What others say

• Mark’s strong leadership was the guiding force in helping this organization think strategically and act intentionally–and to take some risks! We developed a strong working relationship which helped create the space for moving the organization forward at just the right time. He knows non profit management backwards and forward and I would recommend to any organization that needs some expert facilitation in this regard to tap into Mark’s creativity and expertise–you will not be disappointed!  -  Betsy Coddington, Executive Director,  Resolutions Northwest

•  It was great to have you facilitate our meeting.  We were able to get much further with you there than we would have been able to get on our own. The meeting provided the groundwork for the planning work to come.  Since we met with you, we had an all-staff meeting that we  facilitated. Taking a page out of your book, we  asked everyone in the department to give their “wishes” for our department.  We synthesized those ideas with the ideas that came out of our meeting with you  and have since developed a prioritized list for planning. Thank you for listening to us and for responding to our needs, and thank you for the summary you provided.  If we do need anything in the future we’ll definitely call you!

• Thank you so very much for all of your time and efforts with this project Mark. I had absolutely no idea how to start conceptualizing a strategy and I feel this is so manageable now. I really am grateful for all of your efforts.

• “Thorough and respectful, Mark was able to compile multiple perspectives into one achievable work plan”

• “As an update…we presented the summit results and the assessment results at our last staff and board meetings.  We formed our work teams and they are tasked with meeting in the next few weeks and coming up with their dashboard measurables…  You were great and I look forward to working together again.”

• “Mark has a wonderful ability to conceptually frame complex issues that draws people into conversations and allows them to discuss issues coherently.

• “What I thought was most impressive to me about your abilities is taking a rather nebulous challenge, analyzing it with insight and crystallizing the situation and establishing an appropriate action plan”
