Who is judy rendek?

Backed by 30 years of practical experience in trade, education and political environments, I've been helping people just like you to achieve their personal goals.

​

Whether you're a foreign-trained professional seeking accreditation in Canada, a student overwhelmed by education and career options, or a newcomer to Canada seeking to learn its language and culture, I can help you reach your real potential.

​

What do I offer? Practical, highly personalized, one-on-one mentorship based on my successful business and professional career. I've worked in leading educational institutions teaching companies and entrepreneurs break into lucrative business opportunities abroad. I've helped major international corporations set up new, highly successful operations in Canada. In provincial B.C. political environments I've gained real understanding of how systems work, and developed a network of contacts in B.C.'s healthcare system, including leading hospitals and mental health offices.

​

Now I spend my time sharing this knowledge and experience with people like you. People who are smart, capable and qualified in their field, but need help getting through roadblocks. People who have poor English skills, have difficulty writing, are afraid of exams or job interviews. I help people who suffer personal insecurity and long term difficulty handling mental and emotional issues that prevent them from getting and staying organized.

​

I'd like to work with you to unleash your potential. You know you have what it takes. You know there are opportunities. But you need that helping hand, that guiding light to put you on your path to success.

​

Take the first step. Tell me where you need help. I'll respond with a game plan and budget that will be tailored especially for what you need and what you can afford.

Are you ready? Do you want to unleash your real potential?

then let's get started.
