“Beth is a skilled listener. She understands the mounting pressure on advancement leaders. She knows how philanthropy can create a sense of purpose and pride. Beth also sees that our profession can also have a dark side, namely stress, self-doubt and ultimately, burnout.
“I took on a role that pushed me so far out of my comfort zone that I was not sure if I could do it well. Beth taught me how to get calm, how to accept myself as the student that I am, and how to lead my team. Always, she asks that I question my own limiting stories, some of which can be funny. For example, I often believe that I need to know how to do everything—and that I will look stupid if I do not. But how is that possible? It looks crazy on the page, but this thought had a constricting hold on my imagination. Now, I can spot the story and put it in its place, all thanks to what I’ve learned in coaching with Beth.”
