“I found the experience of working with RYAA to be the exact right fit in a challenging situation. Rhoma’s ability to read people quickly and accurately, and then incorporate those insights into solutions for resolution, proved to be invaluable.

“I’ve worked with Rhoma for over 15 years. Her particular brand of magic is her ability to communicate effectively at all levels of any organization and to provide clear insight into motivations and truly creative and effective resolutions to complex human situations. She’s one of a kind.”
“She designed and implemented a unique, interactive executive performance evaluation process to give management increasingly effective performance feedback over several years. I’d recommend RYAA to organizations that need help in addressing human resource issues that arise,
but even more so, to review your company's approach to creating a healthy environment that is effective at minimizing human resource issues.”

“I found the experience of working with Rhoma Young and Associates to be truly invaluable. I approached RYAA because we had an HR investigative issue that was clearly beyond my personal expertise. One result that I liked was RYAA’s quick and precise identification of broader issues that needed to be addressed. Rhoma helped me by assisting me to think through the options for not only addressing the matter at hand, but also in setting up a system that would prevent its recurrence. I’d recommend RYAA to organizations that need timely and expert guidance on any and all human resources issues and in particular, when the resolution of the issue requires genuine courage – she is fearless.”

”My first encounters with Rhoma Young were as an executive coach. She has an uncanny ability to quickly and accurately "read' people. Rhoma’s practical, thoughtful, and supportive in her approach which fosters trust and positive dialogue. The engagement promoted development, built positive relationships, and developed the skills of those involved.
I've also worked with Rhoma on multiple occasions to address human resource opportunities. She leverages her vast experiences in an approach that’s efficient and detailed yet supportive and effective. These comprehensive and positive experiences were valuable not only in creatively resolving the situations at hand, but also exceeded my expectations and provided me with insight and a plan for professional growth. It was incredibly valuable to me.”
RICHARD N. SNYDER
California State Bar No. 51615
“I’ve practiced law for nearly 50 years, and in that practice have advised national and high profile international architecture firms, design firms, industrial and business enterprises, as well as advised diverse boards. For over 30 of those years, I’ve relied upon RYAA for the whole panoply of HR assessments, audits, and procedures. RYAA’s long experience with the evolution and application of both federal and state laws, together with RYAA’s readiness to grapple with the thorniest of issues to achieve and communicate both probing and rapid analysis, and RYAA’s ability to provide ranges of options, have always been outstanding.
Consulting with RYAA to assess situations, and to make recommendations before problems arise has always been an effective way of forestalling what could have developed into critically adverse situations.”
