Ready for a career move?

After years of not being able to find my career direction, Susan was instrumental in my decision to enter the field of city and regional planning. Her compassionate, insightful, knowledgeable counseling made a big difference at every step along the way. I’ve worked with a lot of consultants, and I’ve done a lot of consulting myself.  I have developed a way to evaluate any kind of helping professional. I simply ask myself two questions after each meeting: 1) Did I come out of the meeting with new knowledge that I could act on? 2) Did I come out of the meeting feeling more encouraged about my project than when I went in? Susan has always passed both tests with flying colors, at every single meeting. I would recommend her highly! -David Schecter
