Testimonial
“Beth and I have been working together since January 2022 and I am very grateful for her coaching and mentorship. In the past year and a half Beth has played a crucial role in my development as a leader in higher education. I started working with Beth shortly after our College went through a transition from a decentralized to a shared services support model. This was both a challenging and exciting time for the College, and a situation that I had not yet worked through as a professional. Beth’s advice and guidance during this period has been invaluable. She helped me to navigate difficult situations, encouraged me to adopt a different perspective as needed, served as an excellent sounding board, and was a much needed empathic listener. Beth’s encouragement supported me as I worked to build my confidence in my current role and our work together has helped me immensely as I prepare for the next one. Beth is a true gem and you are very lucky to have her on your team! I will always be grateful for our work together.” – Dr. Kimberly Clark, Senior Advisor and Chief of Staff, University of Delaware
