People also say, and I take pride in, being low maintenance and very easy to work with.  

“You’re really good at putting people in places to shine and I value the way you show up for others so much.”

    "I can honestly say that I have never had so many people make a point of calling or finding me to say how much they really appreciated the program. I’ve heard stories about how they have applied lessons they learned or took a moment to think differently about a situation. I’ve been coordinating professional development for our division for a number of years and I’ve brought some wonderful speakers over time but this is truly the most positive response I’ve ever seen."

    Suzanne Sullivan McGillicuddy

    Assistant Dean of Students, Fashion Institute of New York

      Steven T. Herndon

      Assistant Dean of Students, Executive Director of Housing and Residence Life

        "Dr. Keith Edwards’ visit to our campus left us thinking and eager to learn more. His ability to connect with and engage students of all backgrounds made his presentation a valuable opportunity for our students and faculty, encouraging the tough conversations that are essential for the change we would like to see in our campus culture."

        Emily Mee

        Editor-in-Chief of Forum, University of Oklahoma

          "Coaching provided deep personal reflections and resultant actions on purpose, integration, and development in a safe, thought-provoking environment of dialogue and challenge. Dr. Edwards approach brought focus to my professional calling and enabled an understanding of integration across the complexities of faith, family, and career."

          Terry Gaalswyk, PhD
