SUCCESS STORY

I came to DeaRonda when I had a lack of confidence in my grant business. I struggled with finding my target client and feeling comfortable about pricing. I was definitely undercharging for the value I bring. I was impressed by her success and her experience aligns with where I see myself in the future.
She is very patient and good at tailoring her coaching to my specific needs. We dove right into various grant concepts and she shared real time feedback on a proposal I am preparing for a client. She gave excellent feedback beacuse she is a great writer and thinks strategically.
I have truly grown as a grant writer and have the confidence to go after clients in new sectors. She has helped me gain traction for higher paying clients through the things she taught me in our sessions. I'm so glad I made the decision to work with her.

DeaRonda's coaching has really helped me understand much more about the Grant Writing field! The value of her resources and insights on writing, best practices for managing the grant cycle, and firsthand experiences she shared in building skills as a grant writer have far exceeded both my expectation and my investment for her services. It was also a blessing to connect with her from the unique perspective of a grant writer of color, and I feel much more confident stepping into the field armed with both the tools and insights to succeed. DeaRonda was genuine and communicative, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to connect!
