Small-Batch Boutique MBA Admissions Coaching
Designed for your MBA adventure, career and life beyond
Welcome! I’m Charli and I’m so glad you’re here.
You’re probably here because you want to get into a great business school. Maybe you’re wondering if your profile is competitive, whether your story is compelling enough, or how to make sense of a process that feels impossibly opaque.
Here’s what I know after more than a decade and a 98% success rate coaching professionals into Harvard, Stanford, and the world’s top MBA programs:
The most powerful applications don’t come from cracking a code or strategizing your way through the system. They come from candidates who have had the courage to do the deep self-reflection, who can articulate what they’ve done and why it matters, where they’re going, and what only they can bring to a room.
Discovering your story is a journey and it should be one of the most compelling and joyful you’ll ever take.
That’s the work we do together.
“Coming from a hyper-competitive background (Ivy League, investment banking, private equity), I needed someone to guide me with my process and story. Working with Charli was the best decision I made… I’m going to HBS this fall.”
— HBS Admit
Admissions expertise. Depth coaching. Real results.
I’ve spent nearly 25 years in higher education, building international partnerships across 50 countries, directing university admissions, and serving on an Ivy League MBA admissions committee. For over a decade, I’ve brought that insider perspective into private MBA coaching.
But what makes my approach different is what I bring alongside that expertise.
I’m a certified performance and Jungian coach, subjects rooted in depth psychology. That means that you’ll get so much more than someone to help you write better essays. I’m helping you understand the through-line of your own story: the choices you’ve made, the values that have shaped you, the leader you already are.
The result? Applications that are strategically sharp and genuinely, unmistakably you.
"She was my mentor, my friend, my champion, my teacher, my sponsor throughout this entire process. She taught me a new language to speak about myself, my story."
- Said Oxford Admit
Who I work with.
The high-achiever who suspects their best stories are the ones they’ve never told or discovered. The driven professional battling imposter syndrome who needs a rigorous thought partner. The person juggling a demanding career and a demanding life, trying to put their best application forward without burning out. The candidate from a non-traditional background: the unconventional path, the résumé that doesn’t fit the template, looking to gain clarity to take the ownership to step into their place.
“I came from a non-feeder school, terrible GPA, and no blue-chip companies. Despite all of this, I was admitted to CBS, Tuck, Kellogg, and Booth — with scholarships.”
— Multiple M7 Admits
If any of that sounds like you — I’ve got you.
Everything you need. Straightforward personalized frameworks. Let’s have fun!
Getting into a top MBA program requires mastering every dimension of your application. Here’s how we work through it together:
"I had a 100% hit-ratio. I was accepted into amazing schools with a Merit-based Scholarship."
-Wharton Admit
The process will likely transform you more than your admissions outcome.
When you excavate your real stories, you stop performing your application and start owning it. And that confidence doesn’t disappear after you hit submit. It stays with you through internships and recruitment and goes with you into the board room.
Students leave with offers from their dream programs. They also leave with a clearer sense of who they are, what they stand for, and how they want to lead.
“Charli knew exactly what questions to ask to help me write the most powerful and meaningful essay I’ve ever written. When I read the final draft, I couldn’t believe it was my story — everything was factual, I just had never told it that way.”
— HBS / Stanford Admit
Ready to find out what your application could really say?
Let’s talk. Book a complimentary consultation and we’ll explore where you are, where you want to go, and how to build an application that gets you there — and changes how you see yourself in the process.
"This level of person-to-person, soul-to-soul connection was really valuable."
-Columbia Admit
Come for the admit. Leave with a deeper sense of yourself and your purpose.
-
We start by building a smart, balanced school list that reflects your genuine ambitions, not just the rankings. I help you understand which programs are the right fit for your goals, your background, and your story, and how to position yourself compellingly for each.
-
Most MBA résumés read like job descriptions. Yours will read like a leadership narrative. I’ll teach you the frameworks I’ve developed over twelve years to transform your bullet points from task lists into evidence and mini-stories of real, quantifiable impact that makes admissions readers lean forward.
-
This is where the depth work invites transformation. Together, we’ll excavate the stories you didn’t know you had, find the through-line that connects your past to your future, your value drivers and the golden threads of your character, underpinning essays that reflects your voice and what sets you apart. From Stanford’s ‘What Matters Most’ to Columbia’s goals essay, I’ll coach you to craft every word with intention.
-
Great recommendations don’t happen by accident. I coach you on how to identify the right recommenders, brief them effectively, and ensure their letters reinforce your application narrative.
-
Whether you’re facing Harvard’s unconventional case-based style, the conversational formats at Darden and Duke, or Wharton’s team-based assessment, I prepare you to walk into any room with clarity and confidence. We work on your stories, your delivery, and the self-possession that comes from genuinely knowing what you want to say.
-
Funding your MBA is part of the plan from day one. I help you position for scholarship consideration from the outset and craft the materials that make the financial case for investing in you.

Our Approach to You
Coaching for the Adventure Within
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." — Carl Jung
This is the foundation of how we work. As a certified Jungian coach, I bring coaching informed by performance and depth psychology into the MBA admissions process. This means we don't just brainstorm essays, we do transformational coaching work that helps you understand who you are at your core, what drives you, and what you're genuinely meant to lead.
Through structured excavation exercises and deep reflective coaching, you'll uncover the authentic leadership narrative that's in you. We listen for what others miss, push where others hold back, and help you own your story with the kind of genuine clarity that admissions committees remember.
This is coaching for the adventure within, and it creates extraordinary outcomes in the world beyond. This deep work transforms good applications into exceptional ones, but more importantly, you'll leave with the self-knowledge, confidence, and communication skills that open doors throughout your MBA and your entire career - from interview rooms to boardrooms, from leading teams to launching ventures.
