Testimonials

Ronnie’s analysis, report, and presentations were excellent. Her perceptive interviews of board and staff and her ability to capture both the similarities and differences between the two were crucial. We now have useful information as we look for new leadership.      Mary A. Doyen, President/CEO, Rocky Mountain Center for Health Promotion and Education

We were able to come to consensus on well-considered, creative decisions because Ronnie helped us feel safe enough to share and explore our divergent opinions. She is extremely skilled when tempers flare, setting and holding firm boundaries and guidelines (in a gentle yet persistent way) that shift the tone toward mutual respect.     Julia A. Parisian, Psychologist, Member Harmony Village Cohousing

Ronnie is highly respected as a role-model for her work within systems and communities to achieve collaboration. She has contributed extensively to numerous professional and community organizations and is highly valued as a regional and national consultant.     Roberta K. Beach, Professor Emerita, Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine

With Ronnie’s expert facilitation and guidance, we achieved all of our retreat goals. She heard us and she helped us identify issues and ideas that will guide us in the months and years ahead.      Julie Shaw, Executive Director, Urgent Action Fund

As part of Denver’s Child and Youth Friendly City Initiative, Ronnie trained our community facilitators, engaging all of the participants, thereby moving the discussion forward and to conclusion. Responsive to our needs, she followed through in a very timely manner, and provided excellent materials.     Stephanie Hoy, Executive Director, Assets for Colorado Youth

Ronnie’s facilitation and training was very effective in improving supervisory and communication skills. The session was smooth, informative, productive, and straightforward. As a result of the training, the teachers now have a simple and usable process for performance review, coaching, and goal setting with the people they supervise. A highlight of the training was role playing. By practicing the positive communication techniques taught by Ronnie, and applying them to this new supervisory process, the teachers now have skills and confidence to be better supervisors. Our session ended with a specific and realistic action plan designed to improve our personnel process.      Nancy James, Executive Director, Montessori Academy of Colorado
