Dr. Helen Krug von Nidda
Ed.D. Adult Learning and Leadership
Columbia University
As a Doctoral Candidate [soon to be Doctor of Education ;)] and Certified Professional Coach, I had the incredible fortune of getting to know of Dr. Ensign's work when she presented at Harvard's Institute of Coaching, then had the immense pleasure of partaking in her follow up group coaching program, and I am now working with her individually.
Dr. Ensign has both guided me in my dissertation research and also in using my research to grow my professional coaching practice. Her assistance has been extraordinarily impactful. She cares deeply about students' success and this is evident in her approach as an advisor, career coach, and entrepreneurial consultant.
One aspect of our work together that has been extremely impactful has been Dr. Ensign's guidance in applying my doctoral research and her unique approach in blending my passion for my work with evidence based research and tools. This has transformed how I view the work I do and the ways in which I engage with my coaching clients.
Another aspect of our work together is that Dr. Ensign has been instrumental in helping me gain clarity, focus and strategies around the building blocks of my coaching business. She is extremely generous and thoughtful in guiding and exploring my work and her scientific approach has literally transformed my business approach. Her ability to distill theory into practice makes working with Dr. Ensign sheer joy.
Dr. Ensign brings and shares with abundance, not only her wealth of knowledge but also her experience as a PhD Professor and her business expertise, a combination which is rare. Her approach makes it a most unique and truly eye opening journey.
I simply could not recommend Dr. Ensign more highly, working with her is one of the best investments I have made.
From Dr. Ensign's coursework students...
Dr. Ensign was hands down the best professor I have encountered through all of my studies (Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. programs). Her willingness to establish 1-1s with students to help them gain traction on their focused work is unparalleled. I would take another course of hers in a heartbeat.
