“Helen led us through incredibly focused and productive workshops. Her ability to listen, probe, ask questions, and iterate on what she heard was remarkable. The clarity her process provided has been invaluable. I am confident working with Helen will save any organization time and resources as they sharpen their messaging and engagement with internal and external stakeholders.”

"Our time with Helen was invaluable. Helen kept us focused, challenged many of our assumptions, collaborated with our team members, gave us productive feedback, and clarified several questions we had in our move forward business model. Helen helped us both dial in what was working and make changes regarding strategies that had stalled out. If anyone is looking for a simple, but highly impactful experience that can increase your organization's focus and effectiveness, Helen and her process is a great starting place.”

"Helen helped us clarify our core offerings so we could distinguish our firm from others doing similar but different work.  She asked the right questions to get us to refine our thinking and messaging.  Helen was always prepared for our meetings and very focused.  She helped draw out the vision we wanted to get down on paper so we could drive towards it.  We are excited to see the fruit from the time Helen invested with us!"

“Helen gave us a foundation to both establish our core identity as an organization and practice working as a group on big questions. It was a relief to have someone who knew what the steps needed to be, guided us through them, and helped us arrive at a desirable outcome. Very professional, thoughtful and thorough. I was surprised by how much we were able to cover and the degree to which we were able to come together and find alignment.”

“Before engaging Helen, we were struggling to cultivate and retain donors. Helen’s intervention helped us turn the corner. I initially feared an overwhelming process resulting in an unrealistic plan that would sit on a shelf. Instead, she delivered a plan that was attainable and actionable. Our team left the experience with a clear understanding of what to do and when to do it. After our engagement with Helen, I felt better equipped in my role as the primary fundraiser and I’ve seen increased donor responsiveness.”

“Helen is incredible! Unbelievably sharp, spot on with taking our muddled ideas and creating incredibly helpful visual frameworks, flow structures, and options for potential implementation. Her process helped align our whole team to how our new offering, our Virtual Coach House, fits and gives greater impact to our organizational mission. Beyond her deep expertise, she is incredibly encouraging and fun to work with!”

“Helen’s strategic framework and skillful facilitation helped us at a critical juncture as we expanded our independent school. What stood out to us was Helen’s careful listening and deep engagement with our mission, such that each workshop moved us closer to a clear articulation of our end goal. We sensed a special partnership with Helen, knowing she was entering our conversations with expert preparation and humble prayer.”

“Helen has sharpened, energized and encouraged our marketing team. Many consultants I have worked with take weeks or even months to “learn” our organizations, and only then do they begin to add value. Helen very quickly understood our organization and audience and was able to contribute valuable insights from our first meeting. We are better marketers because of her engagement. After working with Helen for a couple of months, I’m looking forward to many more months together.”

“Helen is an absolute joy to work with. Not only did she bring phenomenal energy to our team, but her dedication to excellence and organization also helped our small team produce a plan that seemed to be the work of 10 people. She was able to organize many complex thoughts into manageable and achievable plans and goals.”

“Helen helped a group with diverse opinions come to alignment on a number of really critical points. I liked Helen's framework: a very clear series of steps (workshops) to get us to the end product with a tightly defined schedule. Helen was able to to herd cats and navigate some tense conversations while maintaining a constructive environment!”

“Helen helped distill SWISCO's long-term vision into easy to define, crystal clear goals. Helen always comes up with new ideas and has realistic ways to implement them. Her vast experience and knowledge made it easy to ask the right questions when it came to hiring agencies to work with us, and thanks to her we were able to quickly discern which services were the best fit for our company. This process saved us not only money, but precious time as well.”

“Helen is a brand and marketing genius! Working with her was so much fun. She listened to each of our ideas and narrowed them down to one thought we could all agree on. The deliverable was better than we expected, and we were all in amazement at how seamless it was. We are still applying some of the methods we learned from our time with Helen.”
