Testimonials

"Judy has provided invaluable guidance in many negotiations for me, with skills honed through many years in a wide variety of high-stakes settings. She brings an impressive clarity of thought, insight and communications, and a calm perspective to situations that can often lack all of the above. A few months ago, I sought out her help on a negotiation that wasn’t going well. She helped me think through options with a clear head and calm perspective, asking me smart questions, listening carefully both to what was said and unsaid, and making insightful suggestions that ultimately led to a much better outcome than I could have achieved without her help. While many of us shy away from situations like this, Judy loves to dive in and sort through complex (and sometimes sensitive) business issues and disputes with the goal of creating a good outcome for all."

Nancy Katz, Senior Director, Costanoa Ventures

“Judy understands how to lead through complex issues: empathy. She has also been an incredible mentor. Judy’s ability to dissect the ‘real’ problem, ask intelligent questions and ‘feel’ with you was instrumental during two different phases of my life; building and then selling my company. I am honored to consider Judy a friend, and her skills of communication, strategy, and love have greatly strengthened who I am as a man.”

"Judy Bornstein helped me transform a potentially catastrophic dispute into a rational and professional process that delivered acceptable outcomes all around. Judy is gifted at understanding the emotions and needs at play in a dispute in a way that incorporates them into the mediation—we are not made of wood!—while keeping heads cool and communication clean. I felt better every time I got off the phone with her, and I am content with the outcome of our mediation because I know that she and I explored all avenues and made thoughtful decisions at every step. She is gracious, compassionate, and principled, and I could not be more satisfied or more grateful for her work."

Lynn Harris, CEO, GOLD Comedy

"If I could ask every organization to include Judy in a "benefits package," I would. She was the biggest benefit that I could have received in navigating my organization. Judy came in to equip me with the tools and knowledge I needed. She took the time to understand, listen, and guide me, and provided me with suggestions I was comfortable with. She never pushed, yet she still challenged me in a self-led way that ultimately grew me to become a stronger professional, teammate, and overall human. I hope to always have Judy in my corner and recommend other organizations make her services available to their employees."
