"Tod is so kind and compassionate. I appreciate how he listened and asked questions; he didn't just talk at me. One of his strengths is talking about what is going on and coaching in the moment. I have grown so much as a leader since I partnered with Integrus."

"I'm super grateful for this opportunity to work with Tod. He's challenged me to think differently and to address some personal beliefs that are holding me back, and he has given me several practical tools and action points in just the short time we've been working together. It's been a gift to have Tod in my corner!"
