"I won a $15,000 Pollack-Krasner Grant, thanks to my private consultation with you and your career guidance." Stephen

"You helped me focus on achieving my goal, a solo show in a New York gallery." Ana

"Renée, with your advice I finally put together a consistent body of work and I applied for a grant. I received $10,000 to make this CD. I won't forget what you've done for me." John

"I'm writing to send you a big, fat THANK YOU for taking a generous chunk of time to share your wisdom and offer your valuable advice. I felt our consultation was both time and money very well spent indeed. Thanks, too, for not objecting to Bob's sitting in with us. Like me, he was happily impressed with your bounty of helpful knowledge, as well as your genuine interest in helping me achieve my artistic career goals. I think the genuine part was what impressed us both the most. My artistic efforts are not often appreciated the way I felt appreciated yesterday by you. It was a delightful feeling. Please know how much I appreciate the work you did to compile that wonderful list of exhibition possibilities for me. I'm only just beginning to digest the wealth of information, but it is all so very exciting. Helen

"Thank you. You gently pushed me and my artwork out the door." Betty

"I have never met anyone in the art world like Renée who is so singularly focused in her pursuit to help artists establish and further their careers." Edward Rubin, NY critic

"Thanks so much for your advice---I know that the professional-looking packet had everything to do with getting the gallery's attention and getting accepted into it (I even put a picture label on the CD, as you suggested)."

I’m still working on many of the things we talked about in our first consult. "Renée's ideas, enthusiasm, and insights offer people the focus and action-steps needed to accomplish their goals. Her genius is at helping people articulate their aims while at the same time honing in on their strengths and skills, then providing them with the tools and the ease to plan for and achieve their goals." Judith

"Renée Phillips offers an unparalleled resource for artists seeking to develop their career. As a coach Renée has the unique ability to identify an artist's strengths and map a path to success. Renée is truly an artist's muse." Marybeth

"Your advice and connections saved me money in the promotion of my exhibition.You helped me launch a professional publicity campaign that is still working for me many months later." Patrick

"Your help has been wonderful, and your insights have helped me to believe that I can be successful... at a time when doubt seemed to loom large. I thank you for helping me to turn the corner to new possibilities and adventures." Maureen

"I just wanted to tell you again how much I appreciated our coaching sessions. I feel back in the groove of painting. I am ready to venture into some new things, and avenues that you suggested to me. Thank you again for all your help. You are great!" Patti

"At Renee's gentle and supportive urging I wrote an article for Manhattan Arts International's online magazine. This was a wonderful experience as it helped me to finally put my thoughts about my work on paper.  Then, several months later, an art consultant found the article, learned of my work, and offered me the opportunity to display my work in a significant group show." Judith

"In my practice as a career consultant and coach the most valuable assets that I draw from combine the extensive knowledge and career experience I have acquired over the past 27 years being in NYC. (Read her bio.) I also apply the tools of listening, observing, questioning and motivating which I have developed from years of studying and practicing psychology, spirituality, and coaching."
