“Thank you, Janet, for your incredible facilitation of our strategic planning process. Your ability to pull together 18 + directors from across the state to accomplish such an important action item was admirable and appreciated. You met with the advisory team, surveyed the entire membership to build the initial meeting narrative, and helped us execute a highly successful full day. Honoring Appreciative Inquiry framework encouraged all members to contribute that day and throughout the process.
“Being able to build aspiration statements and action plans, create working groups, and agree on immediate next steps and principles for working together after the meeting, helped the network move quickly in to action. You helped our network achieve a solid foundation, establish a leadership plan and action steps that will serve our network and more importantly help us serve our communities.
“Thank you for your diligence, follow through and ability to move a large group through pre-planning, information gathering, meeting, and execution of a final plan. You met all of our expectations, in a timely manner, professionally and with patience and grace.”
