Testimonials

Former Executive Director: Oregon Shakespeare Festival 

“I deeply appreciated my work with Dr Getz.  As a white man it was important for me to be able to speak with another white person about the experiences I was having, so as not to burden BIPOC with my experience.  Dr Getz is the real-deal – she can speak from personal experience as well as academic truths, and she taps into intellectual, spiritual and emotional perspectives.  I felt very supported in our work, and was able to bring all of that to expanding my ability to succeed in my work.”

Assistant Director, Conflict Resolution Services Student Resolution Center Founder of SONS OF SPIRIT

“When my own life felt like a house I despised, a place I no longer could bear to live in, Cheryl helped me find a secret room, a hidden passageway into my own story I never knew was there. In that sacred place, I saw my life as perfectly created, awaiting not less but more of me. She helped me birth a new story and step into new opportunities to heal and reignite my truth and power. No matter how awful your life may seem right now, I know she can do the same for you. She is gentle and unwavering. Her profound honesty will call you higher. Her leadership will guide you forward and deeper. Where she takes you, there will be no problems to triumph over, only possibilities to own.”

“Working with Dr. Getz was everything we needed it to be! She took the time to understand our organizational structure, familiarized herself with key persons, and presented a learning environment specific to our needs. She provided a safe and supportive space that allowed each participant to be vulnerable and honest. In short, Dr. Getz gave us what we needed to start the process of making meaningful change. If you’re on the fence, go for it! I highly recommend her!”

Former Dean of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and Associate Provost of Academic Planning and Innovation, University of San Diego

“After emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego invited Dr. Cheryl Getz to facilitate a one-day retreat. At a moment when faculty, students, administrators, and alumni needed to envision the school’s future collectively, Dr. Getz collaborated closely with the leadership team to design a meaningful and goal-oriented experience. Her expertise in both the design and implementation of the retreat was exceptional. The result was a powerful and nurturing experience that left us invigorated and ready to implement changes to expand the school, integrate programs, and foster a strong culture of innovation and care.”
