UNSOLICITATED COMMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS...
“Your facilitation of our retreat was great! The time moved along at a great clip and we got a lot done, but it never felt rushed or pressured. Thank you for boiling it down to the essentials and helping us move through our work in such an effective way!”
“Thank you very much for your help on Saturday. It was the best exercise we have ever been through with our leadership team, past or present....You were serious enough, but not too….your examples from personal experience were excellent…you were empowering in that the expectations placed upon us as a board from what you shared, and the 12 Best Practices notebook were simple, easy to understand, and expressed in a way (at least to me) that shouted, ‘you can do this!’”
“Thanks for doing such a great job in putting skin on our intentions.”
“You were outstanding today…nice pace, friendly approach, insightful, and productive.”
“Thank you so much for being our facilitator this year. It has been a pleasure to develop the retreat with you – your leadership is thoughtful, fun and collaborative.”
“What a terrific retreat. Thank you for your hard work. You were so organized and really got us to focus on some issues.”
