    • "I have been the executive director of a statewide nonprofit for 6 years. It was only last year that I finalized a contract. It was because of Sean’s encouragement that I ultimately sought the protections I deserve. He empowered me to successfully advocate for myself. With his guidance, I was able to secure a contract that allows me to focus entirely on my organization’s mission knowing I am secure in my job. It has been a game-changer. I feel secure, supported, and can lead with confidence. Thank you Sean."

      — Taryn Gal, Executive Director, Michigan Organization on Adolescent Sexual Health

    • "Since beginning... I've taken and passed the board agreement. I've got a contract in place as well... All thanks to this course and the tools that they've given me to succeed, I even had a board member say to me, "We've come so far." I want to say thank you to Sean."

      — Melinda Norris Mdluli, Executive Director, HEART Ministries, Inc.

    • "As the founder and Executive Director of my organization for the past eight years, I knew it was time to ask for an employment agreement. While our board of directors is great and we have built a foundation of respect, I knew I needed to protect my personal financial and family obligations in case of dismissal without cause. Sean helped me make the case, develop the language, and seal the deal. It really helps everyone. Every ED can use Sean's guidance to get these protections. It's a win-win for everyone"

      — Roz Gould Keith, Executive Director, Stand with Trans
