Karen is masterful in guiding corporate groups toward identifying tangible goals, as well as concrete, attainable steps to get there. We were impressed by how much was accomplished in one day. We have hired others to facilitate various corporate planning projects for us and Karen produced the best results by far.

Thank you again to Karen for facilitating our strategic planning day! You were an awesome cat herder, creative mind opener, and a practical level translator.

Karen did an excellent job keeping people connected, involved, and clear on where we were headed. She also made sure that fun and creativity were a key part of the day, which made it very effective.

Our staff and board is comprised of a diverse group of people - academics, experiential teachers, business owners, and youth workers. Thanks to her guidance and facilitation, Karen was able to bring us and our vastly different learning styles together to create a clear evaluation of our past and to generate a strategic plan for the next 2-4 years and an attainable list of goals for the upcoming year. We got to know one another in a more meaningful way and we all got closer to "owning" the work we do. She is great at drawing people out and bringing them together toward a common goal. She creates an environment that allows us to learn from each other and to express our passion for our work. As a result, our plans and our relationships are stronger!

The strategic planning overview looks great Karen… thanks again for all your hard work – you’re help turned into a real life saver!

I was totally impressed by your capacity to lead a strategic planning session for 50 people from extremely diverse facets of our organization: Education, City Hall, Parks and Rec, and Childcare. We will have you back for sure.

Thank you Karen. We absolutely appreciate all of your work on this. It's so great to come out the other end of this engagement with our goals on paper and feeling confident that we have the capacity to begin to achieve them.

“I would highly recommend Karen to other organizations. She facilitated 3 sessions for us, which included our staff, board, and community partners and stakeholders. Karen excelled at making everyone feel comfortable and heard, while supporting the group to make decisions so that the agenda could move forward. There was a lot of lively engagement and I’ve received great feedback from the participants, some of whom have gone on to hire Karen themselves.”

I have great admiration for Karen's excellent skills. Last month she facilitated an excellent Strategic Planning session for the Surrey Women's Centre. Our team found her to be an extremley well organized and effective facilitator. She was very friendly yet also very structured to keep us all on track with the agenda. She is skilled in making everyone's voice count. She was exactly what our team needed. She thoughtfully builds in interactive and experiential activities and encourages group interaction. Our team is so pleased with her that we are getting her on board again for our Team Building day later this month! I recommend Karen for anyone planning to do a strategic planning or team building day.
