"Team Development & Facilitation Consulting played a major role in improving our employee’s attitudes regarding their individual career journey, their trust and respect for each other, and their overall understanding of company objectives and how their contributions strengthened the total effort. While the project focused on the company population as a whole, Mr. York has the extraordinary ability to drill down to the individual level and bring them into the process whereby the overall results are significantly enhanced. The professional strategy utilized in this project was supported by detailed and easy to understand progress presentations that kept our management team fully appraised throughout the process." "Just a quick note before I leave town to thank you for a terrific program today. It was energizing and helpful to everyone. You were creative and the Four Fold strategy was just the right focus for their work. ... Again, thank you for your presentation and your continued interest in working with [us]." "First, I'd like to tell you how much I appreciate your wisdom and leadership regarding this debriefing. You were professional and lead the group well. It would be a pleasure to work with you again in the future." "I thought the training was fabulous and everyone seemed to agree! In fact, once, after you left, a manager talked about some problems she was having with an employee and we referred back to your material. Many thanks for all the good info!" "Thanks also for your wonderful presentation today on decision-making. It was very well done and some valuable concepts were communicated. We look forward to having you back." "Your methodology and creativeness resulted in very participative and informative focus groups. With your help, we were able to identify key client needs and set directions for product development and marketing from all we learned from our participants. Your extensive experience proved to be a real asset for the center." "I don't know if I ever thanked you for being a great facilitator at the focus groups last week. ... You were wonderful. I have received many emails about how great and refreshing it was to get together and unleash. You made that happen for us. The information obtained is very valuable and will be used to plan the technology day and to improve our services ... Thanks to you for doing such a great job!!" "We can't begin to thank you enough for giving of all your time and wonderful talents to facilitate the diversity forum sponsored by the Dallas Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. You have helped us make the first strides toward the questions we need to answer so that we can achieve our objectives. You're phenomenal!" "It is evident, from all of the comments and ensuing discussions, that ... [you] ... did an excellent job. The workshop was well received and participants are prepared to move forward on implementing a plan to build up the capacity of the refugee program in Texas." "Thank you does not begin to express my gratitude for your work and effort last night with the RSO Executive Committee and staff. I thought the evening helped us refocus on what's working and what could be better. Now my job is to remind the committee of their commitments and celebrate the victories along the way. Thanks again for your time, insight and expertise." "Thank you so very much for giving your time and effort to helping the Executive Committee of the Symphony plan together for this critical year ahead of us. Your guidance and your enthusiasm provided just the right atmosphere for some creative thinking and for laying the groundwork for further planning. ... I will study all the little colored notes and the big printed pages and put the many ideas and suggestions into a document which we can distribute to all the officers. We realize that accountability is so important so we will monitor the progress as the Committees decide how they can make all these good things happen. We will surely give consideration to having you return at a later date to check on our progress and make further suggestions." "Committed, creative individuals develop effective plans through the thoughtful, professional guidance of Richard M. York and Team Development & Facilitation Consulting. Under his leadership, the Dallas Chapter of United Nations Association of the U. S. A. is working through an action planning process, developing new shared visions of its leadership, its members, funding and program services to the community. Mr. York brings years of experience and insight, which he combines with a profound grasp of organizational needs and a sense of humor, that enlightens and inspires people into an effective team to achieve goals they form together." "My previous experience with strategic planning sessions was that they were long drawn out brain storming sessions. Richard's facilitation style made our strategic planning session fun." "The test of facilitators is whether they get you where you want to go, not where they think you should go. Richard York and his associates helped FaithLEAP Dallas do just that. They pitched us a process that allowed us to put the ball in play, then led us around the diamond, touching all the bases, until we arrived safe at home. I recommend them highly." "We wanted to thank you again for your facilitation and meeting expertise provided at today's session. We feel that everything went great (better than expected) and we are moving in the right direction. Given the short notice of your involvement, things really came together quite nicely and the focus on vision and the group exercises were very appropriate. Rhonda, [Rhonda Pherigo, Director of Consulting Management Services, Center for Nonprofit Management] we thank you as well for your quick response in finding us Richard. " |
