enthusiasm and dedication of the consultants exceeded my
expectations.”
“She
[Dorothy Graham] understood our culture and our staff.” “The ESC
consultants offered invaluable advice, perspective, and concrete
suggestions to improve our organizational systems.” “Jeanne has met and exceeded our highest
expectation! She has provided true mentoring and knowledgeable
leadership.” “ESC consultants delivered a Full Service
Professional Consultancy.” “Kevin was a great fit for our organization…and
went beyond our expectations.”
“Now [Woodland Trail Greenway Association] has a
strategic plan. As a result the organization has improved
tremendously.”
“Chris and
Colleen…had amazing skill at being able to listen to ALL of us—despite many strong and differing personalities. They helped us find
a way through these differences. They get all the credit for our
moving beyond some serious impasses. They quickly grasped what we
were trying to do, and what the challenges would be in approaching
our different audiences. I can’t imagine where we would be now, if
we had not had their guidance and expertise.” Linda…helped us with the ground work [to]
launch the foundation. It was an amazing feat! Linda not only did
research and identified contacts and resources, but also built
valuable connections within the community. She provided a “full
service” approach—technical, research, and legal. In
approximately one year, we have a foundation with a board!” “John is a mentor to me. He has strong ethics
and provides inspirational support.” “Just wanted to let you know how pleased our
board was with Barbara’s facilitation…. It was great to have such a
focused and experienced facilitator to keep us on track. We
accomplished all of our objectives, and we did it with 30 minutes or
so to spare, which was terrific.” “...we were thrilled to have Bob and Carol. It
always helps to have an outsider. This meeting really got us
focused, and we are pleased that Bob will help us with our long-
term plan.”
“I would like to sincerely thank you for the outstanding services we
received. Your consultant, Mr. O’Rourke, quickly analyzed our
marketing efforts and developed a detailed plan for our staff to
implement… I have no doubt that, due to his work, hundreds of youth
will benefit through better jobs.”
“The commitment and quality of consultant services was top notch. I
heartily recommend ESC.”
“At our recent meeting—many board members commented about the
retreat—how much they learned about (our organization), their
expectations and our goals.”
“ESC consultants have been more responsive to our needs than many
independent consultants”
“They were patient and reliable teachers and were responsive to our
ever changing needs—very well done.”
“The consultant’s emphasis on institutional responsibility has put a
focus on our diversity planning.”
“Nancy exceeded my expectations.”
“Hank has always been willing to be open and honest about his
opinions and his advice which is why I trust him.”
“This is the best consultant I have worked with in over 20 years of
program administration.”
“Your clear thinking and guidance provided me the structure and
support I needed to be able to help the committee complete its work
… Your review provided a much needed objective look at the entire
plan which contributed greatly to its strength.”
“The consulting services you have been providing to the Northshore
School District have been invaluable. Your extensive knowledge of
project management, your gentle way of asking just the right
questions, and your warm communication style have made you an
invaluable asset to the leadership development of administrators in
our district.”
“I am deeply grateful for the work you did for the Zion Academy
project. You fulfilled the purpose of your mission so expertly, so
gracefully and so efficiently that you exceeded what I dared to hope
for.” “Absolutely Outstanding Service” “Frank has served as a sounding board for ideas
and a source for generating new ideas. Not only that, but he is able
to provide me with outside/neutral perspective on many of the
decisions I need to make on a weekly basis.... Frank is serving as
an invaluable advisor as I think through decisions and determine the
future direction of my organization.” “I want to express our sincere gratitude to you
and Bob Boroughs, for an outstanding workshop on September 14th. Your help has been invaluable in getting the board focused on what
needs to be done, as well as the way to get started doing it. What’s more, I believe they also have a new confidence in their
ability to determine and accomplish reasonable goals. Thank you for
your patience in getting this workshop scheduled, and for your
expert advice and guidance.” “We would like to thank Hank Elliott and your
organization for his volunteer contribution to Stanwood Camano
Community Resource Center. Hank is doing a wonderful job as an
interview skills instructor for our Heads Up community service youth
program. This is a valuable learning experience for our youth. Hank is receiving great feedback from the youth and we value him as
part of our volunteer team.” “Your leadership and assistance have made a
critical difference. We did not know how to translate what we were
learning from our stakeholders into a plan. You have the ability to
draw ideas out of the group and place them in a coherent framework. We now have a mission, vision and belief statements which we fully
support.” “Both parties feel that the mediation allowed
important conflicts to be identified and acknowledged. Both are now
more committed to meeting regularly and to speak more honestly.”
