“As a result of our time together, I have enthusiastically referred Julie for two important later assignments: the first to work with the CEO and senior team of an entrepreneurial company (on which I am a member of the Board of Directors) as it entered a transformational growth phase.  The pressures of "growing pains" required the team to develop a level of trust and clear communication beyond what had been required of them earlier.  Julie was able to shine a light on their issues that all of them could see clearly and thereby contribute to their growth as a team, and to the success of the company.  I also introduced Julie to a partner in a hedge fund who wished to tackle communication and work-style differences between a couple of key senior team members.  Julie was able to make a meaningful difference in their work climate -- something that other consultants with whom they had previously worked had not been able to help them achieve.”
