“The coaching is what I really appreciate. The tactical side of what I need to do has been surprisingly difficult. I really appreciate your help with the struggle of noshing through the emotional burden that comes with it. This is the professional development that I haven't done for myself. In fact, I've actively denied myself of it.”

I was just offered the position of Senior Vice Chancellor of Legal Affairs and General Counsel at a major university with over 60 campuses and a staff of 60. You are part of the process.

Your questions and insights help me develop an answer. It becomes written and then it sticks in my brain. That's who I am! That's a brand!”

There's a lot of nuance in my position, and as I look at what might come next, whether another full-time role or a board role, I really owe it to myself to do this right.”
- Elena Kraus
