“Beth Herman’s Coaching Skills for Leaders workshop remains one of the best professional development experiences I’ve had in my 23 years in university advancement.  Our leadership team uses the tools we learned and practiced with Beth, every day.  We have all become better leaders as we use coaching to empower our teams to identify and implement their own solutions.  Beth’s kind, thoughtful and supportive approach brings out the best in everyone.  I am grateful to have her as OUR coach!”
