“Deanna’s genuine concern for my personal success was blended with her significant expertise while guiding me through an invaluable opportunity to grow as a person and as leader. I continue to rely on the knowledge and guidance she provided me in my daily decision making process.”

“Deanna was able to quickly ascertain from our conversations some important leadership related strengths & weaknesses. Deanna’s genuine interest in my success, expertise & professionalism and friendly demeanor made it easy to trust her, enhancing our progress.”

— Deputy Forest Supervisor

“Deanna helped me find a fresh orientation about my niche in the career ecosystem, one not so easy for a scientist to discern in this country’s high-technology business culture. Her understanding of the scientist’s perspective, owing to her early career as scientist herself, plus her extensive experience on hiring panels and in other HR roles brought empirical substance to our sometimes highly exploratory conversations. ”

— Scientist, Entrepreneur

“After a difficult interview with a national science organization, I knew that I needed to make a change and do something different. Deanna really helped me encapsulate my years of work experience into discrete points that I could emphasize during my interview and seminar. A traditional “science seminar” did not capture all that I was bringing to the table, and how we organized it truly reflected who I am and what I could do for the institution. I’m happy to say that it all worked out and here I am in my new position! Thanks again.”

— University Science Director

“For the first time in my life, I discussed personal issues with someone, dealt with the insecurities and doubts of an extremely introverted personality, and trusted her to keep the conversations private. She did not attempt to sway me toward any direction or goal but rather encouraged me to work my way down my own path. I never doubted the confidentiality of the arrangement, and she has never given me reason to regret my trust in her.”
