 "Leadership had fallen into my lap, and my assessment results initially reinforced my doubts about whether I was cut out for it. Ryan helped me look beyond the scores to understand the gifts I bring and where I can grow. I began to shift my focus from trying to emulate other leaders to becoming the leader Christ created me to be. I left knowing that I don't need to be everyone's leader; I need to faithfully lead the people God has entrusted to me with love, compassion, humility, and grace. I don't need to be the most gifted speaker; I need to speak authentically."

- Nicolette VanBaalen, Founder and CEO (The VanBaalen Consulting Group)
