Communication….
I learned so much…
I attended Betty’s communication training as a Budget Analyst. I needed to improve my communication style. I learned so much from her practice and her books that I’ve accepted several promotions and strive even higher.

Our workplace culture has improved…
Since our team began working with Betty, there is less tension. We are better at problem-solving together, handling problems sooner, appreciating each other, having more fun together, and avoiding the blame game.

Job search mindset…
I worked with Betty while I was looking for a job. She helped re-frame my mindset about job searching and helped turn a difficult time into a positive, learning opportunity. She gave me great guidance on areas to focus on during job interviews. I successfully landed a job, and her coaching was instrumental during that time. I highly recommend Betty for her coaching skills and the courses she offers.

This is a unique course, unlike any I have taken, and it helped me reshape my thinking about what it means to be a good in-person, remote, and now hybrid boss!
