Bob's patience is commendable. He helped my son with college essays. His tips and guidance helped my son build great essays! I would recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for help with college essays.

I’m just getting started with my career and job search and didn’t know where to begin. Mary helped me refine my resume and LinkedIn and gave me a clear starting point and strategy. Without that guidance, I would’ve been spinning my wheels with a subpar resume and wasting a lot of time. Now I know how to approach the process smarter instead of harder, which made the sessions well worth it. Thanks, Mary!

Stone supported my R2 application to Stanford GSB, and, regardless of the outcome, I'm grateful for his partnership + the honest reflection he facilitated. I first reached out during R1 with only 7 days to spare, and Stone still offered to help. When I pushed to R2, we had more time to go through several iterations, which is when I got to know him better. His key strengths - being extremely trustworthy, responsive, effortful, adaptable, and empathetic - made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Quality of Feedback Stone went above and beyond to understand my application holistically. For my "What Matters Most" essay, he followed the logical arc closely, poking holes at secondary and tertiary levels to probe deeper motivations. He also surfaced elements I'd overlooked in other parts of my application and strategically repositioned them. He knew when to enforce structure and when to let authenticity shine - for WMM, he let the narrative spring from what felt most genuine to my story, but for "Why Stanford," he recommended helpful formats. Beyond the big ideas, he had a keen eye for detail, catching typos quickly and ensuring every line was valuable. I trusted that if he OK'd something, it was ready to submit. He was also receptive to pushback and quick to adapt - when one of his ideas wouldn't further the narrative, he'd pivot to an alternative or offer guiding questions instead. Collaboration Style My favorite aspect was just how collaborative Stone was. Rather than editing lines directly, he'd leave comments like "it seems interesting that..." or "do you mean...or..." to spark reflection instead of dictating right/wrong. We worked on Google Docs, sometimes coincidentally at the same time, and he'd patiently answer my questions or reply to my comments live - despite squeezing in reviews during his work hours. He sincerely cared for me as a person and felt ownership over my work, mulling ideas on his own time and following up with incisive suggestions afterward. We exchanged WhatsApp numbers to connect more easily, and he made time for "quick" calls that lasted an hour. It was emotionally comforting to have him as a lock-step partner! Responsiveness & Commitment Stone's efficiency and reliability were remarkable. He got back to me within a day on average, often twice in a day. He provided sharp feedback on both substance and language efficiently, completing thorough reviews in 15-20 minutes. He communicated exactly when to expect feedback and delivered without fail. He was especially available around the deadline, which fell close to the holidays (!), and that was super appreciated in those final, higher-stress days. It’s been such a pleasure working with Stone! My only regret is not finding him sooner :)

Coach Jeremy is amazing! He helped me to craft my dream resume and I like how he asks me deeper questions in order to craft the best bullet point for each experiences. I enjoy working with him! Amazing communication, fast responses, and very very professional!!!

Carlos is a wonderful coach and well worth the time. I was given an insightful guide towards my career goals, my skill level, and how to improve myself as a professional. I am so glad I chose Carlos because not only was he friendly, helpful, and inspiring but he helped me understand what I need to do to move forward towards my dreams and career goals. His level of experience really helped me in understanding what I need to do to improve my skills, portfolio, and career goals. I am so excited and motivated to get going on improving myself after talking with Carlos that I feel confident in a game plan we developed together to reach my new goals. I would say choosing Carlos was the best option because he not only communicated well his feedback but was open to answering any questions I had and explaining to me various solutions to problems I was facing. His expertise really gives more value to his feedback. I really could not have had a better experience for the first time using LeLand. The only recommendation I would give is to come prepared to the meeting with questions to ask. Carlos is open to answering any questions related to your career goals. He helps create this energy of excitement for you to improve and understand how to reach those goals. With Carlos you will feel excited to begin your journey of self-improvement in your career.

I took part in her Workshop on cross-cultural communication and realized many nice facts about communication culture in countries in the world. I recommend following her workshop and coaching session to be on the right track on networking in multicultural environments, both Western and Eastern cultures.

I came across Angela through a Leland MBA event and reached out to her right away because I was immediately impressed by her knowledge, clarity, and professionalism. She was quick to respond and I officially began working with her soon after. As a first-time MBA applicant from a non-traditional background, working with Angela has been invaluable. Navigating MBA applications (especially when targeting dream schools) can feel overwhelming and she has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She helped me take a complex, unconventional background and shape it into a clear narrative that truly reflects who I am, why I’m applying, and what I bring to an MBA program. One of the things I appreciated most is her emphasis on tailoring each application thoughtfully. She helped me understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work and guided me in positioning my story differently for each school while staying authentic to my core narrative. Angela has an exceptional ability to meet you where you are, ask the right questions, and help you see your own story more confidently. She has been patient, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough in answering every question I’ve had (no matter how small) while also providing reassurance during the moments I doubted myself. If you’re a non-traditional applicant, applying for the first time, or aiming for top programs and want someone who is both strategic and deeply invested in your success, Angela is exactly who you want supporting you through the process.

Christina has in-depth and practical expertise in PM and makes every session personalised.

Even though I am further along in my career, I have been concerned that with AI and the intense job market will make it hard to compete with others to find a job. However, Breanne's coaching has provided me insights on how to navigate the job search process, which has provided me the confidence I need to apply to jobs and, especially those in industries that I had never considered. Breanne was able to ask thoughtful questions which helped surface strengths and skills that I have accumulated throughout my career that I hadn’t been presenting effectively. She also showed me how to use AI to translated complex work experience into clear, compelling language that’s easy for others to understand. She provided me actionable and concrete examples —not just advice, that I will absolutely integrate into my job search process and in making my resume and applications more polished and competitive in this tough job market.
