“Newton and Myers supported me through a time of major transition in both my professional and personal life. Bess provided the concrete and collaborative problem-solving and warm and consistent encouragement I needed to identify and work toward my goals. Her approach is tailored to meet you where you are at, based on where you want to go and what works for you. It's like having a resource person, strategist, accountability buddy, and cheering squad all in one. It was life-saving for me.”

-G. Gordon

"Bess and Carrie offered me valuable advice in my job search by reviewing my resume and cover letter, coaching me through potential interview questions, and overall reflecting back to me the impact and impression I made both in-person and via written communication. Since I had a specific job I was applying to, they took a vested interest in becoming more informed about my job history and experience, as well as being informed about the organization in which I was seeking employment. Rather than generic, off the rack insight--their personalized feedback provided me with well-rounded tips for improvement, including tools that they have had success with in the past. Finally, I was able to take advantage of the confidence they infused in me (rightly-so!) and radiate competence and confidence in my interviews. I progressed in my career and gained a support crew that was invaluable!"

"I wanted to express my appreciation to you for assisting me in my job search. I am so glad I found Newton & Myers Consulting at a time in my life when I was uncertain how to move out of academia and into the private or non-profit sector. You were able to guide me in considering what it was I was seeking in a new career. Once I found a company to apply to, the American Foundation for the Blind, you helped me fine-tune my cover letter and resume. I appreciated the appointment we had when we worked together to put the final touches on the resume. The format you recommended I use for both the cover letter and resume enabled me to highlight my skills and experiences while addressing the employer’s job posting requirements.

You are easy to work with, considerate, and very responsive to emails and texts. I especially appreciated the text the day before I interviewed in which you included final tips and links to resources."

 It is with great pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Newton & Myers Consulting, who were instrumental in our recent strategic planning process designed to create a strategic plan aligned with the strategy of our national organization. 

Newton & Myers joined in our planning process with Bess Newton facilitating the work of an analysis team. This team was made up of community members, Board members, volunteers and staff. The team researched and analyzed available data and developed strategic priorities for our organization. 

Ms. Newton fostered a creative, cooperative and respectful atmosphere which led to an exemplary process. The resulting work created a truly innovative plan designed to address our core organization needs in new and exciting ways. We are close to completing a very successful first year guided by the new plan. 

We recommend her firm without reservation. They listened to our needs, guided the team through the process and kept within our budgetary requirements. We were very pleased with the results.
