Testimonials

Kathleen Odonnell

Kathleen O'Donnell | SCORE Mentor

Kathleen is a very positive person whose apparent vast knowledge and experience led to a quick and accurate assessment of where I am at in the process, and what actionable items should be focused on in the immediate and near future. The plan was laid out nicely, and reinforced several times, both verbally, and through handouts, and finally a follow up email. Kathleen was an A+.

Andrew Sharp

Andrew Sharp | SCORE Mentor

My mentor was willing to listen. I don't really know what I'm doing in business yet, but he didn't over power or talk down. He listened and validated. He also had really good experience to pull from in his own life - both small and corporate business.

Thomas Leonhardt

Thomas Leonhardt | SCORE Mentor

My mentor listened intently and with interest to our organization's issues. He was clearly knowledgeable and experienced on the subject and gave some really helpful advice. I anticipate we will need his ongoing advice as we seek 501(c)3 non-profit status.

Whit Ford

Whit Ford | SCORE Mentor

Whit was very clear in his communication. He brought up so many things that I never would have considered. He has a kind way about him and is very approachable. It was made clear that this is my business and ultimately the decisions are up to me.

Nancy Strojny

Nancy Strojny | SCORE Mentor

I'm so grateful my SCORE Mentors took the time to ask questions and understand my needs and intentions for the meeting, they provided clear next steps, and took the time to do research and send me additional recommendations after our call together. Their knowledge, support, insights, and help were extremely valuable and helpful. Thank you!

Peter Carlino

Peter Carlino | SCORE Mentor

Peter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He reviewed what I sent him prior to our meeting, gave me some items to focus on that I was missing before our next meeting, and discussed resources as I moved forward. He explained what SCORE offers, how he can be of assistance as my direct mentor and did not provide any pressure but rather freedom to go at the pace I was most comfortable. I would highly recommend my mentor and SCORE.
