing way to admissions committees. I'm grateful for Lucas's help and hope you have the chance to benefit from his skills. Cheers!

Jason coached me on exactly what I needed to study for my product execution and design interviews. I read Cracking the PM Interview but was still failing most of my interviews. Jason explained that the book was written over 10 years and ago and most of the info there is outdated! There is so much inaccurate info online on how to prepare for PM interviews but Jason knew what was useful and coached me on the things I needed. Ended up getting a PM internship with Microsoft that I'm not sure I would have gotten without prepping with Jason!

Working with Avi was truly the best experience I could have asked for. From our initial meeting with my family and I to the very last school I submitted an application to, he truly cared about making my college application process as smooth as possible. Avi spent many hours a week working with me in-depth by setting up a number of meetings to discuss my ideas and bring them to fruition and sitting through countless rounds of edits on my essays until we found them to be just right. He inspired me to think beyond the limits I had set for myself and truly cared about what I had to say. I will forever appreciate his ability to fit in editing my essays no matter how last minute I sent them to him. He truly made sure that I loved every piece of writing I submitted and that each essay uncovered a new and untold part of my journey. Beyond that, he valued and incorporated the perspectives that my family had to share about me. They appreciated this greatly and we are all so wholeheartedly thankful that I had the opportunity to not only work with him, but learn and grow as a writer and a thinker under his tutelage. If there is one thing I would focus on that differentiates Avi from other counselors, it would have to be his ability to craft a story. He carefully took my anecdotes, accomplishments, and thoughts and turned them into one masterpiece after another. He was able to connect various aspects of my life and bring them together in a way that spoke to any reader. I am so beyond grateful that I had Avi by my side during an incredibly stressful and time consuming process in my senior year. He made sure that I stayed on top of my applications while still respecting when and how I worked best. I could not have done it all without him and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful college counselor.​

Zeeshawn is a great tutor, who consistently demonstrated a helpful learning space. Any question I missed he explained in great detail and made sure to supplement with similar practice problems to reinforce the concepts. He always fully understood my needs as a student and catered to them. I highly recommend Zeeshawn.

Erika is fully invested in the lives of those she interacts with. Her deep interest and passion for enabling others in their life and career journey is second to none. I've been on the receiving end of countless coaching and mentorship conversations with Erika and as a result, I have been able to reach goals far beyond what I originally expected because of her. She has been an invaluable friend and resource for over 10 years now - through undergrad coaching, to professional development, and now MBA coaching. I would trust Erika with anything. She is as loyal, committed, and smart as anyone you'll find, and she has a ton of fun while helping you crush it in life. Would highly recommend Erika as a coach (and personal champion)!
