Experts Panel

What some of our clients have said about us:

"I found your workshop to be a cut above the rest... the model you developed for balancing values and choices (has) a very strong element of truth to it; a lot of depth. The honesty in the thinking that goes behind the model drives that."  - Senior Administrative Officer, Consolidated County Government, Kentucky

​

"Not only did I truly enjoy your presentation, but now I have words to express why I ran for the Board of Education in the first place. I am running for a second term...and want...to present these thoughts clearly enough so that my audience will understand I am not 'running against' but am 'running for' our entire district.  Thank you again."  - School Board Member, Illinois

​

"I always leave the meetings you help to facilitate, feeling optimistic that the group has actually 'gotten' the take-home message we are trying to communicate!"  - NC Smart Start Executive Director

​

"I attended an all-day workshop entitled Public Problems, Democratic Decisions: The Role of Mayors and Council Members, which was excellent. The premise of the program was that our democratic system has a built-in tension...(that) forces all issues out into the open...which, in turn, can and should lead to responsible decision making."  - Village Mayor, Illinois

​

"Dear Dr. Phil (the REAL Dr. Phil is what I'm going to call you from now on!), Your Stepping Up to the Plate without Crossing the Line: Democratic Leadership for Public Executives workshop was the most valuable training session I have ever taken... I am going to apply the lessons learned to the difficult problems we are currently facing in my community."  - City Manager, Florida
