Client Feedback

 

Excerpts from several unsolicited, unexpected, and unedited letters from clients we've served in recent years ...

 

The Strategic Plan input session you designed and facilitated went fantastically.  It was highly productive, and the input will challenge the Planning Committee.

... CEO of a consulting firm

 

I want to again express what a pleasure it has been to work with you in our leadership transition efforts.  Your insightful guidance in developing our process is of great value.  I look forward to our future meetings and discussions.

... Chair of a CEO search committee

 

Thank you so much for all your hard work in planning and facilitating our recent Executive Management Team retreat as well as the production of the post-retreat materials.  You have been assisting my Division for so many years that you really know our operation and what I am trying to accomplish with this group.  On some level I feel like you are one of the team.

... VP of a large university division

 

A very special thanks for a terrific day and making time for me on such short notice.  I appreciate so much your willingness to share yourself so openly with me.  Your experiences, thoughts and insights were a tremendous help.  I believe you must have worked very hard to find the peaceful presence you have and the ability to communicate in such a non-judgmental way.  I was reviewing my notes from you which I find are very helpful in referring back to over time.

... VP of a large industrial firm

 

Your experience in handling diverse groups such as ours and your skill at making sure that everyone felt "heard" was extremely important.  I personally learned a lot from you, and for that I am very grateful.  And, of course, it was fun working with you.

... Director of a large research department

 

We met the goals you helped us set ... 6 months ahead of schedule, and went from 11th to 1st in District rankings!

... DOT District Engineer

 

I wanted to share with you some of the positive comments I received in response to the evaluation forms distributed following the retreat ...

 

   -  "He's absolutely the best at this I've ever seen."

   -  "Good job in keeping track of the agenda and the group discussion."

   -  "Mel is personable and effective as a facilitator.  He is not 'fluffy' which I appreciated."

   -  "He set an excellent pace and did not let us lag.  He always knew where we were going and was most instrumental in directing us where to go."

   -  "He kept things moving along.  Only provided his opinion when he felt it was beneficial to the conversation.  Got everyone involved.  Didn't allow anyone to be a wallflower."

... VP of a commercial services department

 

Your counsel helped me to work with the senior staff more effectively by seeking to understand their concerns, strengths and weaknesses.  I have referred to the notes you kept many times and feel that working with you helped me be more effective as a mentor/boss/coach.

... Regional Manager of a large consulting firm

 

I appreciate your help with personnel situations; you provide me with lots of good ideas!

... VP of corporate research

 

I think you did a wonderful job facilitating our strategic directions meeting.  This was by far the best meeting of this type that I have been to.

... Principal of a consulting firm

 

The meeting was better than my wildest expectations.  We have lots of work to go but have a solid start.

... CEO of a consulting engineering company

 

Thank you for the superb job you did in leading our strategic planning retreat.  There is a clear consensus among the faculty that we made tremendous progress during the retreat and you played the most significant role.

... Chair of a university engineering department

 

I just want to say that whatever we paid you in 1998 wasn't enough for the value you delivered.

... CEO of an architectural-engineering firm

 

As expected, we tried to cram two days work into one.  The nice thing is that we succeeded.  You worked very hard as both a facilitator and a strategic planning resource.  It was nice to find those skills in one person.  Above all, I appreciated the opportunity to learn from a master.

... President of a professional association

 

Your rapport with me and my management group makes the sessions with you very productive and enjoyable.  You have a way of being a professional even in the informal setting of camp.

... Senior university administrator

 

Given our previous experience working together, my expectations were high, but you exceeded them.  You really brought out the best in the group and everyone in it, and I think the Company's chances for achieving its long-term potential are much improved as a result of the meeting.

... Board member of a financial services firm

 

We had struggled with this Plan through many, many meetings.  You helped us pull it together in one excellent day.

... Director of a university laboratory

 

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Our strategic planning session finally achieved some critical objectives--vision, teamwork, open dialogue, group commitment.  As a result, I have renewed enthusiasm for our future.

... Division Manager of a consulting engineering firm

 

Your work in preparation for, and particularly at, our meeting last week was highly effective, and your efforts were above and beyond the call of duty.  P.S.  Larry was quoting you at our Board call the following Monday.

... CEO of a national consulting organization

 

Just a short note to thank you for putting together the Service=>Success Chain, describing the process of satisfaction levels between leaders, faculty, and stakeholders and overall revenue and growth.  Once again, you hit the mark.

... the best university leader we've ever served
