Client Feedback
"She's amazing. Engaging, interesting, informative."
"Very helpful session in providing reflection & personal goal setting. I have read a lot of articles recently about the lack of women in academics and leadership positions and I think at least one part of that is because so few of us have someone to describe the opportunity, break down the steps for how to get there, and encourage us to get on track to obtain academic promotions (e.g., keeping that "shoebox" of teaching, presentations, letters, etc.). I'm excited about looking more into her book." "I really liked this seminar on grant writing! Made it seem more doable and less scary. Makes me feel like I can do it and I can make a difference." |
