“Ricky is a consummate professional, brings breadth and depth of experience, and most of all candour to her coaching. She supports those she’s working with, while importantly, also pushing them a bit beyond their comfort zone to challenge them and lift their capabilities. Working with her was a productive and enjoyable experience.”
