"Rethinking by rewording therefore making my endeavor feel much more attainable."
"That I have preferred ways of thinking and working that, if employed, will get me to the finish line."
"Learning that I already had what I needed, but I didn't know how to organize it. Laura's approach and her fresh perspective helped me get out of my head, think out of the box, and understand that I am more than the sum of my resume."
"The key insight I gained (or was reminded of) is that although there are many tasks and projects I COULD try to accomplish myself, there are some (in this case, writing a resume) when professional help is merited. The process was fast and the final product was much better than anything I could have created myself."

"Laura was a thoughtful and supportive writing partner and coach. I had a significant block in capturing the complexity of what I do. Laura's inquisitive approach helped me identify my voice and my story. She then collaborated with me to create what I believe to be an exceptional and unique bio. Laura also assisted me in helping reframe and rewrite a scholarly paper that I had been struggling with for several years. The feedback on the paper post rewrite was that it truly captured the nature of what I was trying to convey in a meaningful way. I highly recommend Laura as a thought partner and coach." — JH 2021
"When my first major book deadline loomed, Laura Stetler was a trusted friend and advisor whom I turned to for a close read and keen edits. I asked her to look for places where I could make my writing more clear, understandable, and grammatically correct. I also asked her for a more sophisticated kind of help: flagging places where my tone was dissonant, insensitive, or dull. All of this she did with great care, thoroughness, and sensitivity. I am extremely grateful that she helped make the finished manuscript be the best it can be."
