What Clients are Saying
“Ann was the consummate facilitator for a high stakes governance meeting. Our organization was moving through a tough transition time with the recent departure of the Executive Director and critical questions about the future direction of our work. It was not only important to have a productive meeting, but also to have a process that built trust, excitement and greater shared clarity on the road ahead.
Her facilitation anticipated the need for personal and emotional engagement, while also achieving our practical, yet ambitious goals for the day.
Ann doesn’t just facilitate meetings—she creates the conditions for breakthrough thinking.”
“We thought we needed to re-imagine our external work, but Ann helped us see that we were held back by unanswered cross-organizational questions. She catalyzed deep team transformation at a critical moment in our organization, and helped us put changes into practice in concrete ways, breaking old patterns and transforming our organizational culture.
Five years later, we continue to rely on these changes as the bedrock of our work.”
“Ann helped us address big picture questions and also pay attention to the small things that make or break change. She helped us rapidly and dramatically expand our capacity and turbo-charge an important new initiative, all with creativity and humor.”
