“Linda is a wonderful facilitator!!! In just 90 minutes, I have already taken away so much; I am excited to apply some of the pieces of the work shop to training with my own staff.” – Aubree / South Sound YMCA

“Julie has the ability to take teams through difficult conversations in a way that delivers constructive outcomes. The unique combination of experience that she brings to the table – people-focused facilitation and mediation as well as process-based system thinking and problem solving – creates an open environment for problem-solving and growth. We called on Julie when a situation felt ‘stuck.’ Julie facilitated the discussion with both patience and a plan.  She gave the space for everyone to be heard and also provided a structure that helped the group make progress by starting with areas of agreement and breaking out more complex or contentious discussions into manageable pieces.  What felt like an overwhelming ask, to get a group to agreement, was accomplished.” Elizabeth/Office of Financial Management

“Linda has come twice to our nonprofit during difficult times of transition  when we needed outside guidance. She first provided workshop training to improve communication and relations between board and staff by exploring our very diverse personalities and communication styles. The second was a board training on governance and appropriate roles and duties. Both sessions were transformative. Linda facilitated with incredible grace and respect–and wisdom. She is honest and incisive, guiding our participatory and inclusive discussion so that everyone felt heard. We left with a new understanding of our organization overall and ourselves in the organization, and a renewed commitment to positive changes going forward.” – Sherry / CIELO
