"Margaret is an extremely intelligent, articulate and perceptive person who not only thinks out of the box herself but also is capable of leading others out of their boxes. She is a born philosopher and makes an immensely valuable contribution drawing wisdom out of others in a way that creates a lasting process for the receiver."
Charles M. Denny, retired CEO ADC Telecommunications, Inc.

"I serve on a Board of Directors with Margaret. I've learned to listen closely when she speaks. She sees things the rest of us miss and draws us back to them."
Stan Nyquist, Director MBA Department, University of St. Thomas

"We were dealing with issues of growth, leadership structure, marketing, personalities and prickly feelings. Margaret has a way of saying what others fear to say in a way that can be heard. She gets at the issues under the surface."
Sarah Susanka, author The Not So Big House, Co-founder SALA Architects

"Margaret helped move us from a reactive late follower to a pro-active early leader culture. And we've even enjoyed it! We are on a much more constructive path. All five staff areas feel energized and more capable of following through on their own. We have saved money, time and have gained market share as a result of her work with us."
Ron Martin, V.P. Quality, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.

"I was delighted with how well the Vision Creation session went especially since there was some resistance to doing it. The feedback has been very positive with comments like "This is one of the best sessions I've attended." and "If we can really implement this vision, it will make a major difference.". You provided an excellent structure and meaningful activities that drew out hidden issues and new insights."
Ann Buck, Quality Facilitator, Boise Cascade Corporation

"We see pricing now as a much more integral part of planning, organizational structure and culture after working with Margaret. We see much more potential to differentiate ourselves now. Her warmth, empathy, and conviction that this will indeed work if we work at it enhanced all of this."
Don Sporer, Vice President Sales and Marketing, American Paging, Inc.

"Margaret's contribution to the health and well being of this staff for over the last five years has been extraordinary in so many practical ways. And she helped us gain the capacity to continue the work and grow without her. We are now implementing more changes that she foresaw would develop over time."
Rev. Michael O'Connell, Rector, Basilica of Saint Mary

 

The consensus of many clients is that she:

Resembles a patient bulldog - kind but tenacious
Renders complex issues into elegant simple solutions
Trustworthy and even handed
Flexible, versatile and bridges opposites well
Prefers to help us solve our own problems verses prove she is the expert
Safe and nonjudgmental yet challenging
Reveals what is hidden
