“Pegotty put me on an upward career path. I am now executive director of a large, national professional organization that combines my love of history with my skills in association management. I have Pegotty to thank for her advice to “follow my dreams and my heart” and build on my personal strengths.”
“As I started thinking about the next chapter for my career, she helped bring clarity to the chaos of thoughts and emotions; from understanding my ‘why’ to building out my dream, Pegotty has been my constant companion on my road to discovery. Pegotty is a careful listener, generous with her experience and resources, and an invaluable and collaborative thinking partner. She helped build my confidence as a leader during our years of working together.”
“I am happy to say that three months later I have started at a great new job. In addition to helping me formulate an organized and intentional approach to the job search (and stay positive throughout), Pegotty also connected me to her considerable network of association professionals. My new job came directly from Pegotty’s circle of contacts.”
