Client TestimonialsList of Representative ClientsWhat Clients Say About Working with Deborah“Deb was able to facilitate a retreat for us so that even those
who do not like retreats or the topics discussed benefited from the
experience. The process she co-created with us and the work that our
team accomplished at the retreat was a catalyst for us to take off
running on many of our issues. I am excited about the possibility of
real change occurring inside the Law School.” “Deborah Howard brought an important blend of intelligence and
humanity to a somewhat contentious gathering of women. Her cool head
and willingness to be creative and focused on the big picture were
both extremely valuable qualities.” “Deb's ‘push back’ skills and delving into the ‘deeper issues’
taught me to reflect on how I deal with my staff. She related to my
nursing staff without any difficulties and made them feel
comfortable talking about issues that had been bothering them for a
long time. Her ability to create a non-threatening and positive
environment made a lasting impression on my staff. Staff members
said that the sessions with Deb made them feel closer as a team and
taught them how to positively approach each other to give feedback
on their performance. The sessions were definitely helpful for me to
bring my staff together. And, Deb’s follow-up reports were
thorough.” “[In working with our organization] Deb was extremely helpful and
well received. Our staff enjoyed her style – her openness, her
ability to identify the ‘heart’ of an issue and focus attention and
discussion on what really mattered. I was particularly impressed
with her methodical preparation before the workshops and her
comprehensive reports and analysis after the workshops. After just a
few hours with key constituents, Deb came to a broad understanding
of how our organization operated, what the significant issues were,
who the vital players were and consequently she was able to lead our
meetings with a certain amount of authority. The team felt confident
that she was familiar enough with the Academy to coach us in our
transition.” “Deborah did a marvelous job helping us start a major new law
school project. She was instrumental in helping us analyze the
project and identify the resources (both internal and external) that
would be needed to move it forward. She did a great job facilitating
focus groups of alumnae/i and other lawyers to help us design a
program to meet their needs as well as the needs of the law school.
She is able to draw upon her knowledge of law school administration
and academic institutions as well as her experience in the legal
profession and with nonprofit organizations to bring fresh ideas to
her clients.” "Deborah Howard's creativity, sensitivity to institutional
culture, enthusiasm, and vast experience in program development and
implementation combine to make her an invaluable asset to the
organizational change process. We benefited greatly from her
assistance." References are available upon request.
