Beth has radar. She always seems to know who is wobbling in a decaying orbit and who has the latent energy to take off like a rocket.
Senior IT Executive
Charles Schwab & Co, Inc
Beth truly understands that each leader is unique, facing unique business challenges, and operating in a unique corporate culture; and thus a one-size-fits all approach to executive development is useless.
Practical and action-oriented, diplomatic yet direct, Beth resonates with the leaders she coaches and inspires them to improve. I often hear from people she has coached that she is the first person to offer them true and useful feedback.

Beth Summers has an uncanny ability to size up a problem, cut to the heart of it, and offer actionable advice. I have been referring people and organizations to her for years. She has worked at the top of the house in many large companies, but has the refreshing ability to relate to people at all levels, and in every sector. Clients can see how and why they should apply her recommendations. The loyalty she commands is a hallmark of her consulting practice.
Nancy Badore
Former Executive Director,
Leadership Development Program
Ford Motor Company
Beth is an extraordinary coach. She has a unique ability to hold up the goals and needs of the business as a steady beacon while relating to the person she’s coaching with great compassion. She frames discussions in a way that allows the person to seize the opportunity for improvement rather than focus on missed opportunities in the past.
HR Executive

Beth is my most trusted and valued resource for leadership, change management, team building, meeting facilitation, and executive coaching. I have worked with Beth for over 20 years in my roles as an HR leader and Organizational Development leader for JohnsonDiversey. Beth is efficient, practical, and complete in her consulting approach, providing not only the latest research and theory but also the expertise in how to make the change needed in a practical and cost efficient manner.
Senior HR Executive
JohnsonDiversey
I have always admired Beth’s tremendous intellect. She is also a futurist. She sees way out in front of the cutting edge and can forecast how technology will impact business in the future. I never come away from a conversation with Beth without learning something and becoming inspired.

Beth is a quick study. She quickly pinpointed the areas I need to develop and made specific, practical suggestions. She listens, draws upon her vast knowledge and experience, and connects to my situation. I feel very fortunate to be working with Beth.
Executive Coaching Client
Fortune 50 Company
I have known and collaborated with Beth for many years and can speak to her professionalism, integrity, and capacity for delivering interventions that make a real and sustained difference. Not only is she an organizational psychologist with an impressive experience bank to draw from, she is also a practical and pragmatic problem solver who can help individuals and organizations raise the level of their effectiveness.
