Testimonials
What clients have to say.
"Terrill is an extraordinarily thoughtful and talented organizational consultant. She brings a wonderful sense of humor to her work, along with superb people skills and outstanding knowledge about group dynamics. With an ability to be direct when necessary, she balances her guidance with encouraging, enabling advice. Terrill possesses an unusual sense of what makes for a healthy board of directors and has a deep commitment to social justice causes. Terrill brings her talents to the table in such a way that brings greater commitment and greater outcomes for the work in which she and others are engaged."
"I am amazed by how much our organization was able to accomplish over a short period time thanks to Terrill's assistance. Over a period of one year, Terrill helped us to move from feeling stuck and anxious about the future to recognizing our strengths, repairing strained relationships, creating a new vision for our work, clarifying roles, establishing a new structure to carry us through the next stage in our development, and recruiting a whole new set of volunteers to help put all these ideas into action."
"Terrill was instrumental in shepherding our small nonprofit through a very challenging phase. We were growing from a group of founding members with a Board that reflected the passion and zeal of creating something, to a group that needed a board that could sustain the organization and provide for staff. With Terrill's innovative and specifically tailored approach to our organization, we were able to sort out core structural issues as well as loftier issues of vision and mission. As we went through each task, Terrill kept us on track and tended the processes, the relationships and the organization we were striving to become."
"Terrill exhibited exceptional leadership skills in supporting our organization through a full organizational transition; including the recruitment and training of a new executive director and the development of what had been a skeletal board of directors. Terrill’s ability to provide assistance with a workable transition plan, listen patiently, relay options, create a positive work environment and work with a variety of personalities made her invaluable to us. She handled issues of race, class, age, and sexual identity with sensitivity. She competently negotiated conflicts between individuals and within a group. Our organization has Terrill to thank for helping us successfully moving it into a new stage of development."
"Terrill provided our organization with patient and empathetic guidance. Her positive energy, careful listening, skilled facilitation, insightful questions, and well constructed exercises brought out our best thinking. She shared stories and theories about organizational development that helped us to see a larger context for our organization's particular challenges. Her concise and well-written reports enabled us to track our decisions and accomplishments. Her recommendations for action clearly came from a deep understanding of our organization's strength, potential, and difficulties."
"Terrill was remarkable in her insightful and deft approach to significant tensions in our growing nonprofit. She quickly recognized both our major challenge and our strengths; thoughtfully shared the information she’d gathered and her thoughts about it; organized and cheered us on as we decided how to move forward. Terrill’s integrity, warmth, quiet sense of humor, confidence, and her sense of when and how to intervene made all the difference in re-inventing and re-invigorating our organization."
"I found Terrill to be extremely easy to work with and was inspired by her passion for organizational development. As our strategic planning project was the first I had ever worked on, I found that Terrill explained the process thoroughly so that I felt a great deal of buy-in in the project. The resulting plan is action oriented and fits the needs of our program well. Terrill's facilitation skills are some of the best I have ever experienced and wish I could work with her on a regular basis to make all our meetings as productive and enjoyable."
