“Bethany is an amazing partner in professional development. During our short time together, the world has undergone significant changes, all of which have changed the ways in which universities do business. From the COVID closures to the deep discussions about race, monuments, and policing, Bethany has helped provide me with a lens to frame these issues, stressing outcome-oriented responses. I feel better prepared to work with my team to adapt and make difficult decisions, as necessary, both now and in the future. In addition, Bethany has challenged me to look within and to reflect on the ways external stimuli make me feel. She has walked with me as I’ve sought to understand myself and the scope of my capabilities.”

“In a fairly short period, Bethany helped me discover where I needed to go next and how to get there. She is amazing at listening and seems to guide from within: as if she is the smarter, more insightful, me that knows the answers and can see through my own nonsense. She was always compassionate and kind and yet managed to keep us moving toward specific goals. There were days when I heard myself say things that I had no idea I thought or felt. There were other days we worked through a specific challenge (CV reorganization, cover letter, interview) in lightning speed. I am grateful for the homework, which was always smart and fruitful, and grateful for the space and time to lay out the challenge of the day/week/decade and watch us come to new understanding in under an hour.”

“Some of Bethany's many great coaching strengths include: active listening, insightful curiosity, infectious enthusiasm, rhetorical acuity, and the commitment to client success. She is also highly knowledgeable about leadership theory and practice from a researcher's standpoint, which complement her deep experience with all aspects of academic culture and the higher education search process for administrative appointments. As I have been exploring new career opportunities and expanding my academic leadership and communications toolkit, the support Bethany has provided has been invaluable. No question is ever too big or too small! Together, we have identified a new scope of potentials that truly excite me. I feel energized, confident, and optimistic after each session.”
