Testimonial

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Doreen and employing her talents to assist our team in formulating long-term forward plan and confirm our strategic direction.  She quickly and expertly learned the unique facets of our business which helped her facilitate our discussions in a very productive manner.  Doreen took the time to professionally prepare in advance for the session as well as seek out information from key stakeholders to ensure success. The value-add from Doreen to our team agenda was immeasurable.
