TESTIMONIALS

Asst. Secretary for Transportation —Downstate, Office of Governor Kathy Hochul

I had the pleasure of working with Berthine on a contract she completed for the Port Authority of NY & NJ to support an agency-wide Executive initiative in the transportation/infrastructure industry. In spite of having a challenging deadline and deliverables, Berthine demonstrated the utmost professionalism and work ethic. Her understanding of national diversity and inclusion best practices, demonstration of multi-discipline team leadership, and overall contract management for a public agency were valuable contributions in the completion of the project.

Berthine recently presented as the keynote speaker for our women's conference speaking about women in leadership and proactive allyship. She exceeded our expectations for bringing a powerful, positive message that was relevant for all. Berthine has a genuine, infectious energy that is very motivating. She also uses great activities to help put her ideas into action. We would definitely reach out to her to speak again when the need arises.

I knew Berthine a few years before hiring her as my business strategist. She is not only kind and generous, but crazy smart and patient. This is a woman who understands her gifts and has built a company around her skills and values. As I navigate this new adventure of an entrepreneur, I needed some serious guidance and really wanted to understand why certain approaches worked and how I could keep this momentum sustainable. She helped me find my voice as a business owner and co-created a clear path for me to follow my passion and be profitable doing it! So grateful that I chose to work with her.

I worked with Berthine to revamp my consultancy. She was/is amazing! She helped me best position my approach, identify my target audiences, and figure out my pricing structure. More than that, she helped me gain more confidence in my ability to successfully relaunch my business. The playbook that resulted from our work together is a resource I will continue to use for years. Berthine helped me position myself as a thought leader and create materials that speak to my target audience and demonstrate my ability to better communicate my work, approach, and outcomes. Her comprehensive services are an investment anyone serious about their business should make.

- Jessica Andrews-Wilson

Educational Strategist | College & Career Specialist | Professor | Speaker

I am honored to recommend Berthine Crèvecoeur West and Westbridge Strategy Group for their exceptional support and holistic approach in helping me establish clarity and a systemized approach to building my education consultancy business. I sought Berthine's expertise to transition into the world of business and entrepreneurship — a field where I had no prior experience — because of her accomplishments and the testimonials of other colleagues. The process and details of pricing, creating a blueprint, and branding were my Achilles heel and were creating overwhelm. Berthine helped me navigate all of it with confidence.

- Aisha Stephen, Ed.D.

Chief Social Impact Officer | Architect of Equity Strategy & ESG Innovation | Board Advisor

I was referred to Berthine through our shared professional DEIB networks in May of 2023. As a new entrepreneur, Berthine's strategic planning wisdom was priceless in helping me get the training wheels off of my business. Her savvy advice and warm delivery of insights into the business world are unmatched. Since I've had her expertise on my team, I've been able to scale up my business through revamped processes, programs, and planning. Berthine's business acumen is unparalleled, and I have doubled my client list through working with her. The increase in my revenue has already paid off my investment, and I am pre-budgeting for future engagements.

I was later a guest on her Global Fluency Podcast, where we engaged in dialogue on diversity and inclusion in the entertainment industry.
