The Leukemia Research Foundation was extremely pleased with Carol’s direction in the creation of our most recent strategic plan.  Having collected a full range of external and internal inputs, Carol stepped in and provided the expert facilitation we required to keep us on a clear path in the actual development of the plan.  Her guidance was key in keeping us focused and moving efficiently toward the completed project.    She was responsive to all communications, was thought-provoking with her questions, and was a pleasure to work with.

Carol did a fantastic job helping facilitate change in our organization. She worked very closely with us to update our strategic plan and ran a day-long board retreat where we were able to re-engage our board and refocus around key priorities.

Carol has a keen ability to identify struggles and challenges within an organization and help the key players work towards solutions. I would highly recommend Carol's consulting services for any organization large or small.

Carol helped me develop and launch a service line extension of my current business. Her knowledge and experience in marketing strategy brought a focused discipline to the project. Her realistic vision for how the line extension could and would be successful came from combining her marketing expertise, her knowledge of the new market and listening closely to me as I shared my concept with her.

Carol took me through a methodical approach for defining, positioning, and marketing my new service; coaching and encouraging me through each step of the process. Her result oriented approach resulted in a practical and realistic marketing strategy.

Additionally, Carol took a personal interest in my business, continuing to encourage me to achieve my goals long after the consulting engagement was concluded. Her enthusiasm about the possibilities for my new service made it fun to work with her, and her passion for using strategic thinking to drive business decisions, helped me to successfully reach my goals.

Carol facilitated the NAGC’s two-day strategic planning meeting. Her team-building and team-facilitation techniques enabled the board to develop a common perspective, reenergized board members, and resulted in a realistic set of strategic priorities which moved us closer to achieving our ultimate Vision.

Carol is a consummate professional, she was a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to working with her in the future.

Carol took a strategic approach to coaching me through my recent career transition.

Under Carol’s direction, I reworked my resume to have the language, look, and feel that extracted the most of what I could offer a company. She helped me to maximize my job search efforts and, using a breadth of tools and worksheets, she assisted in finding the attributes of companies and positions that would best meet my needs.

Her ability to convey her experience, knowledge, and insight increased my confidence level, which left me more prepared to communicate my skills and past experiences in networking meetings and interviews.

I could not be more appreciative of her efforts.

The Bay View Strategic Plan was recently completed and is a job well done. Your work and direction led to consensus thinking on the Board of Trustees and then the many volunteer committees. You challenged all to think with a long range perspective, while you remained patient and objective. The approved Plan is realistic, actionable and achievable with clear responsibilities and deadlines.

We found you easy to work with and you kept everyone informed of progress. You created an easy way for committees to develop action plans and deadlines. We appreciate the reporting tools you have provided as we go forward implementing the Plan.

The Bay View Association is very happy with the work performed by you and your firm and recommends you highly to others who might have similar needs as Bay View.
