POSITIVE PHILTER PODCAST.
In this episode of Positive Philter, I’m joined by Dr. Keith Renshaw, Professor of Psychology and Senior Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education at George Mason University. We discuss his educational journey, his passion for student success, and why research and academic rigor are valuable for all students, not just those pursuing graduate degrees. Dr. Renshaw shares how undergraduate research experiences help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that translate across industries and careers. This is a great conversation for students, educators, and anyone interested in the transformative power of higher education.

POSITIVE PRESS.
TESTIMONIALS.
“I highly recommend Philip as a career coach. He responded to my questions in a prompt and professional manner and gave helpful feedback and tips for my resume that reflect today’s job market. He had great suggestions and provided me with a resume guide that I continuously refer to when I update my resume.”
“From the start, Phil has been a great listener. He took the time to understand my goals and passions, so he could help me relate those things to a rewarding career path. I’ve never realized that I could combine what I enjoy most in my personal and professional life. Phil and I worked together to create a goal and plan steps on how to get there. Each step was an opportunity to grow and a hold myself accountable, but I always knew that I had Phil as my personal “hype man,” providing the tools to get the job done. Fast forward to today and I’m on my way to becoming a CrossFit affiliate owner. I feel confident that my career path will come with amazing challenges, growth, and success.”
“My resume was quickly improved thanks to the constructive feedback that Philip provided. He also provided helpful tips and resources as we discussed different job hunting strategies. After changes were made, there was an immediate and noticeable difference to the rate at which I was landing interviews. Philip was professional while staying approachable. It is evident that he really cares about others and their success.”
“I truly appreciate Positive Philter is helping me to rework and redraft my cover letter and resume. His professional touch and expertise allowed me to feel confident in submitting my professional documents which led to me landing my dream job. Thank you Positive Philter!”
