I met Schneider a few years ago, and since then, I have been fortunate enough to receive his professional guidance on several occasions. So, if you will, allow me to sing the praises of this remarkable individual. Most recently, Schneider has helped me to negotiate my way through new working relationships in my efforts to become an established screenwriter. His guidance, as always, has been invaluable. He promotes the kind of concrete problem solving that leads to long term professional and personal development. After we examined my problem together, he helped me set achievable goals and develop a workable plan to reach them. But he did more than simply strategize. As a life skills professional, Schneider is one of a rare breed: he possesses the gift of empathy. He takes the time to understand not only what you are saying, but what you are feeling. And he goes beneath the surface of any problem. For me, he facilitated an examination of both the professional challenges I was facing as well as their deeper aspects—which in the long run, will be the most helpful of all. I can honestly say that, through working with Schneider, I have grown personally and professionally.
