“Working with Dr. Rhoderick Ramsey was more than a delight. Being able to lean into his subject matter expertise as a learning and development consultant and a leadership coach for the benefit of my business’s community workshops, not only enhanced the aptitude of workshop and attendees but it also strengthened my own knowledge base. What I appreciate most about the collaborative work I've done with Dr. Ramsey has been how intentional, caring, yet direct his partnership is. He has a rare an incredible gift that allows his communication to truly meet his clients and stakeholders where they are at —a true embodiment of “it is better to be effective than it is to be right.”
Moreover, even once our workshop partnership concluded, Dr. Ramsey proved his commitment to his craft of strengthening leaders and building community by making sure I was included in his endeavors to expand his network, thereby enhancing my own approach to the craft.
