Rebecca was one of my earliest students, back when I was just starting out. I taught her communication skills for resume writing, interview and offer negotiation.

She trusted me and kept sending me updates. What worked. What didn’t. That feedback helped me improve what I teach and shaped how I teach today. I am forever grateful for that.

But what struck me most about her was her speed.

She made decisions fast. And she acted on them even faster. No overthinking. No waiting for the “perfect” moment. She made a decision and moved. No delay. No drama.

That ability to decide and execute at lightning speed is rare.

I loved that about her from the first time we met.
