Great stuff other people say about me:
Ronna Detrick looks you in the eye. And she listens. And when she speaks, you can see her pulling down wisdom from St. Theresa to Simone de Beauvoir through the filter of her own lived experience, to give you gem of grace – or grit. And, she can write – like a poet on a practical mission. Like a feminist with faith.
(Danielle LaPorte. Read the whole conversation the two of us had – over at White Hot Truth)
Ronna Detrick is a writer, feminist, scholar, mama, friend, renegade,
and conversation-sparker (and sustainer). She wrestles faith and feminism.
She leaps tall buildings in a single bound. She does it with grace.
(Kelly Diels, Cleavage – Copywriter & Blogging/Writing Wisdom Galore)
Ronna writes like a woman on fire with faith and love – she burns to help you see more clearly the life you can be living. I learn something about myself every time I read her work.

Ronna starts conversations that push you to swim to the middle of
the ocean of doubt, insecurity, authenticity and hope.
The wonderful thing about it, she swims right there to the middle
with ya and simultaneously doggy paddles, keeps you smiling,
and gets you speaking your truth…
(RENEGADING participant, Summer 2011)
Ronna’s work as a mentor and coach is so effective because of the unique skill set she brings—she’s trained in therapy and spiritual direction; provocative as a feminist thinker; and brilliant at understanding the practical steps of vocational calls. And of course, she’s done the hard work herself—she knows what it is like to struggle with claiming the courage to live boldly into oneself. Her gifts and passions make her an ideal mentor for those who feel themselves really ready to dream, wrestle, and risk on behalf of claiming their own voice and calling.
(Kimberly George, full merit scholar at Yale Divinity School, writer extraordinaire, and feminist friend)
I love that I can KEEP IT REAL with you. You invite that kind of honest courage with your own writing and unique presence in the world of relationships…
(Jennifer Manlowe, Writing Coach at AuthorizeU)
We made a great choice in bringing Ronna to our organization on three different occasions to train over 75 of our senior and mid-level executives on customer service, teamwork and leadership content. She was able to facilitate open conversations with these employees, drawing out brutally honest but incredibly valuable feedback that will help us shape decisions for our company moving forward. Ronna truly engaged our groups, who were skeptical to start, but were firmly on board with our vision by the time she was finished. Her style is flexible depending on her audience, but honest, challenging, disarming and fun. We definitely intend to incorporate Ronna into our corporate training budget moving forward.
