TESTIMONIALS
“Sherry did very in-depth conversations with all direct parties involved with our retreat. She even went further to meet with parties not directly involved in the retreat, but important to her to have the “big picture.” From these meetings she was able to have a better understanding of the issues and the different perspectives. Her background research to me was very impressive. She went above and beyond my expectations to be prepared for this difficult agenda retreat.”

“Sherry’s style worked well for me and I deepened my comprehension meaningfully from her ability to recognize patterns in my thinking and communications, concisely frame these patterns into relevant insights, and articulate categories of action for follow-up and decision making. I really appreciated working with her these past few months and she has helped me to grow as a leader.”
