What clients have to say
“Without your direction, encouragement and support, there is no way I could have done it. You made a huge difference not only in our organization, but in my life personally.”
Executive Director, Fresh Lifelines for Youth
“What was especially helpful was your keeping us focused in our planning and providing strategic discipline to our thinking as we considered options. I especially valued your well-informed opinions on best practices in non-profit governance. Also helpful was your ability to facilitate effectively the retreat discussions and adapt to changing circumstances and group needs.”
Chair, Board Development Committee, Sacred Heart Community Services
“We benefited from your expertise and your calm and centered manner. Because merging is a huge step to take, there is necessarily some anxiety connected to it. From our first interview with you, I felt complete trust in your experience and sensitivity as well as your ability to work for the benefit of both agencies.”
Board member, Centre for Living with Dying (now part of Bill Wilson Center)
“Your doctoral work definitely adds to the richness of what you can offer clients. I like how you are able to combine this valuable academic knowledge with many years of practical, real world experience in non-profit governance. The best from both worlds. I like how you think.”
Board member, Sacred Heart Community Services
“Keeping people on track, your clarity in stating the board’s role, and your ability to go with the flow were especially helpful.”
Executive Director, Jewish Family Services
“With you as moderator and facilitator, we were challenged to really give the Best of the Best in us as board members!”
Board member, Asian Americans for Community Involvement
“I particularly like the way that Mary leveraged the group to address questions posed. Often the workshop leader presents and then gives all the answers to questions, and a person can walk away felling like they didn’t have an opportunity to really engage. That was not the case today. It was definitely worth my time and I will recommend it to other board members.”
Workshop attendee
“You were invaluable. Your presentation was succinctly delivered and one point followed logically on the other – which made it easy to grasp. You stayed on task—and remarkably kept us on time! Spectacular!"
Board member, Cambrian Center
