Testimonials
Thanks, Lunell. Your help with developing
a plan has been so helpful to our
organization. I'm really looking forward to
working with a newly energized board of
trustees. It seemed to be entirely painless
for the participants, a good thing, and
entirely positive. Thank you so very much.

That was the most civil public meeting
I've ever attended
--Citizen, Contentious public meeting
People appreciated the opportunity to
have candid conversations amongst a diverse
group of stakeholders—your skilled
stewardship of those conversations kept the
group moving in a productive direction that
effectively advanced key elements of our
plan…your contribution was critical to the
success of this important and historic
event.

Good training is training which is
effectively utilized in the workplace and
beyond. This cannot happen unless the
training is truly learned and carried beyond
the classroom. My experience, having
attended several of your programs for my
staff, is that you are darned good at
facilitating real learning. You are
prepared, knowledgeable and well read on the
subject matter. Yet, you share this
information without a great deal of
lecturing. Instead, you encourage discussion
through numerous group exercises drawing
upon shared experiences and thoughts of the
participants. Anyone who has ever done this
knows it involves real skill guiding these
discussions towards the learning objectives.
--Division Supervisor
Lunell quickly sorts out the issues,
encourages everyone to be part of the
process and creates a safe environment for
real dialogue and learning. When there is
conflict or misunderstandings, Lunell can
facilitate among team members until everyone
is back on track and focusing on their work
together. I have seen her bridge the gap
between manager expectations and team
understanding so that both sides remain
focused on the job at hand. Her expertise
and humor are balanced so everyone comes
away feeling supported and understood.
--Training Director
I know you as a very competent and able
professional with a lot of abilities in many
directions. More importantly, I have known
you as a fine and warm human being. A person
with a lot of integrity and heart and a real
passion and love for the land…and a desire
to bring people together to protect it and
make it better, however that can be done.
