ü      TESTIMONIALS

ü       “Karen, Thank you so much for your help in pulling off the DSG offsite. I know we didn’t have as much time as you would have liked but the result was exactly what we needed.” Ed Faulkner, Vice President, Apogen DSG

ü       “Karen is a people oriented, enthusiastic leader who I've had to pleasure to work with for several years!" Bert Johnston

ü       “Dear Ms Buehler: I want to thank you for coming to our agency last Saturday … to meet with the Center’s program directors, Board members and myself. We found your work with us to be very helpful and we were able to learn a lot from the time you spent with us. Thank you again for taking the time to help us out, your assistance was greatly appreciated.” Executive Director, family services organization

ü       Management Retreat Feedback: Expectations were: just another meeting; data-dump; high level information; in-depth conversation; team building; avoid the standard sales meeting “rah-rah”; a business cycle that builds synergy. What we got: understand where our business is; great useful detail; more participation from a broader audience; interaction in depth; teaming process and action plan; able to think differently, new perspective; we know what we will do differently.

ü       “Your commitment to getting the client contact “right” is very strong. This [enables] you to scope sessions well and will give benefit to you and to the client in terms of knowing what you are doing.” (IAF Certification assessor)
