			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>What Colleagues Say about Dr. Romirowsky</strong></p>
<p>Developing and leading a wellness initiative for nurse anesthesia students:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #888888;">&#8220;Kelly is a wonderful asset to our nurse anesthesia educational program&#8217;s faculty and student evaluations regarding her seminars have been excellent.&#8221; (Michael Kost, DNP, CRNA, Program Director of Frank J. Tornetta School of Anesthesia &#8211; La Salle School of Nursing, Montgomery Hospital)</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Helping healthcare professionals and nursing students with test anxiety:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dr Romirowsky helped me immensely. She helped me to overcome an extremely stressful and difficult time in my life. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of stress reduction for professional/academic performance. She was a life saver for me!&#8221; (Graduate Student, Philadelphia)</p>
<p>&#8220;Prior to my sessions I had very bad test anxiety and as a result was unable to pass my NCLEX exam. After working with Dr. R I noticed an extreme decline in my anxiety when I went to retake my exam and b/c of this I was able to pass!&#8221; (Nursing Student, Florida)</p></blockquote>
<p>Designing a cutting-edge data collection system for nonprofit evaluation:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kelly is a true visionary and leader. Over the last 2 years of working with her I witnessed her inspirational leadership as she spearheaded the development of a groundbreaking new Evaluation &amp; Research function at the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia &#8211; the depth and sophistication of which I have never seen before. Not content to sit by and accept standard, minimally insightful pre-packaged evaluation solutions and approaches, Kelly re-defined the entire process by which charitable programs are funded and evaluated. The result of these efforts has led to tremendous enhancements for these programs – improving the lives of countless people – and serving as a guiding model for other organizations to emphatically follow.&#8221; (Richard Blaustein, Analytic Solutions)</p></blockquote>
<p>Speaking to graduate students about career opportunities:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kelly is an engaging speaker with deep knowledge of business psychology.&#8221; (Mathew DelGuidice, PsyD, MBA)</p></blockquote>
<p>Working with a health psychology/business colleague:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Kelly is a highly skilled psychotherapist and leadership coach. She is part of a small group of psychologists with the knowledge, experience and clinical skill to integrate concepts of business and psychology. She has always been committed to providing her clients with evidence- based treatments in an accepting and professional atmosphere.” (Erica Henninger, PsyD, MBA)</p></blockquote>
<p>Establishing and running a leadership consulting firm together:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It has been a pleasure to have known and worked with Dr. Romirowsky over the last eight years. She is a brilliant clinician and consultant. She excels at both clinical and organizational psychology and is able to balance and blend the two disciplines very well.</p>
<p>Dr. Romirowsky and I have worked together on leadership development initiatives (assessments and coaching), program evaluations and organizational design projects. Throughout this work, her insights always proven to be invaluable. She is extremely intelligent, hard-working, creative and compassionate.  Dr. Romirowsky cares a lot about her work and her clients and helping them to succeed. I hope to work closely with her again some time in the near future.&#8221;  (Andrea L Pederzani, PsyD, MBA)</p></blockquote>
<p>Collaborating with colleagues:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dr. Kelly Romirowsky is energetic and motivated. She is committed to, and passionate about, her profession as a psychologist, and takes pride in her ability to assist individuals and organizations with the obstacles they face. Kelly is efficient and organized, and has always presented herself with confidence and with the utmost professionalism. My experiences with Dr. Romirowsky have shown her to be an excellent collaborator, an effective leader, and a stellar psychologist.&#8221;                                      (Julia King, PsyD, MBA)</p></blockquote>
<p>Consulting with non-profits:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dr. Romirowsky approaches her work with unwavering passion and a positive attitude.  She creates an atmosphere that makes those around her feel that they are a valued and respected part of a team. Dr. Romirowsky is dedicated to finding an original solution to each new challenge faced and inspires those she works with to do the same.&#8221;                                                                                                (Amy Schullery, PsyD, Evaluation Analyst)</p></blockquote>
<p>Building outcome-tracking tools:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She is a very sharp analytical thinker and always professional.&#8221;<strong> </strong>(Wendy Clouser, Systems Analyst)</p></blockquote>
