“Wendy earned my trust from the very first session by listening deeply to understand who I was and the leader I wanted to become. She helped me appreciate my strengths and face my weaknesses with radical candor and acceptance. This was only possible because of how Wendy approached my development - with enough care to challenge me directly. As our relationship grew she introduced insights and examples from multiple disciplines. We spent one session entirely on improv theater exercises in status. It was through experiences like these that she enriched my view of coaching, learning and development. In his book, Principles, Ray Dalio describes "shapers" as people who are able to come up with unique and valuable visions and build them out beautifully, typically over the doubts of others. I believe Wendy has this ability and is generously focused on giving it to others. If you're committed to making the next big leap in your development, I highly recommend working with Wendy.”

Here's how you can use emotional intelligence to navigate and adapt to different interview styles.
It's showtime! Your resume made it through the maze. You're in. So now what? Be PREPARED! Know the company, the role, why you're a great fit and what matters most about this opportunity. Summon your courage, your focus and confidence to articulate the specific value, expertise and skill you bring to the table. And in your pocket is the assurance that you're an asset to any team because you have heart, a great work ethic and a collaborative spirit. Have a REAL conversation. Make a CONNECTION by asking smart questions. Learn something about them and mirror (DON'T mimic) their energy to create alignment. Weave in a great narrative that makes an unforgettable point about who you are. And follow up with a genuine thank you that hits home.
