Here's what people say about working with
Yvonne T. Ryan
The Techie Leadership Coach
|
 |
"Yvonne is very approachable, which allowed me to openly express
and discuss current situations in detail with her almost immediately.
She has the ability to put herself in your shoes and look at the
problem from your viewpoint. She's able to look well beyond the
immediate solution and suggest solutions/guidelines that help you
avoid certain situations altogether. Yvonne's objectivity helped
me identify specific things I could do to address some of the challenges
I was facing - to stay the course and be open to results.
Yvonne is articulate, professional, and experienced. Her ability
to articulate situations gave me tremendous confidence as it became
very clear that she understood my view of events and circumstances.
Yvonne engenders trust through her discretion about confidential
matters. She has vast experience and has "traveled the path"
many times; this gives her an extra advantage, which she in turn
shares with her clients.
Yvonne has helped me in many ways. The most important was in how
to deal with upper management, how to manage boss's expectations,
and how to make certain that issues are communicated accurately
with appropriate urgency.
I recommend Yvonne to people like me, who are transitioning from
a technical role to a managerial role. She can identify the skills
required by a engineer to become a
good and successful manager."

"In business, Yvonne Ryan is a clear-thinker who pays a lot
of attention to quality and business ethics. She has a good understanding
of process and its practical application. Yvonne's management skills
— both with respect to people and time - are excellent. She has
an innate ability to break down complex issues into simpler concepts,
and her ability to anticipate the ramifications of actions (both
in the short-term and in the long view) gives her a unique understanding
of top-down analysis from 'big picture' to detail.
Since becoming a coach and trainer, Yvonne has focused her attention
on effectively translating and communicating these skills for the
benefit of other technical people. Her energy, her friendliness,
her genuine concern for people, and her well-developed sense of
humor make her easy to approach and fun to work with. Anyone seeking
a seasoned mentor or coach in technical management and leadership
would benefit from Yvonne's expertise. Anyone striving for an extra
edge, looking to better their own expertise and to make themselves
even more productive and valuable, will benefit from Yvonne's knowledge,
guidance and insights."

"Yvonne has a good way of leading people to see things for
themselves without having to tell them - this way it comes across
as if I made the revelations myself. This I actually did but did
not recognize it as such and it was helped along considerably with
her guidance.
She is a great person to bounce ideas off of and it helps having
that because it is non-judgmental. Then she brings these "bouncing
ideas" around and provides a framework or structure to organize
them. She also adds a [methodology to] process these thoughts. It
is good to have that kind of resource when one is putting things
together such as an action plan. She has helped me sort through
many things."
