“As a new immigrant from China for American, with career change from academic teaching to work in one of the top 30 Corporations, I had so many cultural and organizational gaps to fill and have had many mentors through my career journey. Todd is the best of all! He is THE bridge to link me to see the light and reach my goals. Todd is a great listener, respects diverse background and thoughts, offers coaching and encouragement without trying to dominate or direct me. The mentorship with Todd not only has helped my career advancement, but also has transferred me to become a better mentor to others. Modeling the way that Todd mentored me, it enhanced my own coaching skills. I forever appreciate Todd’s significant impact in my life!”
