I met and started working with Tina when I found myself at professional crossroads and I required coaching, mentoring and guidance.

Along came Tina and she taught me to see myself in a different and positive light, and to align personal strengths, activities and goals under a framework which indeed allowed me to break through. Thanks to her encouragement, I now engage in activities like writing, volunteering and have a new job which is a crowning achievement to our work together.

"I have known Tina for over 20 years [...] Tina is very straightforward and honest and performs an assessment of the entire person. It is not common in the industry to look one or two steps ahead. She sees everyone as a person, not a commodity! She helps her clients to realize, you deserve a seat at the table, while also providing you with the tools to ensure you succeed at the table as well! Tina’s program helped me gain additional confidence, to make the step to the C-Suite, when I was not sure I was ready for that level. She looks beyond the resume and into the real person. She is a natural leader who helps people find and fit into the space they desire. She brings people together and is a champion of people!"

It was a pleasure working with her."
