Coaching
Ruth was a critical component of my successful jump from a career in government to the private sector. Her knowledge of both sectors allowed us to work together to develop the tools to target specific positions in my desired industry, submit well crafted packages, and then prepare for interviews. The result was a position with a salary significantly beyond what I was targeting. I highly recommend Ruth and her expertise." - Bradley J., PhD. - Coaching Client -

“Mentoring Circles are artfully facilitated to strike the just-right balance between structured and unstructured time. By this, I mean that I feel like we cover certain important agenda topics, but that we are also allowed plenty of space to explore, reflect, discuss and share in an organic way. I know this balance is not an easy thing to accomplish - the sessions are not so busy and jam-packed with information, and on the flip-side, they are not a free-for-all for open sharing and unproductive dialog. To me they have been a just right blend in the middle, and a very valuable use of my time.” - A.P. Mentoring Circle Participant -
