I met Renee while working for a tech startup in Cambridge, MA. I was the office manager who wore many hats, however lacked a seasoned and experienced mentor to help me grow. Coming in as an Executive Assistant to the CEO, Renee and I worked closely together. She took me under her wing, gave me advice I use continually, and expanded my network within the administrative professional community.

Renee introduced me to the Greater Boston Admin Awards which’s celebrates administrative professionals at the highest honor. Because of her leadership and encouragement, I won the 2020 Spirit Award and served as an active board member for 3 years. This opportunity has opened so many doors for me within my career and personal life and it’s all because Renee opened her heart, saw something great in me, and offered her guidance.
She genuinely cares for the people she helps and wants to see them thrive. She is there for me when I need advice, introduces me to new groups and opportunities, and encourages me to be myself. Renee is humble, patient, thoughtful, supportive, encouraging, creative, smart, and loyal. Having her as a mentor and trainer has helped mold me into the professional I am today. I feel truly blessed to have met Renee in this giant world. Renee is a power house Executive elated to share her expertise with those passionate about becoming the best versions of themselves.

It’s an honor to provide a recommendation for Renee Viens. What sets Renee apart is her expertise and her genuine passion for helping others succeed. Her passion was evident in the personalized attention and commitment she showed towards my unique challenges and goals. Renee listened attentively and asked insightful questions that prompted me to think critically about my leadership style. Throughout my coaching sessions, Renee provided strategies, actionable steps, and guidance that helped me clarify my objectives and empowered me to make informed decisions. She consistently followed up and offered encouragement to ensure I remained on track. Renee’s mentorship felt like a true partnership, where success is a shared goal.

As a new executive assistant, I have a lot to learn and I needed guidance for my role as an Executive Assistant to the CEO. Renee stepped in and has been a great mentor, friend and teacher for me. She has shared her vast experience and expertise about the EA role, and how she personally manages as a C-suite EA. Renee has provided me with other tools and resources to help me stay organized. I have really grown in these past few months all thanks to Renee, and I really look up to and admire her passion for being an EA.

I met Renee after a panel which featured her as one of the speakers. After listening to Renee speak, I knew I had to approach her and let her know she had helped me that day. What caught me completely off guard was that after approaching Renee, she wanted to learn more about me and my job–I was not expecting a coach. She helped me transform the entire approach to my job. Once we established my goals, Renee outlined the steps that I needed to take control of my work day. She helped me focus on the process, so I am not constantly putting out fires, and most importantly, I am able to chip away at my long-term goals as well. She coached me on specific targets for places to make changes, and gave me some homework, so that I could create structure and gain confidence in my work performance.

I met Renee through a mutual recruiter contact I was feeling stuck with regards to my future, and hoping to get some career advice and perspective. I spoke with Renee by phone and then met in person to plan and strategize. She coached me on what things to look for in an EA role and what questions to prepare for during interviews. She was also a great sounding board when I needed advice or input about specific situations. Ultimately, I accepted a job that was a significant promotion and a nice bump in salary! I highly recommend hiring Renee as your coach to take your career to the next level!
