Change is one of the few constants everyone can expect in their lives. And today, the largest change everyone has experienced or is possibly about to experience is “career transition.” It’s important to get prepared by knowing who you are, what you most/least enjoy doing, where you see yourself doing it, what financial considerations are ideal, and the true value you will bring to your next employer or your own business before you begin to “hit the ground running” toward your next opportunity. Although the market is tight, there are opportunities to be had. It’s time to devise your game plan and put your best foot forward!

“I wanted to attend a top business school; but, I was nervous. The competition is so tough that there is very little room for error. LEEDS Coaching showed me where I was getting my point across and where I was not. They coached me through the process of writing essays. As a result, I got admitted to one of the top business schools with a scholarship.”

Ross School of Business MBA, 2006

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Claudia Sampson, Senior Managing Partner of LEEDS Coaching, as an MBA consultant. Ms. Sampson has a proven track record and will serve as a rich resource to MANY prospective MBA candidates. The use of the word many is intentional because if you are looking for someone to write your essays and complete your applications for you then Ms. Sampson is not the right MBA consultant for you. Conversely, if you are willing to work hard, take the process seriously, and own your MBA application process then Claudia Sampson is the ideal consultant to help you achieve your business school admissions goal.

"My applications were a disaster. I had no idea what I wanted to study in college or what I wanted to do when I graduated. My coach spent time talking with me to help me figure out what I subjects I really enjoyed and how to use this information to select the best colleges for me. My coach then helped me outline and focus my essays, so that my essays reflected who I am."

Bethune-Cookman College, 2010
