What people say about Linda's classes,
strategic planning sessions,
and presentations:

...Powerful Information - Thank You!
...I've always hated strategic
planning sessions - too dry, too long, no plan that anyone actually follows. But
yours was different. Engaging and productive six hour workshop. All I can say
is, "Wow!"
...I gained a wealth of information and resources. The one word that
stands out to me in all of the presentation is PLAN. Thank you for all
of your assistance and information.
...This has been a really wonderful seminar. I have learned a great
deal. Although I have been working in non-profits for a few years you
confirmed what I knew, filled in some holes, and taught me where I
could continue to grow.
...Unbelievable strategic
planning session. Focused, fun, engaging six hours that showed us how to work
together as a group to come up with a strategic plan all of us can get behind.

What client's say say about Linda's media relations action plan:
| |
...My media attention has improved from 5 visits a year to 2-6 each month. Fantastic!
...Proven ideas that took our business less than one week to implement. Can't believe it's so easy.
...The best money we've spent in a very long time.
|
What clients say about her executive director skills:
| |
...She truly has the entire package. Marketing, media relations, organization, board development, events and more make her one --if not the best -- directors I've seen come along in years.
...Linda often says, "What does success look like to you?" She got us to focus on what was important, helped us formulate a strategic plan, kept us on track with that plan - and now we know exactly what success looks like.
...Focused, organized, well connected, and one of the hardest workers I've ever met.
