Testimonials

Wendy has been a trusted advisor to me in both my roles as Executive Director of Brand Strategy at AOL and as Chief of Staff of The Nature Conservancy. At AOL we partnered on a brand identity roll that engaged even the most skeptical entrepreneurial staff and converted them to brand champions. Similarly, at the Conservancy, we created a Women’s Leadership Forum designed to get the organization’s best thinking on gender diversity. Wendy is a master at blending best-in-class research with the thoughtful art of developing powerful, engaging strategic events that serve as a catalyst for change.
Janine Wilkin, Chief of Staff, The Nature Conservancy
I'm still hearing great things from my staff about your energizing presentation! More than one person told me you were the best speaker we ever had. You were spot-on at weaving in our terminology and examples - even using the names of people you had just met. You really helped us all look at change differently and you opened up some great conversations about how we can deal with the stress of constant change.
Debbie Thurman, Senior Vice President, Contracts, ManTech International Corporation
Everyone I spoke to came out of our event with a whole new level of understanding and motivation. Many people are already taking steps to put your advice to use. What a measure of success!

Your preparedness and research demonstrated your professionalism as a speaker. I received several comments on how impressed people were that you took time to research our company and integrate real examples into your presentation. Using the information that you gathered beforehand made a huge impact on not only the participants, but also on those whom you interviewed. I would be delighted to work with you again.

On behalf of TUI, I wanted to thank you for the great program on change. Our leaders were very engaged throughout the day which was a credit to the interactive program you designed for us. You have a great way about you that allows folks to open up and have some much needed dialogue. Everyone walked away more comfortable with change and much more knowledgeable on the topic. Thank you for being so receptive to the team’s needs.

Wendy, it was a total pleasure working with you. I really appreciated your responsiveness, organization, and high energy! Days later people were still talking about how much they enjoyed your presentation and how useful they found the information. Your enthusiasm and humor were appreciated by all.
Tricia King, Executive Assistant, The Nature Conservancy
I shared highlights from the conference with my leadership team. Our company president jumped on your small-group engagement technique – he wants to use it for every significant announcement going forward. Take home value at its finest!
Ray Hanson, Westech Inc.
I would highly recommend Wendy for any organizational effort that required someone who understands change, leadership, program design, and/or facilitation. Her energy level and enthusiasm are contagious. There was never a “problem”, just challenges for which we needed find another way of approaching. It makes a big difference when you are working on deadlines to have a person who is competent, confident and an easy-going collaborator.
Vicki Gray, Organizational Development Specialist, USGS
Please accept our thanks for an awesome job on the leadership program. Your professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm helped re-energize managers from multiple business operating units and locations. It was evident to me that our managers were primed and ready to put their new knowledge to good use.
HR Manager, Northrop Grumman
Wendy asked questions that enabled us to take our project to a whole new level. Her work will pay dividends as our company reinvents its image and product.

Your presentation was outstanding. If your message did not get people thinking, the issue lies within. You are personally very good at what you do.
