More Client Testimonials...


"The feedback from the session was outstanding, Lyn. The new Council members were so appreciative of the session. Many Council members commented on the fact that they we had such a productive meeting (the next day) because they had the benefit of the governance workshop the day before. So you hit the mark, Lyn!"


Mary Ann Rangan
Executive Director
Ontario Professional Planners Institute


"It is a delight to work with you, Lyn. Several Board members have told me that you are the best facilitator they have ever worked with. What I particularly like is that you bring an element of education to the working sessions, but at the same time enable us to develop solutions that work for us. You are such a good listener - but not afraid to challenge our ideas if we're not making sense! And, I know very well, that if you're asked to make a recommendation, you do so, and with evidence to support it. I can't say enough about how much value you have brought to our governance review, our multi-agency agreement and to our restructuring. You have made huge, daunting projects seem manageable and even fun! Thank you so much.

Vicky Earle
Executive Director
Grandview Children's Centre and Grandview Children's Foundation

Participants in Toolbox for Fresh Conversations: Seven Agenda Ideas to Transform Your Meetings & Your Thinking 2009 CSAE Presentation

CLIENTS SAY IT BEST...


"In May 2006, I asked Lyn to help Imagine Canada have an important conversation amongst charity and foundation leaders. Lyn brought energy and ability to the challenge. She facilitated those first conversations -- framing the topic, generating key questions, and smoothly weaving the best ideas of all participants together. Her leadership on this was pivotal."

"Lyn, we must commend you on so many things including creating a really efficient and useful process, providing powerful advice and guidance, understanding very deeply that governance had to support the strategy and our needs went beyond governance to leadership of the organization, and being sensitive to the needs of our volunteers and the unique culture of our organization. You were also a great pleasure to work with for me, our staff and our board members."

Margaret Eaton
President
ABC CANADA Literacy Foundation

"Thank you again for an excellent session. I know the Board members were delighted with it. I think it was exactly what they were looking for. I really appreciated your flexibility and ability to identify and adapt to the needs of the group on an ongoing basis - a very advanced presentation skill!"
