Betsy Sansby
When you're really struggling, you need more than a good listener. You need someone who can sort through the details fast, and get you moving in a healthier direction as quickly as possible.
You can expect me to:
-- Ask direct questions
-- Notice what others miss
-- Tell you what I really think
-- Care about your well-being
-- Insist you do your homework
-- Make each step as easy as possible
Don't expect me to:
-- Sit and nod
-- Agree with you all the time
-- Avoid difficult topics
-- Work harder than you do
-- Perform miracles very often
