And We Quote…

  • An incredible asset to any person, or team, wanting to quickly evolve to their next level of achievement. A thoughtful, process-oriented and articulate “coach”, she combines insight with action-orientation. Jylla’s skillful contributions significantly boosted our results; and her insightful counseling assisted our growth and productivity, as a team and as individuals. Additionally, her strong inclination to give back (to her community, her colleagues, her companies) is inspiring.

  • Dr. Foster consulted with our growing affinity group… We consulted with Dr. Foster because our group was struggling to redefine our mission, vision, and culture to make our space more welcoming and safer for our BIPOC and trans members... She recommended a process for creating short-and long-term plans for defining our group’s goals based on established organizational models. As a result of her assistance, the group was able to pivot priorities, develop a new mission and vision, and achieve more clarity on our path forward.

  • PIVOT. brought home just how uncertain life can be, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everyone's world. We did not fully grasp what other people might be experiencing unless it was our family or close friends. Vesta encountered first hand the struggles of everyday people. Understanding the severity of the situation, Vesta and her staff were on the "front line," trying to figure out how to work around COVID, she never gave up on how to assist what turned out to be 1,000's of people. Thank you to the authors, Sharon and Jylla for putting together a collection of heartfelt stories exhibiting faith, strength, courage and HOPE.

  • Many successful executives who retire, and many business owners who sell their business, find themselves, after the event, in a position of “What now?” What do I do with the rest of my life now that I have checked the financial independence “box?” Mrs. Tearte has provided the process to begin to answer that question and shows the path of using one’s time, talent and treasure into a personal legacy. As a coach and mentor to business owners, I now have a solid resource to provide to my clients/members who are searching for that doorway into the next phase of their life.
