Testimonials
Nikhil Sindhwani, Ph.D., Nobel Biocare, Belgium, 2018
I had the opportunity to have my decision pattern analysis done a little while ago. Since then I have had uncountable 'Oh! that explains a lot!' moments. While understanding is one thing, Ritu is also great at helping you navigate your (actual or perceived) weaknesses and maximizing your strengths. If your're like me, you'll love the specific pointers and simple but highly effective strategies that can catapult your career. It has hepled me connect with my team and my bosses better. Its like I have a mental map that I can use to understand their particular individual motivations. The benefits certainly apply to your personal life as well. This is personal coaching at its best. I look forward to learning more.

My partner and I just had our profiles down by Ritu at The Next Move and it was a lovely experience of feeling seen, validated for my quirks, relentless patterns, and tendencies in the way I decide to move through my life. It isn't just how I move through my life, but also why, that I learned about. From a relationship point of view, I value this information like gold, because it sheds light on the places where I get "stuck" in the day to day negotiations of life with my partner and close relations. I am now equipped with more awareness as I approach these encounters, which means more patience for myself and those I interact with. Ritu is a joy to work with. She is light-hearted and very passionate about her work. It is contagious.

The insights into the personalities and decision-making preferences of the prospective jurors that Ms. Chander and her staff provided our legal team during jury selection for a trial in the Northern District of Illinois were invaluable, as was the staff's evaluation of the reactions of the empaneled jurors as the trial progressed. Ms. Chander's team was able to make the assessments and pass the information on to us in a discreet and expeditious manner, which is crucial given the fast pace at which decisions are made at trial. As a bonus, Ms. Chander suggested a modification to my posture to increase my ease and confidence in front of the jury, and it worked!
Jean Gottlieb, The Maple Tree Academy, 2014
"Having my profile done with The Next Move was an eye-opening experience. After the initial interview, the profiler and I sat down together and went over the results. That's when I came to understand the method by which I make decisions, the reason I make different decisions and I became more informed about the way I react to other people. I was able to take the information I received from my profile and apply it to the running of my business. Communication between myself and my employees became much easier. Because I was able to approach my employees in a whole new way, my employees became more responsive and productive. My profile helped me to understand myself and understand how the world saw me and in turn, I was able to use this information to my advantage. I was surprised at how much I learned about myself and about how people perceive me. I was delighted I could put this information to good use. This is an indispensable business tool.
Raja Krishnamoorthi, Sivananthan Laboratories, Inc., 2013
"The Next Move believes in helping people to maximize their communication and interaction skills. Their staff's dedication, diligence, follow-up, and friendly style makes the Next Move a good move for anyone who would like to take their interaction skills to the next level."
JIS, Federal Government Patent Attorney, 2013
"Movement analysis was a real eye opener to me about myself and my interactions with others – both personal and professional. I am now much more aware of why certain relationships are great and others are strained – and, more importantly, now I have tools for understanding and changing a dynamic that is not working. I wish I had had this analysis done much earlier in my career and life! Thank you movement analysis!"
C. Uchida, Nonprofit Professional, 2012
"I found The Next Move's interviewing seminar to be fascinating! They helped explain body language, about which everyone has some intuition, but which only a trained eye can decipher. I've been practicing observing other people's movement at subsequent networking events and even on dates! I can see how this expertise can have applications in all types of arenas, and I've been telling everyone about it!"
"The Next Move's assessment helped me and my partner better understand each other's decision-making and communication styles. The insights provided by The Next Move are quite unique from what we could learn through other types of analysis and observation. Thank you to The Next Move!" Anonymous, Partner Analysis, 2012
Neha Gill, Legal Services Apna Ghar, 2012“
I attended a highly informative seminar held by The Next Move, LLC on interviewing techniques from the perspectives of both the interviewer and the interviewee. I found the seminar extremely useful and practical and have applied it to interviews I have conducted. I gained knowledge on the importance of movement analysis and understanding the whole person versus just looking for body language cues.
I highly recommend attending a seminar by The Next Move, LLC. Not only are the presenters extremely knowledgeable, they also facilitate great discussions. The role playing exercises put the learning into perspective and helped the participants visualize the practical applicability of the concepts of movement analysis.”
MJ, 32 year old attorney in Chicago, 2013
"I have had my fair share of bad luck when it comes to dating, so I was a bit skeptical when I met my current boyfriend who seemed 'too good to be true.' Afraid of wasting time with another dead-end relationship or getting hurt, I enlisted the help of The Next Move. The analysis was dead-on and to my relief, it did not reveal any red flags. Now I am at ease and able to fully enjoy my new and exciting relationship."
Liana Podman, President of the Illinois Paralegal Association, 2016
"The Next Move's presentation is eye opening. Using what I’ve learned, I’m able to consider other people’s strengths to make my team more productive. Also, it enables me to more effectively distribute work and set realistic expectations for individuals.”
Marcia Petit, Senior Manager, Global Innovation, PureCircle Limited, 2015
"After learning the concepts taught by The Next Move, I was able to create a high performing team, improve the engagement on my team and increase my own personal performance. I went from feeling like a failure at my job to feeling less stress and more successful. I now have a better understanding of what my manger needs, his decision-making process, and communication style. The insights and coaching provided by The Next Move have transformed my career and my career path. I not only use what I have learned with my manager, but with my team and in my personal life as well. I went from a skeptic to a believer, and promoter in 3 short months. The impact is immediate and sustaining."

Ritu Chander coached me on speaking and provided valuable advice on connecting with my audience by modifying my movements and content structure. Connecting with our audiences improves our effectiveness and likability, which is crucial to good audience reviews and getting more speaking engagements.
She also provided feedback on self soothing behaviors--what they look like (for example, repeatedly rubbing one's arm) and to avoid them. Audiences won't trust someone who needs to comfort themselves and looks nervous.
Ritu did all of this by watching videos of me speaking. She provided valuable advice that's improved my speaking.
